I'm trying to display my feed with CardViews in my Recyclerview using JSON and the Retrofit library. I have been working on this problem for 4 hours and 1 hour searching google now, but still, to no success.
No matter what I try I get the following error:
D/Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 1 column 2 path $
D/Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was BEGIN_ARRAY at line 1 column 2 path $
JSON Example from PHP API:
[{"id":"143","uploadID":"36","type":"excellent","userID":"58","username":"doitlikeaves","date":"31 May","timestamp":"2016-05-31 22:37:50","title":"PH Zusammenfassung #2","subject":"Physik"},{"id":"142","uploadID":"36","type":"presentation","userID":"58","username":"doitlikeaves","date":"31 May","timestamp":"2016-05-31 21:57:21","title":"PH Zusammenfassung #2","subject":"Physik"},{"id":"141","uploadID":"61","type":"document","userID":"56","username":"maja","date":"31 May","timestamp":"2016-05-31 14:29:00","title":" Rev.","subject":"Geschichte"}]

I'm stil pretty new to Java and Android Programming, I know PHP pretty good, but Java really gives me headaches sometimes.
Thank you a lot for trying to help me, I really appreciate it!
