RetroFit interface method arguments

Question

I am using RetroFit for the first time, so it is confusing me. I am trying to pass a JSON object to the server via POST. However I don't know how can make the model classes and the methods for the retrofit library. My JSON looks like this:

{
  "Header": {
    "UserDetails": "sample string 1",
    "ClientCode": "sample string 2",
    "Password": "sample string 3",
    "ViewType": 0,

  },
  "MemberDetails": {
    "Username": "sample string 1",
    "Password": "sample string 2",
    "MemberNo": "sample string 3",
    "MobileNo": "sample string 4"
  }
}

I have generate 2 model classes: Header and MemberDetails

The Interface class is like this:

public interface MyServerAPI {
    @POST("users/memberlogin")
    Call<> login(@Body WHAT_OBJECT_TO_PASS_HERE?);
}

I don't know whether to pass both Header and MemberDetails object or put them in a ArrayList and pass that to the login().

Just create another class that has Header and MemberDetails class inside. — onur taskin, Feb 25 '16 at 08:41

The Interface class can be like this

    public interface MyServerAPI {
      @FormUrlEncoded
      @POST("users/memberlogin")
        Call<MyResponse> login(@Field("my_object") String myObject);
    }

Then you can pass your object as a json string like this

String jsonString=new Gson().toJson(obj);
Call<MyResponse> myResponse = myGithubApi.login(jsonString);

@user2498079 try this – Darish Feb 25 '16 at 08:48
how can I see the json (converted from Models to JSON raw by GSON) being sent to the server? – user2498079 Feb 25 '16 at 09:52
try to echo "my_object" at the server side – Darish Feb 25 '16 at 09:59
I don't control the server side. Anyways, I have enabled debugging on android app and it shows that the complete JSON isn't being sent to the server. Most of the fields in the model classes are missing in the json that is being sent to the server – user2498079 Feb 25 '16 at 10:27
