I have an android app that has 3 activities :
- A login activity
- A tasks acivity where all tasks pertaining to a user are displayed (Populated using an Array Adapter)
- A task_details activity which results from clicking a task on the list
I have to consume REST Apis. The research I have done so far directs me to use Retrofit. I checked how to use it and found out that :
- Set the base URL in the Main Activity (Mine is the Login Activity)
- I need to create a API class and define my functions using annotations.
- Use the class Rest Adapter in the Activity and define Callbacks.
Had my app been a single activity app, I would have crunched everything in my MainActivity.java but I don't know how and where to put all the code from steps 1,2,3 for use in my 3 activities.Could you please help by telling how to use Retrofit in my app. Thanks a lot.
Specifically, I need network calls to : 1. Login the user 2. Get all the tasks of the user. And for both I would be using a given REST api.
