Android Retrofit no response

Question

HI I'm just new to retrofit service and followed this tutorial https://www.simplifiedcoding.net/retrofit-android-tutorial-to-get-json-from-server/ it works well and wanted to create my very own so i used a new json web http://api.androidhive.info/contacts/ that contains

                "home": "00 000000",
                "office": "00 000000"
            }
    }
]

I implemented my own interface ContactAPI.java

public interface ContactsAPI {
@GET("/contacts/")
public void getContacts(Callback<List<Contact>> response);}

And Implemented model class like this Contact.java

public class Contact {

@SerializedName("id")
@Expose
private String id;
@SerializedName("name")
@Expose
private String name;
@SerializedName("email")
@Expose
private String email;
@SerializedName("address")
@Expose
private String address;
@SerializedName("gender")
@Expose
private String gender;
public String getId() {return id;}
public void setId(String id) {this.id = id;}
public String getName() {return name;}
public void setName(String name) {this.name = name;}
public String getEmail() {return email;}
public void setEmail(String email) {this.email = email;}
public String getAddress() {return address;}
public void setAddress(String address) {this.address = address;}
public String getGender() {return gender;}
public void setGender(String gender) {this.gender = gender;}}

then finally implemented my Restadapter in MainActivity.class

  public static final String ROOT_URL = "http://api.androidhive.info";
  private ListView listView;
  private List<Contact> contacts;
   RestAdapter adapter = new RestAdapter.Builder().setEndpoint(ROOT_URL).build();
    ContactsAPI api = adapter.create(ContactsAPI.class);

    api.getContacts(new Callback<List<Contact>>() {
        @Override
        public void success(List<Contact> list, Response response) {
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,list.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            showList();
        }

        @Override
        public void failure(RetrofitError error) {
            //you can handle the errors here
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,"Error Occured:"+error.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

The App runs smoothly but after a 4 seconds delay it will promt an error which is public void failure(RetrofitError error) i dont know what i'm missing i checked my code and can't find anything wrong pls help me thanks in advance.

Answer 1

if the json is this you need a class with:

public class Contacts {
    @SerializedName("contacts")
    @Expose
    private List<Contact> contacts = new ArrayList<Contact>();

    /**
     *
     * @return
     * The contacts
     */
    public List<Contact> getContacts() {
        return contacts;
    }

    /**
     *
     * @param contacts
     * The contacts
     */
    public void setContacts(List<Contact> contacts) {
        this.contacts = contacts;
    }

}

Also in your interface ContactAPI.java

public interface ContactsAPI {
    @GET("/contacts/")
    public void getContacts(Callback<Contacts> response);
}
