How to catch the Exception in Retrofit android

Question

I have defined the classes as below.
I have used dagger with Retrofit here

What I am trying to do::

I am trying to catch the OfflineException in the request below how to catch it in Main Activity properly.

RequestInterceptor.java

public class RequestInterceptor implements Interceptor {

    ConnectivityManager connectivityManager;
    Application mApplication;

    @Inject
    public RequestInterceptor(Application mApplication) {
        this.mApplication = mApplication;
        connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) mApplication.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    }

    @Override
    public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
        if (isConnected()) {
            throw new OfflineException();
        }

        Request.Builder r = chain.request().newBuilder();
        return chain.proceed(r.build());
    }

    protected boolean isConnected() {
        NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();
        return networkInfo != null && networkInfo.isConnectedOrConnecting();
    }

    public class OfflineException extends IOException {

        @Override
        public String getMessage() {
            return mApplication.getResources().getString(R.string.app_no_connectivity);
        }

    }

}

NetModule.java

import android.app.Application;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.preference.PreferenceManager;

import com.google.gson.FieldNamingPolicy;
import com.google.gson.Gson;

@Module
public class NetModule {

    String mBaseUrl;
    Application mApplication;

    // Constructor needs one parameter to instantiate.
    public NetModule(String baseUrl, Application application) {
        this.mBaseUrl = baseUrl;
        this.mApplication = application;
    }

    // Dagger will only look for methods annotated with @Provides
    @Provides
    @Singleton
    // Application reference must come from AppModule.class
    SharedPreferences providesSharedPreferences(Application application) {
        return PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(application);
    }

    @Provides

    Application providesApplication() {
        return mApplication;
    }

    @Provides

    Cache provideOkHttpCache(Application application) {
        int cacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MiB
        Cache cache = new Cache(application.getCacheDir(), cacheSize);
        return cache;
    }

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    Gson provideGson() {
        GsonBuilder gsonBuilder = new GsonBuilder();
        gsonBuilder.setFieldNamingPolicy(FieldNamingPolicy.LOWER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES);
        return gsonBuilder.create();
    }

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    OkHttpClient provideOkHttpClient(Cache cache) {
        OkHttpClient.Builder client = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
        client.cache(cache);
        client.addInterceptor(new  RequestInterceptor(mApplication));
        client.readTimeout(LinksAndKeys.READ_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        client.connectTimeout(LinksAndKeys.CONNECTION_TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        return client.build();
    }

    @Provides
    @Singleton
    Retrofit provideRetrofit(Gson gson, OkHttpClient okHttpClient) {
        Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(gson))
                .baseUrl(mBaseUrl)
                .client(okHttpClient)
                .build();
        return retrofit;
    }
}

MainActivity.java

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Inject
    Retrofit retrofit;
    TextView textView;


    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ((App) getApplication()).getNetComponent().inject(this);

        //Create textview and findViewByID
        textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textview_post);
        //Create a retrofit call object
        Call<List<Post>> posts = retrofit.create(Restapi.class).getPosts();

        //Enque the call
        posts.enqueue(new Callback<List<Post>>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<List<Post>> call, Response<List<Post>> response) {
               //Set the response to the textview
                textView.setText(response.body().get(0).getBody());

            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<List<Post>> call, Throwable t) {
                //Set the error to the textview
                textView.setText(t.toString());
            }
        });
    }
}

As I know, there is no internet connection the RetrofitError contains a ConnectionException as the cause.

public class RetrofitErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler {

    @Override
    public Throwable handleError(RetrofitError cause) {
        if (cause.isNetworkError()) {
            if (cause.getCause() instanceof SocketTimeoutException) {
                  /* your code here*/ 
                return new MyConnectionTimeoutException();
            } else {
                /* your code here*/
                return new MyNoConnectionException();
            }
        } else {
            //Do whatever you want to do if there is not a network error.  
        }
    }
}

Or you can create a custom Retrofit client that checks for connectivity before executing a request and throws an exception.

public class ConnectivityCheck implements Client {

    Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ConnectivityCheck.class);

    public ConnectivityCheck (Client wrappedClient, NetworkConnectivityManager ncm) {
        this.wrappedClient = wrappedClient;
        this.ncm = ncm;
    }

    Client wrappedClient;
    private NetworkConnectivityManager ncm;

    @Override
    public Response execute(Request request) throws IOException {
        if (!ncm.isConnected()) {
            log.debug("No connectivity %s ", request);
            throw new NoConnectivityException("No connectivity");
        }
        return wrappedClient.execute(request);
    }
}

and then use it when configuring RestAdapter

RestAdapter.Builder().setEndpoint(serverHost)
                     .setClient(new ConnectivityCheck(new OkHttpClient(), ...))

As far as I know, I don't think Retrofit supports 'connectivity checking in call time' and I don't think that is exactly what you want.

Try to check connectivity before your call, for example,

private void sendData() {
    if( isConnected ) {
          switch(call) {
               case "userSignIn":
                      Call !
                      break;
               ...
    }
}
