Retrofit 2 : End of input at line 1 column 1 path $

Question

Have made a thorough searching to this particular problem but while implementing answers under each question I encountered, am still getting the same output:

 End of input at line 1 column 1 path $ 

I perfomed my Request on PostMan and I got expected output: Here is the Screenshot of the Postman Request

Interfaces

 @POST(Constant.API_REQUEST)
    Observable<ServerResponse> postToWinnersList(@Body ServerRequest serverRequest);

ApiClient

public class ApiClient {
    public static Retrofit retrofit;

    private static OkHttpClient.Builder okHttpClientBuilder;
    private static HttpLoggingInterceptor loggingInterceptor;


    public static Retrofit getApiClient(){
        if (retrofit == null){
//            create instance of Httpclient
            okHttpClientBuilder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
            loggingInterceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
            loggingInterceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);

            if(BuildConfig.DEBUG){
                okHttpClientBuilder.addInterceptor(loggingInterceptor);
            }
//            instance of retrofit
            retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl(Constant.BASE_URL).
                    addCallAdapterFactory(RxJava2CallAdapterFactory.create()).
                    addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                    .client(okHttpClientBuilder.build())
                    .build();
        }
        return retrofit;
    }
}

Retrofit/RxJava Request Code:

     Observable<ServerResponse> response = apiInterface.postToWinnersList(serverRequest);
                response.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                        .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                        .subscribeWith(new DisposableObserver<ServerResponse>() {
                            @Override
                            public void onNext(ServerResponse serverResponse) {
                                AVLoadingIndicatorView1.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                                txtSubmitWinner.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                            }

                            @Override
                            public void onError(Throwable e) {
                                AVLoadingIndicatorView1.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                                txtSubmitWinner.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            }

                            @Override
                            public void onComplete() {
                                showShortMsg(getString(R.string.submit_success));
                            }
                        });

Kindly help, thanks in Advance.

You can get this error when you are expecting an object in the response, but the API doesn't return anything other than result codes (200,...). Options: - Check that the API really returns a ServerResponse. - If you don't really need it to return anything, use Observable<Response<Void>> instead of Observable<ServerResponse>
