Boolean: is naming convention: Cannot find symbol

[PaulWoitaschek]

I have a very simple class:

@AutoValue public abstract class PurchaseStateModel {

    @NonNull public static PurchaseStateModel of(boolean isPurchased) {
        return new AutoValue_PurchaseStateModel(isPurchased);
    }

    public abstract boolean isPurchased();
}

Which causes an exception at compile time. It transformed "isPurchased" to "purchased".

@Override
    public void write(JsonWriter jsonWriter, PurchaseStateModel object) throws IOException {
      jsonWriter.beginObject();
      jsonWriter.name("purchased");
      purchasedAdapter.write(jsonWriter, object.purchased());
      jsonWriter.endObject();
    }

This is because the is prefix is a common prefix, like get, for java properties, so AutoValue strips common Java property prefixes.

You can fix this by simply using Gson's @SerializedName attribute to tell it you actually do want the serialized version called isPurchased.

Are you sure it's not this bug which I fixed in the parcel impl? rharter/auto-value-parcel@cdba2d9

You're right. Sorry, I thought the error was in the JSON naming, not the method name. That makes sense now.
