While using the Spotify search API, I want to receive a list of albums back. However, there is always an error about it expecting an array but getting an object. However in my code, I have set the type as array only. So I don't know where I am going wrong.
This is the Spotify documentation- https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/search/search/
Main Activity(I get static TOKEN from loginactivity)

mTestTextView = findViewById(R.id.test_textview);
mAlbumList = new ArrayList<>();
mAlbum = new Album();
retrofitOperations();
mSearchButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
if (mSearchEditText.getText() != null) {
searchForArt(mSearchEditText.getText().toString());
}
}
});
}
private void searchForArt(String text) {
text = text.replace(" ", "&20");
HashMap<String, String> parameters = new HashMap<>();
parameters.put("Authorization", "Bearer " + TOKEN);
Call<Album> call = mSpotifyService.getAlbum(text, "album", parameters);
Log.d(TAG, "searchForArt: started call");
call.enqueue(new Callback<Album>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(@NonNull Call<Album> call, @NonNull Response<Album> response) {
if (!response.isSuccessful()) {
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Response not successful", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: not successful");
return;
}
Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: successful");
mTestTextView.setText(null);
mAlbum = response.body();
