      }
   });

You can use a custom interface. If you pass the interface as parameter to the method "bookmark", you can use it.

try something like:

public interface BookmarkCallback{
      void onSuccess(boolean value);
      void onError();
}

your method should look like:

public void bookmark(final BookmarkCallback callback){
     Call<Response> call = service.bookmark(token, request);
     call.enqueue(new Callback<Response>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call<Response> call, retrofit2.Response<Response> response) {
             callback.onSuccess(true);
       }

       @Override
       public void onFailure(Call<Response call, Throwable t) {
           callback.onError();
       }
});

When you call this method, you have to pass one callback instance.
