There is a solution but it is not as clean as elsewhere.

 I would use binding instead of parsing.
 I have never done anything on Android, but I would
expect both JSON-B and Jackson to work on Android
 JSON-B is:
 Jsonb b = JsonbBuilder.create();
X o = b.fromJson(jsonstr, X.class);
 Jackson is:
 ObjectMapper om = new ObjectMapper();
X o = om.readValue(jsonstr, X.class);
 It don't get much easier than that.
 You can of course ask why it did not become part of standard
Java SE.
 For timeline/random reasons JSON-B became part of Java EE
not Java SE.

And just to be clear: the JSON-B specification is part of
Java EE not Java SE, but JSON-B libraries works fine in
Java SE - you just need to get them separately.
