hi, is there any content length limit in ktor Android?

I'm getting the content length of size 5632 characters in response but Ktor is returning the response of length 4055
Can anyone suggest something please?

There is no such limit.
Can you share the code snippet where you check the response body size?

[Ahmad Hassan]

Well, I'm using ktor client logging and checking the size of the encrypted string from logs which is 4055

[Ahmad Hassan]

found that this is not ktor response issue
But serialization problem

Can you suggest how to serialize the class if it has Any type?
receiving error on Any:
Serializer has not been found for type 'Any'. To use context serializer as fallback, explicitly annotate type or property with @Contextua

@Serializable
data class NetworkResponse(
    @SerialName("statusCode")
    val statusCode: String? = null,

    @SerialName("statusMessage")
    val statusMessage: String? = null,

    @SerialName("token")
    val token: String? = null,

    @SerialName("verification_token")
    val verificationToken: String? = null,

    @SerialName("data")
    val data: LinkedHashMap<String, Any>? = null,
)

I suggest looking into the contextual serializers.

thank you for the response
Can you share the link for example, using gson with ktor?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

So are you using Gson or kotlinx.serialization library?

[Ahmad Hassan]

Currently using kotlinx.serialization

Now want to use Gson, as serialization require additional setup

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Here, you find serialization examples including the Gson usage.
