Retrofit 2 sending post json

I would like to send a json parameter with Retrofit 2. This is my json structure: { key1 = {allowInfo1=1, allowInfo2=1,allowInfo3=0 }, key2 = {allowInfo1=0, allowInfo2=0,allowInfo3=1 } }

I'm trying to do it using: @FormUrlEncoded @POST("/api/functionname") Call<Result> UpdateUserNotificationsSettings(@Field("infouser") String infouser, @FieldMap Map<String, Map<String, String>> settings);

but I'm not able to send it correctly.

Am I doing well using Map? Thanks in advance

With @FormUrlEncoded you're instructing Retrofit to use a different format than JSON. You should send a single object with a @Body annotation instead of @Field and Retrofit will serialize it as JSON for you.
