Method Detail

client

public Retrofit.Builder client(okhttp3.OkHttpClient client)

The HTTP client used for requests.

This is a convenience method for calling callFactory.

callFactory

public Retrofit.Builder callFactory(okhttp3.Call.Factory factory)

Specify a custom call factory for creating Call instances.

Note: Calling client(okhttp3.OkHttpClient) automatically sets this value.

baseUrl

public Retrofit.Builder baseUrl(java.net.URL baseUrl)

Set the API base URL.

See Also:

baseUrl(HttpUrl)

baseUrl

public Retrofit.Builder baseUrl(java.lang.String baseUrl)

Set the API base URL.

See Also:

baseUrl(HttpUrl)

baseUrl

public Retrofit.Builder baseUrl(okhttp3.HttpUrl baseUrl)

Set the API base URL.

The specified endpoint values (such as with @GET) are resolved against this value using HttpUrl.resolve(String). The behavior of this matches that of an <a href=""> link on a website resolving on the current URL.

Base URLs should always end in /.

A trailing / ensures that endpoints values which are relative paths will correctly append themselves to a base which has path components.

Correct:
Base URL: http://example.com/api/
Endpoint: foo/bar/
Result: http://example.com/api/foo/bar/

Incorrect:
Base URL: http://example.com/api
Endpoint: foo/bar/
Result: http://example.com/foo/bar/

This method enforces that baseUrl has a trailing /.

Endpoint values which contain a leading / are absolute.

Absolute values retain only the host from baseUrl and ignore any specified path components.

Base URL: http://example.com/api/
Endpoint: /foo/bar/
Result: http://example.com/foo/bar/

Base URL: http://example.com/
Endpoint: /foo/bar/
Result: http://example.com/foo/bar/

Endpoint values may be a full URL.

Values which have a host replace the host of baseUrl and values also with a scheme replace the scheme of baseUrl.

Base URL: http://example.com/
Endpoint: https://github.com/square/retrofit/
Result: https://github.com/square/retrofit/

Base URL: http://example.com
Endpoint: //github.com/square/retrofit/
Result: http://github.com/square/retrofit/ (note the scheme stays 'http')

addConverterFactory

public Retrofit.Builder addConverterFactory(Converter.Factory factory)

Add converter factory for serialization and deserialization of objects.

addCallAdapterFactory

public Retrofit.Builder addCallAdapterFactory(CallAdapter.Factory factory)

Add a call adapter factory for supporting service method return types other than Call.

callbackExecutor

public Retrofit.Builder callbackExecutor(java.util.concurrent.Executor executor)

The executor on which Callback methods are invoked when returning Call from your service method.

Note: executor is not used for custom method return types.

callAdapterFactories

public java.util.List<CallAdapter.Factory> callAdapterFactories()

Returns a modifiable list of call adapter factories.

converterFactories

public java.util.List<Converter.Factory> converterFactories()

Returns a modifiable list of converter factories.

validateEagerly

public Retrofit.Builder validateEagerly(boolean validateEagerly)

When calling Retrofit.create(java.lang.Class<T>) on the resulting Retrofit instance, eagerly validate the configuration of all methods in the supplied interface.

build

public Retrofit build()

Create the Retrofit instance using the configured values.

Note: If neither client(okhttp3.OkHttpClient) nor callFactory is called a default OkHttpClient will be created and used.
