Gson: JSONObject transforms to nameValuePair

[Kolyall]

Example:

class Example {
 @SerializedName("exampleField")
    public JSONObject exampleField = new JSONObject("{\"name\":\"Nick\"}");
}

Log.e(TAG,gson.toJson(new Example()))

result:

"exampleField": {
  "nameValuePairs": {
   "name": "Nick"
  }
 }

expected Result:

"exampleField": {
   "name": "Nick"
   }

Use com.google.gson.JsonObject not org.json.JSONObject.

[JakeWharton]

Or write a TypeAdapterFactory that can handle org.json* types, but using Gson's own types seems a lot easier.

[l3vick]

with JsonObject my result is

"exampleField": {
"members": {
"name": "Nick"
}
}

instead of the expected result.

Can I create a JsonObject without any LinkedTreeMap or similar?
