Retrofit 2.0: getting response code 200 but not getting the desired data

Question

A very disappointing feature of Retrofit 2.0 is that it does not exactly tell where it fails in parsing the response. Hence, In postman when I hit the request with same body, I get a login response as:

 {
    "result": "success",
    "response_code": 200,
    "data": {
        "id": "1",
        "display_name": "admin",
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "username": "admin",
        "access_token": "8daa8e02ca432e51ae90912fbf63eeea"
    }
}

But when I hit the exact same request with exactly the same body in Retrofit, I get a very peculiar response as: {protocol=http/1.1, code=200, message=OK, url=http://192.168.0.52/evidya/wp-api/v1/user/login}. Now I have gone through other related questions with above mentioned problem but none of them is working for me. Please Help. My code:

Retrofit API interface:

public interface eVidyaApi {

    @FormUrlEncoded
    @POST("user/login")
    Call<LoginResponse> loginUser(
            @HeaderMap Map<String, String> headers,
            @Field("email") String email,
            @Field("password") String password
    );
}

Login Function:

    public void login() {
        Log.d(TAG, "Login");
        if (!validate()) {
            onLoginFailed();
            return;
        }

        final ProgressDialog progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(LoginActivity.this, R.style.MyDialogTheme);
        progressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
        progressDialog.setMessage("Authenticating...");
        progressDialog.show();

        String email = _emailText.getText().toString();
        String password = _passwordText.getText().toString();

        Log.d(TAG, "login: "+email+"  "+password);
        // TODO: Implement your own authentication logic here.
        Call<LoginResponse> loginResponseCall = evidya.loginUser(Common.getHeaders(), email, password);

        loginResponseCall.enqueue(new Callback<LoginResponse>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<LoginResponse> call, Response<LoginResponse> response) {
                progressDialog.dismiss();
                if(!response.isSuccessful()){
                    Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, ""+response.message(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: fail "+response.code());
                    return;
                }

                Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: success"+response.code()+"  "+response);

                if(response.body()!=null){
                    String content="";
//                    _loginButton.setEnabled(false);
                    LoginResponse loginResponse = response.body();
                    content += "code:"+ response.code();
                    content += "token:"+ loginResponse.getData().getAccessToken();
                    content += "result"+ loginResponse.getResult();
                    content += "result"+ loginResponse.getData().getDisplayName();
//                    onLoginSuccess();
                    Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: login res"+content);
                } else {
                    Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Invalid response from server", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }

            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<LoginResponse> call, Throwable t) {
                progressDialog.dismiss();
                Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Cannot fetch request", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }
        });
    }

My Logging(ok hhttp), when clicking the login button with wrong details:

My Logging(ok hhttp), when clicking the login button with CORRECT details:

Solution:

Basically the problem was that I was using Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: success"+response.code()+" "+response); to check the response in the onresponse callback. Whereas all I should have done is to not get stuck there and check the value of the loginResponse object (from LoginResponse loginResponse = response.body();). Because response.body actually stores the reponse in object form. This is how things work in retrofit.

Answer 1

As per your log, API calls properly. It also responds. but the issue is API authentication is failed from your back end. Add log on your web service and check. From the application side, it is working fine. this is not an issue of Retrofit.

Update your onResponse() with below and run application. then test and let me know what message you get.

if(response.body()!=null){
                LoginResponse loginResponse = response.body();
                String content="";
                if (response.body().getResponseCode()==200){
                    content+= loginResponse.getData().getAccessToken();
                    content+= loginResponse.getData().getDisplayName();
                    content+= loginResponse.getData().getEmail();
                    content+= loginResponse.getData().getId();
                    content+= loginResponse.getData().getUsername();
                }else{
                    content+=loginResponse.getData().getMsg();
                }

                Log.d(TAG, "onResponse: login res"+content);
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(LoginActivity.this, "Invalid response from server", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }

Below code in Data.java

 @SerializedName("msg")
        @Expose
        private String msg;
        public String getMsg() {
            return msg;
        }

        public void setMsg(String msg) {
            this.msg = msg;
        }
