java.lang.NumberFormatException: Expected an int but was 0.6 at line 1 column 8454

Question

I'm using the retrofit library for my calls in a demo project.

I received the following error:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: Expected an int but was 0.6 at line 1 column 8454 path $.result.results.ads[2].acres

I under stand that this is down to GSON.

I will show you the JSON it's getting caught in:

   {

       "property_type":"site",
       "house_type":"",

       ],

       "auction_date":0,
       "tags":1
    },

I'm not that experienced with Retrofit so decided to learn and integrate on this project.

Would anyone have any suggestions?

I don't have any control over the JSON being sent down.

Answer 1

Try using a float or double instead of an int; 0.6 is not an integer, it is a decimal. Note that java automatically interprets decimals as doubles; an example of a float would be 0.6f.
