How to get string response from Retrofit2?
<p>I am doing android, looking for a way to do a super basic http GET/POST request. I keep getting an error:</p>

<pre><code>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to create converter for class java.lang.String
</code></pre>

<p>Webservice:</p>

<pre><code>public interface WebService {
    @GET("/projects")
    Call&lt;String&gt; jquery();
}
</code></pre>

<p>then in my java:</p>

<pre><code>    Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl("https://jquery.org")
       // .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
        .build();

    WebService service = retrofit.create(WebService.class);
    Call&lt;String&gt; signin = service.jquery();

    Toast.makeText(this, signin.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
</code></pre>

<p>I'm literally just trying to query jquery.org/projects with a GET request and return the String that it responds with. What is wrong?</p>

<p>If I try to implement a custom Converter (I've found a few examples online) it complains that I didn't implement the abstract method convert(F), which none of the examples do.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
