GSON lanzando "Esperado COMENZAR OBJETO pero fue COMENZAR MATRIZ"? [duplicar]

El problema es que estás pidiendo un objeto de tipo ChannelSearchEnum pero lo que realmente tienes es un objeto de tipo List<ChannelSearchEnum>.

Puedes lograr esto con:

Type collectionType = new TypeToken<List<ChannelSearchEnum>>(){}.getType();
List<ChannelSearchEnum> lcs = (List<ChannelSearchEnum>) new Gson()
               .fromJson( jstring , collectionType);

En mi caso cadena JSON:

[{"category":"College Affordability",
  "uid":"150151",
  "body":"Ended more than $60 billion in wasteful subsidies for big banks and used the savings to put the cost of college within reach for more families.",
  "url":"http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/economy\/middle-class\/helping middle-class-families-pay-for-college",
  "url_title":"ending subsidies for student loan lenders",
  "type":"Progress",
  "path":"node\/150385"}]

E imprimo "category " y" url_title " en recycleview

Datum.clase

import com.google.gson.annotations.Expose;
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName;

public class Datum {
@SerializedName("category")
@Expose
private String category;
@SerializedName("uid")
@Expose
private String uid;
@SerializedName("url_title")
@Expose
private String urlTitle;

/**
 * @return The category
 */
public String getCategory() {
    return category;
}

/**
 * @param category The category
 */
public void setCategory(String category) {
    this.category = category;
}

/**
 * @return The uid
 */
public String getUid() {
    return uid;
}

/**
 * @param uid The uid
 */
public void setUid(String uid) {
    this.uid = uid;
}

/**
 * @return The urlTitle
 */
public String getUrlTitle() {
    return urlTitle;
}

/**
 * @param urlTitle The url_title
 */
public void setUrlTitle(String urlTitle) {
    this.urlTitle = urlTitle;
}

}

RequestInterface

import java.util.List;

import retrofit2.Call;
import retrofit2.http.GET;

/** * Creado por Shweta.Chauhan el 13/07/16. */

public interface RequestInterface {

Call<List<Datum>> getJSON();

}

DataAdapter

import android.content.Context;
import android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.TextView;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

/** * Creado por Shweta.Chauhan el 13/07/16. */

public class DataAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<DataAdapter.MyViewHolder>{

private Context context;
private List<Datum> dataList;

public DataAdapter(Context context, List<Datum> dataList) {
    this.context = context;
    this.dataList = dataList;

@Override
public MyViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
    View view= LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.data,parent,false);
    return new MyViewHolder(view);

@Override

public class MyViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder{

Y finalmente MainActivity.java

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    initViews();
}

private void initViews(){
    recyclerView=(RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.recycler_view);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(getApplicationContext()));
    loadJSON();
}

private void loadJSON(){
    dataArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
    Retrofit retrofit=new Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl("https://www.whitehouse.gov/").addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()).build();
    RequestInterface requestInterface=retrofit.create(RequestInterface.class);
    Call<List<Datum>> call= requestInterface.getJSON();
    call.enqueue(new Callback<List<Datum>>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<List<Datum>> call, Response<List<Datum>> response) {
            dataArrayList = response.body();
            dataAdapter=new DataAdapter(getApplicationContext(),dataArrayList);
            recyclerView.setAdapter(dataAdapter);
        }

        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call<List<Datum>> call, Throwable t) {
            Log.e("Error",t.getMessage());
        }
    });
}
}

La alternativa podría ser

Para hacer que su respuesta parezca

MyCustom_JSONResponse

{"master":[
   {
      "updated_at":"2012-03-02 21:06:01",
      "fetched_at":"2012-03-02 21:28:37.728840",
      "description":null,
      "language":null,
      "title":"JOHN",
      "url":"http://rus.JOHN.JOHN/rss.php",
      "icon_url":null,
      "logo_url":null,
      "id":"4f4791da203d0c2d76000035",
      "modified":"2012-03-02 23:28:58.840076"
   },
   {
      "updated_at":"2012-03-02 14:07:44",
      "fetched_at":"2012-03-02 21:28:37.033108",
      "description":null,
      "language":null,
      "title":"PETER",
      "url":"http://PETER.PETER.lv/rss.php",
      "icon_url":null,
      "logo_url":null,
      "id":"4f476f61203d0c2d89000253",
      "modified":"2012-03-02 23:28:57.928001"
   }
]
}

En lugar de

Server_JSONResponse

[
   {
      "updated_at":"2012-03-02 21:06:01",
      "fetched_at":"2012-03-02 21:28:37.728840",
      "description":null,
      "language":null,
      "title":"JOHN",
      "url":"http://rus.JOHN.JOHN/rss.php",
      "icon_url":null,
      "logo_url":null,
      "id":"4f4791da203d0c2d76000035",
      "modified":"2012-03-02 23:28:58.840076"
   },
   {
      "updated_at":"2012-03-02 14:07:44",
      "fetched_at":"2012-03-02 21:28:37.033108",
      "description":null,
      "language":null,
      "title":"PETER",
      "url":"http://PETER.PETER.lv/rss.php",
      "icon_url":null,
      "logo_url":null,
      "id":"4f476f61203d0c2d89000253",
      "modified":"2012-03-02 23:28:57.928001"
   }
]

CÓDIGO

  String server_JSONResponse =.... // the string in which you are getting your JSON Response after hitting URL
String myCustom_JSONResponse="";// in which we will keep our response after adding object element to it
     MyClass apiResponse = new MyClass();

     myCustom_JSONResponse="{\"master\":"+server_JSONResponse+"}";



    apiResponse = gson.fromJson(myCustom_JSONResponse, MyClass .class);

Después de esto será cualquier otro GSON Parsing

De acuerdo con la guía del usuario de GSON, no se puede.

Limitaciones de las colecciones

Puede serializar la colección de objetos arbitrarios pero no puede deserializar de ella. Porque no hay forma para que el usuario indique el tipo del objeto resultante
