How to pass string in 'Body' Parameter of Retrofit 2 in android

Question

@POST("api/login")
Call<ApiResponse> loginUser(@Body String user);

Here the string is actually a JSONstring i.e.

{"email":"[email protected]","password":"test"}

Couldnt figure out what is wrong in this. Either the string it again converted to json. Please suggest..

This is what i want to do to my request as shown in picture.

Answer 1

Convert your data in object

public class Credentials
{
    public String email;
    public String password;
}

Set the data to object

Credentials loginCredentials = new Credentials();
loginCredentials.email = "[email protected]";
loginCredentials.password = "password";

Call your api

@POST("api/login")
Call<ApiResponse> loginUser(@Body Credentials credentials);
