OkHttp response status code in onFailure method

Question

when I user the OkHttp Library with a asynchronous way like this:

call.enqueue(new Callback() {
        @Override
        public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        @Override
        public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {

        }
    });

In the onFailure method, how I get the response status code to distinguish different errors. For example, Network error or Server error ?

Answer 1

As far as I remember, onFailure gets triggered when you get no response. So, if your receive an error, onResponse will be called. You can do something like this in onResponse:

@Override
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
    switch(response.code()){
    //your desired catched codes here.

   }
}

And official doc for onResponse method:

Note that transport-layer success (receiving a HTTP response code, headers and body) does not necessarily indicate application-layer success: response may still indicate an unhappy HTTP response code like 404 or 500.

According to the link, above, onFailure() is called if and only if there were problems with the client.

If the request was successfully delivered but there was a server problem you can check response.isSuccessful(). If it returns false, check response.code() and handle the error.
