Android Retrofit: content type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Question

Fairly new to android development. I am trying to use retrofit to send a post request. In my retrofit logs, I am seeing

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 

I found that requests will only work if I use the content type:

application/x-www-form-urlencoded 

I have searched the googles and have found no clear way to explicitly set the content type. Anyone know how to do it?

Answer 1

In the class where you define your service, modify the related method to follow the pattern below:

@FormUrlEncoded @POST/GET/PUT/DELETE("/your_endpoint") Object yourMethodName(@Field("your_field") String yourField,...); 

Answer 2

In retrofit 2 is a little bit different:

@FormUrlEncoded @POST/GET/PUT/DELETE("/your_endpoint") Call<Task> createTask (@Field("your_field") String title);
