Below my function,

public <T> List<T> jsonToListBean(String json, Class<T> clazz) {

    Gson gson = new Gson();     

    Type listType = new TypeToken<List<T>>(){}.getType();       

    List<T> returnValue = gson.fromJson(json, listType);

    return returnValue;

}

but the system returns this exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.gson.internal.StringMap

I notice also that if I use the following line code

Type listType = new TypeToken<ArrayList<ShapeBean>>(){}.getType();

it works, but my target is to be absolutly as generic as possible to make my code more efficient.

How should i change my code to make usable also passing the type "T" instead the "ShapeBean"?

Solved. Thanks to kan's link below the code:

public <T> List<T> listEntity(String jsonCommand, Class<T> clazz) {



    List<T> lst =  new ArrayList<T>();

    try {

        // Consuming remote method

        JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();

        JsonArray array = parser.parse(jsonCommand).getAsJsonArray();



        for(final JsonElement json: array){

            Gson g = new Gson();

            T entity = g.fromJson(json, clazz);

            lst.add(entity);

        }

    } catch (Exception e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

    } return lst;

}
