Guess, I'm already baffled with what I'm doing, so I'm reaching out to the community.
I have the following:
UserModel
data class UserModel(
val id: String,
val name: String
){}
UserService
@Headers("Accept: application/json")
@POST("register")
fun doRegisterUserTest(
@Query("user_id") userName: String,
@Query("password") passWord: String
): Deferred<UserModel>
UserRepository
fun test(username: String, password: String): List<UserModel>{
Network.createNetworkRequest().create(UserService::class.java).doRegisterUserTest(username, password)
val x: UserService by lazy {Network.createNetworkRequest().create(UserService::class.java)}
val y = x.doRegisterUserTest(username, password)
return y
}
UserViewModel
private val _result = MutableLiveData<List<UserModel>>()
val result: LiveData<List<UserModel>> = _result
fun onRegister(username: String, password: String) {
viewModelScope.launch {
// connect to api server
//_registrationStatus.value = RegistrationStatus.LOADING
try {
_result.value = userRepository.test(username, password)
....
}
}
}
Network Client
private val moshi = Moshi.Builder()
.add(KotlinJsonAdapterFactory())
.build()
/**
* Main entry point for dto access. Call like `Network.devbytes.getPlaylist()`
*/
object Network {
fun createNetworkRequest(): Retrofit {
// Configure retrofit to parse JSON and use coroutines
val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("http://10.0.2.2:8081/api/")
.addConverterFactory(MoshiConverterFactory.create(moshi))
.addCallAdapterFactory(CoroutineCallAdapterFactory())
.build()
return retrofit
}
}
In my api, the above (in ideal scenario) will yield the following:
{
"user": [
{
"user_sys_id": 0,
"name": "Blah blah",
}
]
}
I want to read the values from _result.value = userRepository.test(username, password), I presume that test function will return a List> but I don't know how to access the members.
How can I check _result for the values of user_sys_id and name?
How come I'm getting the following (if I convert the response straight to a List)
Unable to create call adapter for Xmodel for method UserService.doRegisterUserTest
Am I missing something? Likewise, is it fine to do a Retrofit Call if you were already using Coroutines?
From this Unable to create call adapter for retrofit2.Response<...>, it seems that the function should be suspended, but if I do that I would get a warning
Redundant suspend modifier
PS. Although, if I follow repository pattern, I'm able to see that results where written on a local database the values retrieved from the API, however, I don't think that is correct to store data that aren't supposed to be stored in the first place, say for eg. in a Registration, if the registration fails you just want to read the error message directly from the response
