I can't seem to figure out how to get android annotations rest client to work I'm having 2 main issues.
A)How to parse the generic json response and get the meaningful key
B)How to add parameters
For the first problem all responses come back as a json string fomatted like this
{"success":,"message":"","data":{}}
Where success is boolean message is a string and data is going to be the main data I want to parse that may be a boolean, an array, a string or an int
I'm pretty sure I need to intercept the response and handle the code but I'm not sure how to do that
Lets use a real response that look something like this
{"success":true,"message":"random message","data":{"profile":{"id":"44","user_id":"44","name":"Matt","username":"mitch","icon":"b1da7ae15027b7d6421c158d644f3220.png","med":"2a3df53fb39d1d8b5edbd0b93688fe4a.png","map":"b7bfed1f456ca4bc8ca748ba34ceeb47.png","background":null,"mobile_background":null}}
First in my interceptor I want to see if the boolean key "success" is true and then return the data value
@EBean
public class RestInterceptor implements ClientHttpRequestInterceptor {
final String TAG = "rest";
@Bean
AuthStore authStore;
@Override
public ClientHttpResponse intercept(HttpRequest request, byte[] data, ClientHttpRequestExecution execution)
throws IOException{
//Need to set the api key here but nothing happens code quits
// Log.d("Rest",authStore.getApiKey());
HttpHeaders headers = request.getHeaders();
headers.set("api_key","");
ClientHttpResponse resp = execution.execute(request, data);
HttpStatus code = resp.getStatusCode();
if(code.value() == 200){
Log.d(TAG,"success code 200");
//valid http request but is it a valid API request?
//perform some logic of if success == true in root json object
//if true cast return data key
}
else{
Log.d(TAG,"fail code" + code.toString());
}
return resp;
}
}
The second problem is sending params with the http request that have an api key and a session key, I define the application class like this
@EApplication
public class MyApp extends Application {
final String TAG = "app";
@Bean
AuthStore authStore;
@RestService
RestClient restClient;
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
init();
}
@AfterInject
public void init() {
authStore.setApiKey("dummy_key");
Log.d(TAG, "api key set to " + authStore.getApiKey());
}
}
With the AuthStore class like this
@EBean(scope = Scope.Singleton)
public class AuthStore {
public String apiKey,sessionKey;
public String getApiKey() {
return apiKey;
}
public void setApiKey(String apiKey) {
this.apiKey = apiKey;
}
public String getSessionKey() {
return sessionKey;
}
public void setSessionKey(String sessionKey) {
this.sessionKey = sessionKey;
}
}
Basically I'm setting a dummy api key at the application level in a singleton, which I should be able to access in the rest interceptor interface but the code just quits without errors I'm basically following this guide https://github.com/excilys/androidannotations/wiki/Authenticated-Rest-Client
Finally I have an activity class which injects the app dependency which has refrence to the rest http class and the authstore class
@EActivity(R.layout.activity_login)
public class LoginActivity extends Activity {
@App
MyApp app;
@ViewById
TextView email;
@ViewById
TextView password;
@ViewById
Button loginButton;
@AfterInject
public void init() {
Log.d(app.TAG, "api in login key set to " + app.authStore.getApiKey());
}
@Click
@Trace
void loginButton() {
login(email.toString(), password.toString());
}
@Background
void login(String email, String password) {
app.restClient.forceLogin();
}
}
Sorry if it's a lot of info, I've been searching for a while and can't figure this out!
thanks in advance
