Retrofit + POST method + www-form-urlencoded

Question

I have a problem with retrofit. I'm pretty new to this library so any help would mean a lot to me. I'm trying to login from app to server made based on this tutorial (http://localhost/task_manager/v1/login), and get json with info about user in result.

MainActivity.java

private void requestData() {

    String email = "ch@ro.me";
    String password = "chrome11";
    //retrofit tworzenie polecenia
    RestAdapter adapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
      .setEndpoint(ENDPOINT)
      .build();

    //tworzenie api klasy flowers
    UsersAPI api = adapter.create(UsersAPI.class);


    api.login(email, password, new Callback < User > () {@
      Override
      public void failure(final RetrofitError error) {
        android.util.Log.i("example", "Error, body: " + error.getBody().toString());

      }@
      Override
      public void success(User user, Response response) {
        // Do something with the User object returned
        //Log.d("hello", response.toString());
      }
    });

UsersApi.java

public interface UsersAPI {

  //    @Headers({
  //        "content-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
  //    })
  @FormUrlEncoded
  @POST("/login")
  public void login(@Field("email") String email, @Field("password") String password,
    Callback < User > callback);
}

User.java

public class User {

  private String error;
  private String name;
  private String email;
  private String apiKey;
  private String createdAt;

  public String getError() {
    return error;
  }
  public void setError(String error) {
    this.error = error;
  }
  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }
  public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
  public String getEmail() {
    return email;
  }
  public void setEmail(String email) {
    this.email = email;
  }
  public String getApiKey() {
    return apiKey;
  }
  public void setApiKey(String apiKey) {
    this.apiKey = apiKey;
  }
  public String getCreatedAt() {
    return createdAt;
  }
  public void setCreatedAt(String createdAt) {
    this.createdAt = createdAt;
  }


}

The NullPoinerException is being thrown by this line:

error.getBody().toString()

I believe the RetrofitError you are getting back does not have a Body, so when you call getBody() on error you get null. Then calling toString() on it will raise the NPE.

Yep, it makes sense. Still it does mean that connections fails, any ideas why? – Kamajabu Apr 20 '15 at 02:21
The requests is failing, that is why `failure()` is being called. Look at the error object you get back and see what it says. – Emmanuel Apr 20 '15 at 02:23
Hah, understood that one (fail = fail ;P). java.io.EOFException. Trying OkHttp solution now. – Kamajabu Apr 20 '15 at 02:27
Yep! It did help :D Thx a lot :) If anyone got similar problem (EOF) solution is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24806797/bug-retrofit-retrofiterror-java-io-eofexception-for-android – Kamajabu Apr 20 '15 at 02:34
