What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.6, 1.7.1, 2.2.4, 2.3, Android L preview

Please provide any additional information below.
I built my app with Gson and Retrofit, it worked on every other Android 
versions except L preview. I tried some Gson versions (1.6, 1.7.1, 2.2.4, 2.3), 
none of them worked.

Can you provide a test case to reproduce this?

The final version of Android 5.0 (L) was released today to Nexus devices. I'll 
flash tomorrow and try. If I had to guess it was a bug in ART's handling of 
generics through reflection. Hopefully it was fixed in the final version.

It would be really helpful if you were able to show the Java classes which you 
are serializing so I don't have to guess at the generics you are using.

I've run into the exact same problem on Android 5.0.1 and on one of the final 
preview builds for L on the Nexus 5

Hopefully that's enough for you to be able to look into it.
