title: How to get string response from php using android volley JsonObjectRequest?
body: <p>ctually when we call API and send request in JSON format we are expecting response also come into JSON format. <strong>But here back end team sending me response in String format therefore my onErrorResponse () method get called. Here my status code is 200. But due to format of response not executed onResponse () method. So will you please help me to handle this? Might be I have to use CustomRequest here.
