Retrofit Returning Null Response Body

Question

I am trying to make a call to the FlickR API and am having difficulty as the response.body() is returning null.

I am not sure if it relates to my JSON/POJO mapping, but I cannot figure out how to access the response from Retrofit when I make the call to FlickR. I know that my call is being completed successfully as I am actually able to view the JSON through the logging interceptor.

Model:

public class Model {

Photos photos;
int code;
String stat;
String message; // when you text = null

public class Photos {

Answer 1

Based on my previous answer here your model is not correct your stat: "ok" at the end of Response is your mistake.

While you create a Photos Object you need a parent Model to keep both attribute (photos & stat)

So your model would be:

public class Model {

    Photos photos;
    int code;
    String stat;
    String message; // when you text = null


    public class Photos{
        int page;
        int pages;
        int perpage;
        int total;
        List<Photo> photo;



        public class Photo{
            String id;
            String owner;
            String secret;
            //rest of things

        }
    }
}

Also don't forget to change your Call<Photos> to Call<Model>.
