I am using android studio and kotlin attempting to make an API call using retrofit with gson library. I used the JSON to kotlin data class plugin to make my data classes. I have looked for solutions and havent been able to find anything that exactly matches my issue here. I looked up how to add a no args constructor in kotlin but that involves setting all the fields to default values which is not what I want. I wondered if somehow it was calling the API but not receiving anything in the conversion rates but I wasn't exactly sure how to check since I instantly get thrown the error when calling the API.
The exact error I am receiving is:
"Unable to invoke no-args constructor for class com.schrader.currency_take_two.data.models.ConversionRates. Registering an InstanceCreator with Gson for this type may fix this problem."
Here is my build.gradle

Here are the data classes one is shortened here because it is very long:
package com.schrader.currency_take_two.data.models
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName
data class CurrencyResponse(
@SerializedName("base_code")
val baseCode: String,
@SerializedName("conversion_rates")
val conversionRates: ConversionRates,
@SerializedName("documentation")
val documentation: String,
@SerializedName("result")
val result: String,
@SerializedName("terms_of_use")
val termsOfUse: String,
@SerializedName("time_last_update_unix")
val timeLastUpdateUnix: Int,
@SerializedName("time_last_update_utc")
val timeLastUpdateUtc: String,
@SerializedName("time_next_update_unix")
val timeNextUpdateUnix: Int,
@SerializedName("time_next_update_utc")
val timeNextUpdateUtc: String
)
package com.schrader.currency_take_two.data.models
import com.google.gson.annotations.SerializedName
data class ConversionRates(
@SerializedName("AED")
val aED: Double,
@SerializedName("AFN")
val aFN: Double,
@SerializedName("ALL")
val aLL: Double,
@SerializedName("AMD")
val aMD: Double,
@SerializedName("ANG")
val aNG: Double,
@SerializedName("AOA")
val aOA: Double,
@SerializedName("ARS")
val aRS: Double
)
Here is the retrofit call and my retrofit instance:
interface CurrencyApi {
@GET("/v6/API_KEY/latest/{Currency}")
suspend fun getRates(
@Path("Currency") currency: String //This adds onto the API URL in the {} in the GET, @Query adds a query to the URL 'Query={Query}'
): Response<CurrencyResponse>
}
The API call doesnt make it to the first Log call and instantly errors out to the catch block.
class Default_API_Repository @Inject constructor(
private val api: CurrencyApi
) : API_Repository {
override suspend fun getRates(currency: String): Resource<CurrencyResponse> {
return try{
val response = api.getRates(currency)
Log.d("API", "${response.toString()}")
val result = response.body()
if(response.isSuccessful && response != null ){
Resource.Success(result)
}else{
Log.d("API", "${response.message()}")
Resource.Error(response.message())
}
}catch (e: Exception){
Log.d("API", "${e.message}")
Resource.Error(e.message ?: "An error occurred")
}
}
}
private const val BASE_URL = "https://v6.exchangerate-api.com"
@Module
@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
class AppModule {
@Provides
@Singleton
fun provideCurrencyApi(): CurrencyApi = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build()
.create(CurrencyApi::class.java)
This is how I call the API in the main activity:
GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO){
var response = apiRepo.getRates("USD")
if(response.data == null){
Log.d("MAIN", "${response.message}")
}
Log.d("MAIN", "${response.toString()}")
}
Here is the exact JSON from the API:

You need to initialize them. One of the reason maybe the value is null.
