ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException on call instance.

[Ncl8]

I started to get this error message after upgrading to retrofit:2.0.0-beta3. Not sure if that's the culprit or what since reverting to previous version doesn't seem to make a difference. Just in case the fault was in my retrofit code, i copied the sample code and ran it with the same result.

I only get it on marshmallow devices.

Line 94 refers to Call<List> call = github.contributors("square", "retrofit");

That line is called inside an GenericAsyncTaskLoader (https://gist.github.com/HenokT/7873979)

Calling it in a normal AsyncTask doesn't produce an error.

This is a bug in the Android Gradle plugin 2.0.0-alpha6. Reverting to alpha3 will fix it. See #1486 for more info and a link to the bug filed on b.android.com.

I encountered this issue, when I am using Mars-mallow. I do not have an issue using Lollipop. I disabled the Instant Run from Android Studio and the problem is gone.

Guys, this issue does have any relation with Retrofit I think.
For me I had same issue but what was causing this was the erroneous processes inside onResponse

@OverRide
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
//Error was happening inside here
//I was calling an other Object instance and passing them wrong parameters
}

Still my instant code running is enabled and everything is as by default.

Hope this will help someone.
a funny thing is that, its my first time to comment on something on Github.... Jejejejeje
Happy coding Day

[Antonkog]

I have same issue with 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
when call with retrofit:
Throwing new exception 'length=668; index=1366' with unexpected pending exception: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=668; index=1366
I have this only when launch on real device 6.0.1 and on emulator with api 23 everything works fine.

[turkovsky]

I have the same issue, gradle is 3.0.1
Disabling of instant run became helpful

[droid-lover]

Disabling of instant run solves this error

I faced the same while running app on Emulator with API 23.

just Disable Instant Run and this error disappear and app works fine.

[nysin]

why when i dissabled the instant run ,but it's also occur.

[pedromassango]

Ok, looks like the instant run tip is the perfect solution for this. It worked for me!

Disabling the instant run is not a solution unfortunately. It's a workaround and it should be fixed by next updates.

[adnanganie]

Try to Disable Instant Run
Another Solution is use Latest Version of Gradle Plugin

[korydondzila]

This appears to still be an issue with Marshmallow devices, yes disabling Instant run is a work around but not a fix.

[android-x64]

When I faced the issue I was using next versions of the libraries:

implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.9.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.9.0'`

gradle:

com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3

and was initializing Retrofit instance like this:

Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl(URL)
        .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
        .build()

But changing of GsonConverterFactory initializing to GsonConverterFactory.create(GsonBuilder().create()) solved the problem:

Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl(URL)
        .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(GsonBuilder().create()))
        .build()
