Gson set SerializedName - gson

Question

I am using retrofit for making requests to my server. I am trying to use the same Model for multiple requests and I want to send different objects with different SerializedName.
My pojo looks like this:
public class BaseModel<T> implements Serializable {
#SerializedName("success")
#Expose
private boolean succcess;
#SerializedName("data")
#Expose private T data;
public boolean isSucccess() {
return succcess;
}
public void setSucccess(boolean succcess) {
this.succcess = succcess;
}
public T getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(T data) {
this.data = data;
}
}
How can I set my #SerializedName("data") in a dynamic way? Thank you all for your time!
Code sample:
public class BaseRequestModel<T> implements Serializable {
#SerializedName("success")
#Expose
private boolean success;
#Expose private T data;
public boolean isSucccess() {
return success;
}
public void setSucccess(boolean succcess) {
this.success = succcess;
}
public T getData() {
return data;
}
public void setData(T data) {
this.data = data;
}
}
One of the objects that I am sending to BaseModel (as T data):
public class User implements Serializable {
transient String requestName = "user";
#SerializedName("id")
#Expose
private int id;
#SerializedName("owner_id")
#Expose private int ownerId;
#SerializedName("first_name")
#Expose private String firstName;
#SerializedName("middle_name")
#Expose private String middleName;
#SerializedName("last_name")
#Expose private String lastName;
#SerializedName("username")
#Expose private String username;
public String getRequestName() {
return requestName;
}
public void setRequestName(String requestName) {
this.requestName = requestName;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public int getOwnerId() {
return ownerId;
}
public void setOwnerId(int ownerId) {
this.ownerId = ownerId;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getMiddleName() {
return middleName;
}
public void setMiddleName(String middleName) {
this.middleName = middleName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
}
My custom serializer:
public class BaseRequestCustomSerializer<T> implements JsonSerializer<User> {
#Override
public JsonElement serialize(User src, Type typeOfSrc, JsonSerializationContext context) {
src.getRequestName();
return null;
}
}
I have to pass to the serializer instead of the specific object, since this is what my problem is all about. Any ideas? Thank you!

if you want to set #SerializedName("data") than you must be get same variable name from api response.
