I'm migrating from using Volley to Retrofit, I already have gson class that I used before for converting JSONObject response to a object that implements gson annotations. When I'm trying to make a HTTP GET request using Retrofit but then my app crashes with this error:
Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.lightbulb.pawesome/com.example.sample.retrofit.SampleActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to create converter for class com.lightbulb.pawesome.model.Pet
for method GitHubService.getResponse
Im following the guide in retrofit site and I come up with these implementations:
This is my activity where I am trying to execute the retro http request:
public class SampleActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_sample);
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("**sample base url here**")
.build();
GitHubService service = retrofit.create(GitHubService.class);
Call<Pet> callPet = service.getResponse("41", "40");
callPet.enqueue(new Callback<Pet>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(Response<Pet> response) {
Log.i("Response", response.toString());
}
@Override
public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
Log.i("Failure", t.toString());
}
});
try{
callPet.execute();
} catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
My interface which turned to be my API
public interface GitHubService {
@GET("/ **sample here** /{petId}/{otherPet}")
Call<Pet> getResponse(@Path("petId") String userId, @Path("otherPet") String otherPet);
}
And finally the Pet class which should be the response:
public class Pet implements Parcelable {
public static final String ACTIVE = "1";
public static final String NOT_ACTIVE = "0";
@SerializedName("is_active")
@Expose
private String isActive;
@SerializedName("pet_id")
@Expose

dest.writeString(isActive);
dest.writeString(petId);
dest.writeString(name);

If anyone ever comes across this in the future because you are trying to define your own custom converter factory and are getting this error, it can also be caused by having multiple variables in a class with a misspelled or the same serialized name. IE:
Java
public class Foo {
@SerializedName("name")
String firstName;
@SerializedName("name")
String lastName;
}
Kotlin
data class Foo(
@SerializedName("name")
val firstName: String,
@SerializedName("name")
val lastName: String
)
Having serialized names defined twice (likely by mistake) will also throw this exact same error.
Update: Keep in mind that this logic also holds true via inheritance. If you extend to a parent class with an object that has the same Serialized name as you do in the sub-class, it will cause this same problem.
