I'm starting to work with Retrofit but I'm stuck on this simple step. I have a login form and I'm trying to authenticate with the server but I just can't send the request.
This is what I've tried:
My Retrofit client:
private static OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
private static Retrofit.Builder builder =
new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(API_BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create());
public static <S> S createService(Class<S> serviceClass) {
Retrofit retrofit = builder.client(httpClient.build()).build();
return retrofit.create(serviceClass);
}
My login interface:
public interface Login {
@POST(LOGIN)
Call<String> loginWithCredentials(@Body LoginCredentials data);
}
The LoginCredentials class:
public class LoginCredentials {
private String name;
private String pass;
public LoginCredentials(String name, String pass) {
this.name = name;
this.pass = pass;
}
}
And the part where I call it:
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
showProgress(true);
String username = userField.getText().toString();
String password = passField.getText().toString();
ApiController.Login loginClient = ApiController.createService(ApiController.Login.class);
Call<String> call =loginClient.loginWithCredentials(new LoginCredentials(username, password));
call.enqueue(new Callback<String>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(Call<String> call, Response<String> response) {
handleResponse(response.body());
}
@Override
public void onFailure(Call<String> call, Throwable t) {
showProgress(false);
Log.e(TAG, t.getLocalizedMessage());
}
});
}
And I keep getting the error Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 1 column 1 path $
but I have no idea what it means.
I figured it out. It was easier than I thought. You can skip the parsing that Retrofit
does by setting the response type of the method as ResponseBody
. Them you just need to read the response and use the string()
method that provides. That's it!
Example:
public interface Login {
@POST(LOGIN)
Call<ResponseBody> loginWithCredentials(@Body LoginCredentials data);
}
Then use like this:
String username = userField.getText().toString();
String password = passField.getText().toString();
ApiController.Login loginClient = ApiController.createService(ApiController.Login.class);
Call<ResponseBody> call = loginClient.loginWithCredentials(new LoginCredentials(username, password));
call.enqueue(new Callback<ResponseBody>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(Call<ResponseBody> call, Response<ResponseBody> response) {
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
try {
// get String from response
String stringResponse = response.body().string();
// Do whatever you want with the String
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
@Override
public void onFailure(Call<ResponseBody> call, Throwable t) {
// handle error
}
});
