49 Retrofit vs. OkHttp The reason is simple: OkHttp is a pure HTTP/SPDY client responsible for any low-level network operation, caching, request and response manipulation, and many more. In contrast, Retrofit is a high-level REST abstraction build on top of OkHttp. Retrofit 2 is strongly coupled with OkHttp and makes intensive use of it.
Add Logging to Retrofit 2 While developing your app and for debugging purposes it’s nice to have a log feature integrated to show request and response information.
Update: There are plenty of very good changes in Retrofit 2.0.0-beta2 version 1.6 of Retrofit with OkHttp 2.0 is now dependent on Okio to support java.io and java.nio which makes it much easier to access, store and process your data using ByteString and Buffer to do some clever things to save CPU and memory.
I want to get string json from my api using retrofit 2, I have no problem when using retrofit 1 to get this json but using retrofit 2 returns null for me. This is what my json looks like {"id":1,"
However, in my app, the URL of my webservices are not known at compile time, the app retrieves them in a downloaded file so i'm wondering how i can use Retrofit 2 with full dynamic URL.
That's all of the Logging trick ;) And I would like to share you with the tutorial I learned a lot there. They have a bunch of great post talking about almost everything related to Retrofit, and they are continuing updating the post, at the same time Retrofit 2.0 is coming. Please take a look at those work, which I think will save you lots of time.
2 Go to File ⇒ New Project. When it prompts you to select the default activity, select Empty Activity and proceed. Open build.gradle in (Module :app) and add Retrofit, Picasso, RecyclerView, Gson dependencies like this.
I am using Retrofit/OkHttp (1.6) in my Android project. I don't find any request retry mechanism built-in to either of them. On searching more, I read OkHttp seems to have silent-retries. I don't...
For some WebRequests, I must call the same API but on others, I must call it from a completely different BaseUrl. How do I change the Retrofit instance to therefore point to a different URL during runtime? The Retrofit instance doesn't have a .setBaseUrl or setter or anything similar as it's built via a Builder. Any ideas?
