Describe the problem.

When retrieving the currentLocation, an HTTP response 200 is returned with the 
following content :

{ "data": {  "kind": "latitude#location",  "timestampMs": "1302281187688",  
"latitude": 44.3148443,  "longitude": -85.6023643 }}

When attempting to parse this (using 
request.execute().parseAs(LocationResource.class)), the following exception 
occurs

How would you expect it to be fixed?

Shouldn't throw an exception, as an HTTP 200 response was returned from the 
Latitude API.

I'm hitting the same issue. I'm just following the "Instructions for the Google 
Latitude API JSON OAuth Sample" at 
http://samples.google-api-java-client.googlecode.com/hg/latitude-json-oauth-samp
le/instructions.html?r=default and I'm getting this exception even though the 
HttpResponse looks correct

Should be fixed already.  Latitude sample runs okay now.

.. but works if I change the type of LocationResource.timestampMs to String.

try the google-api-services-latitude-v1-1.1.0-beta.jar and 
google-api-client-1.4.1-beta.jar combo. There it got fixed.
