Retrofit Adapters
Sandwich
If you're interested in a more specified and lightweight Monad sealed API library for modeling Retrofit responses and handling exceptions, check out Sandwich.
Kotlin's Result
This library allows you to model your Retrofit responses with Kotlin's Result class.
Add the dependency below to your module's build.gradle file:
dependencies {
implementation "com.github.skydoves:retrofit-adapters-result:1.0.6"
}ResultCallAdapterFactory
You can return Kotlin's Result class to the Retrofit's service methods by setting ResultCallAdapterFactory like the below:
val retrofit: Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("BASE_URL")
.addConverterFactory(..)
.addCallAdapterFactory(ResultCallAdapterFactory.create())
.build()Then you can return the Result class with the suspend keyword.
interface PokemonService {
@GET("pokemon")
suspend fun fetchPokemonList(
@Query("limit") limit: Int = 20,
@Query("offset") offset: Int = 0
): Result<PokemonResponse>
}Finally, you will get the network response, which is wrapped by the Result class like the below:
viewModelScope.launch {
val result = pokemonService.fetchPokemonList()
if (result.isSuccess) {
val data = result.getOrNull()
// handle data
} else {
// handle error case
}
}Empty Content Response
You can confine the response type as Unit when you need to handle empty body (content) API requests like the below:
@POST("/users/info")
suspend fun updateUserInfo(@Body userRequest: UserRequest): Result<Unit>Unit Tests by Injecting TestScope
You can also inject your custom CoroutineScope into the ResultCallAdapterFactory and execute network requests on the scope.
val testDispatcher: TestDispatcher = UnconfinedTestDispatcher()
val testScope = TestScope(testDispatcher)
val retrofit: Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("BASE_URL")
.addConverterFactory(..)
.addCallAdapterFactory(ResultCallAdapterFactory.create(testScope))
.build()Note: For more information about the Testing coroutines, check out the Testing Kotlin coroutines on Android.
Jetpack's Paging
This library allows you to return the paging source, which is parts of the Jetpack's Paging library.
Add the dependency below to your module's build.gradle file:
dependencies {
implementation "com.github.skydoves:retrofit-adapters-paging:<version>"
}PagingCallAdapterFactory
You can return Jetpack's PagingSource class to the Retrofit's service methods by setting PagingCallAdapterFactory like the below:
val retrofit: Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("BASE_URL")
.addConverterFactory(..)
.addCallAdapterFactory(PagingCallAdapterFactory.create())
.build()Then you can return the NetworkPagingSource class with the @PagingKeyConfig and @PagingKey annotations:
interface PokemonService {
@GET("pokemon")
@PagingKeyConfig(
keySize = 20,
mapper = PokemonPagingMapper::class
)
suspend fun fetchPokemonListAsPagingSource(
@Query("limit") limit: Int = 20,
@PagingKey @Query("offset") offset: Int = 0,
): NetworkPagingSource<PokemonResponse, Pokemon>
}PagingKeyConfig and PagingKey
To return the NetworkPagingSource class, you must attach the @PagingKeyConfig and @PagingKey annotations to your Retrofit's service methods.
- @PagingKeyConfig: Contains paging configurations for the network request and delivery them to the call adapter internally. You should set the
keySizeandmapperparameters. - @PagingKey: Marks the parameter in the service interface method as the paging key. This parameter will be paged by incrementing the page values continuously.
PagingMapper
You should create a paging mapper class, which extends the PagingMapper<T, R> interface like the below for transforming the original network response to the list of paging items. This class should be used in the @PagingKeyConfig annotation.
class PokemonPagingMapper : PagingMapper<PokemonResponse, Pokemon> {
override fun map(value: PokemonResponse): List<Pokemon> {
return value.results
}
}You will get the network response, which is wrapped by the NetworkPagingSource class like the below:
viewModelScope.launch {
val pagingSource = pokemonService.fetchPokemonListAsPagingSource()
val pagerFlow = Pager(PagingConfig(pageSize = 20)) { pagingSource }.flow
stateFlow.emitAll(pagerFlow)
}Finally, you should call the submitData method by your PagingDataAdapter to bind the paging data. If you want to learn more about the Jetpack's Paging, check out the Paging library.
Arrow's Either
This library allows you to model your Retrofit responses with arrow-kt's Either class.
Add the dependency below to your module's build.gradle file:
dependencies {
implementation "com.github.skydoves:retrofit-adapters-arrow:<version>"
}EitherCallAdapterFactory
You can return Arrow's Either class to the Retrofit's service methods by setting EitherCallAdapterFactory like the below:
val retrofit: Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("BASE_URL")
.addConverterFactory(..)
.addCallAdapterFactory(EitherCallAdapterFactory.create())
.build()Then you can return the Either class with the suspend keyword.
interface PokemonService {
@GET("pokemon")
suspend fun fetchPokemonListAsEither(
@Query("limit") limit: Int = 20,
@Query("offset") offset: Int = 0
): Either<Throwable, PokemonResponse>
}Finally, you will get the network response, which is wrapped by the Either class like the below:
viewModelScope.launch {
val either = pokemonService.fetchPokemonListAsEither()
if (either.isRight()) {
val data = either.orNull()
// handle data
} else {
// handle error case
}
}Empty Content Response
You can confine the response type as Unit when you need to handle empty body (content) API requests like the below:
@POST("/users/info")
suspend fun updateUserInfo(@Body userRequest: UserRequest): Either<Throwable, Unit>Unit Tests by Injecting TestScope
You can also inject your custom CoroutineScope into the EitherCallAdapterFactory and execute network requests on the scope.
val testDispatcher: TestDispatcher = UnconfinedTestDispatcher()
val testScope = TestScope(testDispatcher)
val retrofit: Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("BASE_URL")
.addConverterFactory(..)
.addCallAdapterFactory(EitherCallAdapterFactory.create(testScope))
.build()Note: For more information about the Testing coroutines, check out the Testing Kotlin coroutines on Android.
Kotlin Serialization
This library allows you to deserialize your error body of the Retrofit response as your custom error class with Kotlin's Serialization.
For more information about setting up the plugin and dependency, check out Kotlin's Serialization.
Add the dependency below to your module's build.gradle file:
dependencies {
implementation "com.github.skydoves:retrofit-adapters-serialization:<version>"
}Deserialize Error Body
You can deserialize your error body with the deserializeHttpError extension and your custom error class. First, define your custom error class following your RESTful API formats as seen in the below:
@Serializable
public data class ErrorMessage(
val code: Int,
val message: String
)Next, gets the result of the error class to the throwable instance with the deserializeHttpError extension like the below:
val result = pokemonService.fetchPokemonList()
result.onSuccessSuspend {
Timber.d("fetched as Result: $it")
}.onFailureSuspend { throwable ->
val errorBody = throwable.deserializeHttpError<ErrorMessage>()
