I see 2 options here:
- Use dagger as it is intended. Create for every
baseUrl
their own Retrofit
client, or
- Use an interceptor to modify the request before sending it
Dagger approach
If you were to brute force urls, this would probably not be the right choice, since it relies on creating a new Retrofit
instance for each.
Now every time the url changes, you just recreate the following demonstrated UrlComponent
by supplying it with a new UrlModule
.
Clean up
Clean your @Singleton
module, so that it provides GsonConverterFactory
, and RxJavaCallAdapterFactory
to make proper use of dagger and not recreate shared objects.
@Module
public class SingletonModule {
@Provides
@Singleton
GsonConverterFactory provideOkHttpClient() {/**/}
@Provides
@Singleton
RxJavaCallAdapterFactory provideOkHttpClient() {/**/}
}
@Singleton
@Component(modules = SingletonModule.class)
interface SingletonComponent {
// sub component
UrlComponent plus(UrlModule component);
}
Url Scoped
Introduce a @UrlScope
to scope your Retrofit
instances.
@Scope
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface UrlScope {
}
Then create a subcomponent
@SubComponent(modules=UrlModule.class)
public interface UrlComponent {}
And a module for it
@Module
class UrlModule {
private final String mUrl;
UrlModule(String url) { mUrl = url; }
@Provides
String provideUrl() {
return mUrl;
}
@Provides
@UrlScope
OkHttpClient provideOkHttpClient(String url) {
return new OkHttpClient.Builder().build();
}
@Provides
@UrlScope
Retrofit provideRetrofit(OkHttpClient client) {
return new Retrofit.Builder().build();
}
}
Use scoped Retrofit
Instantiate the component and use it.
class Dagger {
public void demo() {
UrlModule module = new UrlModule(/*some url*/);
SingletonComponent singletonComponent = DaggerSingletonComponent.create();
UrlComponent urlComponent = singletonComponent.plus(module);
urlComponent.getRetrofit(); // done.
}
}
OkHttp approach
Provide a properly scoped interceptor (@Singleton
in this case) and implement the corresponding logic.
@Module
class SingletonModule {
@Provides
@Singleton
GsonConverterFactory provideGsonConverter() { /**/ }
@Provides
@Singleton
RxJavaCallAdapterFactory provideRxJavaCallAdapter() { /**/ }
@Provides
@Singleton
MyApiInterceptor provideMyApiInterceptor() { /**/ }
@Provides
@Singleton
OkHttpClient provideOkHttpClient(MyApiInterceptor interceptor) {
return new OkHttpClient.Builder().build();
}
@Provides
@Singleton
Retrofit provideRetrofit(OkHttpClient client) {
return new Retrofit.Builder().build();
}
}
@Singleton
@Component(modules = SingletonModule.class)
interface SingletonComponent {
Retrofit getRetrofit();
MyApiInterceptor getInterceptor();
}
todo Implement the MyApiInterceptor
. You will need to have a setter for the base url, and then just rewrite / modify the requests coming through.
Then, again, just go ahead and use it.
class Dagger {
public void demo() {
SingletonComponent singletonComponent = DaggerSingletonComponent.create();
MyService service = singletonComponent.getRetrofit().create(MyService.class);
MyApiInterceptor interceptor = singletonComponent.getInterceptor();
interceptor.setBaseUrl(myUrlA);
service.doA();
interceptor.setBaseUrl(someOtherUrl);
service.doB();
}
}
As a third approach, you could also use reflection to just directly change base the base URL—I added this last just for completeness.
