Remove those pesky "status" objects in your JSON payload with Gson. Usage: new GsonConverter(new GsonBuilder().registerTypeAdapterFactory(new ItemTypeAdapterFactory())create());

ItemTypeAdapterFactory.java

public static class ItemTypeAdapterFactory implements TypeAdapterFactory {
    
    final static String KEY_TO_REMOVE = "status";

    @Override
    public <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, final TypeToken<T> type) {

        final TypeAdapter<T> delegate = gson.getDelegateAdapter(this, type);
        final TypeAdapter<JsonElement> elementAdapter = gson.getAdapter(JsonElement.class);

        return new TypeAdapter<T>() {

            @Override
            public void write(JsonWriter out, T value) throws IOException {
                delegate.write(out, value);
            }

            @Override
            public T read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
                JsonElement jsonElement = elementAdapter.read(in);
                if (jsonElement.isJsonObject()) {
                    JsonObject jsonObject = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject();
                    if (jsonObject.entrySet().size() == 2) {
                        jsonObject.remove(KEY_TO_REMOVE);
                        jsonElement = jsonObject.entrySet().iterator().next().getValue();
                    }
                }
                return delegate.fromJsonTree(jsonElement);
            }
        };
    }
}
