IllegalArgumentException: Unable to create converter for java.util.List<ModelClass> when using SimpleXmlConverter with retrofit 2.0

[prince1389]

Usage

private Retrofit mRetrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl("http://www.w3schools.com")
                .addConverterFactory(SimpleXmlConverterFactory.create())
                .build();

Service class

public interface Food{
 @GET("/xml/simple.xml")
    Call<List<FoodId>> getFoodIdType();
}

Model class

@Root(name = "Food")
    public class Food{
        @Element(name = "id")
        private int id;
        @Element(name = "description")
        private String description;
        public Food(){

        }
}

Gradle config

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.0.0'
compile ('com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-simplexml:2.0.0') {
    exclude module: 'stax'
    exclude module: 'stax-api'
    exclude module: 'xpp3'
}

Side note: I was able to make it work with GsonConverterfactory, when used a different url.
