GSON is converting string to number in Json serialization

Question

GSON is converting a string that contains a number into a number in Json. I'm using the following code to generate a JsonElement:

    JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
    JsonElement sendPayload = parser.parse("{post_data : {login: "+login+", password: "+password+"}}");
    Log.d(CLASS_NAME, "Login Send payload: " + sendPayload);

It prints:

    LoginServiceManager﹕ Login Send payload: {"post_data":{"login":"[email protected]","password":123456}}

It should print:

    LoginServiceManager﹕ Login Send payload: {"post_data":{"login":"[email protected]","password":"123456"}}

How to achieve that?

What is the type of password

It looks like the bug is in your code that constructs a JSON string and passes this to parser.parse():

"{post_data : {login: [email protected], password: 123456}}"

That's not valid JSON so you're lucky or unlucky (depending on viewpoint) that parse() doesn't throw an exception.

A quick fix would be:

JsonElement sendPayload = parser.parse(
  "{\"post_data\": {\"login\": \"" + login + "\", \"password\": \"" + password + "\"}}");

A more robust fix would be to construct a JsonElement using its API. E.g. that wouldn't break if the password string contains ".

Hey You can try following workaround:

JsonElement sendPayload = parser.parse("{post_data : {login: "+login+", password:\""+password+"\"}}");
