Class Retrofit

java.lang.Object

retrofit2.Retrofit

public final class Retrofit
extends java.lang.Object

Retrofit adapts a Java interface to HTTP calls by using annotations on the declared methods to define how requests are made. Create instances using the builder and pass your interface to create(java.lang.Class<T>) to generate an implementation.

For example,

 Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
     .baseUrl("https://api.example.com/")
     .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
     .build();

 MyApi api = retrofit.create(MyApi.class);
 Response<User> user = api.getUser().execute();

Method Detail

create

public <T> T create(java.lang.Class<T> service)

Create an implementation of the API endpoints defined by the service interface.

The relative path for a given method is obtained from an annotation on the method describing the request type. The built-in methods are GET, PUT, POST, PATCH, HEAD, DELETE and OPTIONS. You can use a custom HTTP method with @HTTP. For a dynamic URL, omit the path on the annotation and annotate the first parameter with @Url.

Method parameters can be used to replace parts of the URL by annotating them with @Path. Replacement sections are denoted by an identifier surrounded by curly braces (e.g., "{foo}"). To add items to the query string of a URL use @Query.

The body of a request is denoted by the @Body annotation. The object will be converted to request representation by one of the Converter.Factory instances. A RequestBody can also be used for a raw representation.

Alternative request body formats are supported by method annotations and corresponding parameter annotations:

• @FormUrlEncoded - Form-encoded data with key-value pairs specified by the @Field parameter annotation.
• @Multipart - RFC 2388-compliant multipart data with parts specified by the @Part parameter annotation.

Additional static headers can be added for an endpoint using the @Headers method annotation. For per-request control over a header annotate a parameter with @Header.

By default, methods return a Call which represents the HTTP request. The generic parameter of the call is the response body type and will be converted by one of the Converter.Factory instances. ResponseBody can also be used for a raw representation. Void can be used if you do not care about the body contents.

For example:

 public interface CategoryService {
   @POST("category/{cat}/")
   Call<List<Item>> categoryList(@Path("cat") String a, @Query("page") int b);
 }
