"unable to create converter for my class in android retrofit library" Code Answer

prior to 2.0.0, the default converter was a gson converter, but in 2.0.0 and later the default converter is responsebody. from the docs:

by default, retrofit can only deserialize http bodies into okhttp's responsebody type and it can only accept its requestbody type for @body.

in 2.0.0+, you need to explicitly specify you want a gson converter:

retrofit retrofit = new retrofit.builder()
    .baseurl("**sample base url here**")
    .addconverterfactory(gsonconverterfactory.create())
    .build();

you will also need to add the following dependency to your gradle file:

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.1.0'

use the same version for the converter as you do for your retrofit. the above matches this retrofit dependency:

compile ('com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.1.0')

also, note as of writing this, the retrofit docs are not completely updated, which is why that example got you into trouble. from the docs:

note: this site is still in the process of being expanded for the new 2.0 apis.
