How to use a specific query in Retrofit with Android?












0














I have an API interface which has two overloaded methods:



public interface Api {
@GET("movie/now_playing")
Call<ApiResponse> getMovies(@Query("page") int page);

@GET("search/movie")
Call<ApiResponse> getMovies(@Query("query") String query, @Query("page") int page);
}


First one is used to get now playing movies and the second one to search for movies.



In my MainActivity I use this code to display the data in a RecyclerView:



MovieViewModel movieViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(MovieViewModel.class);
MovieAdapter adapter = new MovieAdapter(this);
movieViewModel.moviePagedList.observe(this, adapter::submitList);
recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);


This is my MovieViewModel class:



public class MovieViewModel extends ViewModel {
LiveData<PagedList<ApiResponse.Movie>> moviePagedList;

public MovieViewModel() {
MovieDataSourceFactory movieDataSourceFactory = new MovieDataSourceFactory();
PagedList.Config config = new PagedList.Config.Builder().setEnablePlaceholders(false).setPageSize(20).build();
moviePagedList = new LivePagedListBuilder<>(movieDataSourceFactory, config).build();
}
}


And this my MovieDataSourceFactory class:



public class MovieDataSourceFactory extends DataSource.Factory<Integer, ApiResponse.Movie> {
private MutableLiveData<PageKeyedDataSource<Integer, ApiResponse.Movie>> movieLiveDataSource = new MutableLiveData<>();

@Override
public DataSource<Integer, ApiResponse.Movie> create() {
MovieDataSource movieDataSource = new MovieDataSource();
movieLiveDataSource.postValue(movieDataSource);
return movieDataSource;
}
}


And this is my MovieDataSource class:



public class MovieDataSource extends PageKeyedDataSource<Integer, ApiResponse.Movie> {
@Override
public void loadInitial(@NonNull LoadInitialParams<Integer> params, @NonNull LoadInitialCallback<Integer, ApiResponse.Movie> callback) {
Api api = RetrofitClient.getInstance().getApi();
Callback<ApiResponse> call = new Callback<ApiResponse>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(@NonNull Call<ApiResponse> call, @NonNull Response<ApiResponse> response) {
if(response.body() != null){
callback.onResult(response.body().movieList, null, page + 1);
}
}

@Override
public void onFailure(@NonNull Call<ApiResponse> call, @NonNull Throwable t) {}
};
api.getMovies(page).enqueue(call);
}

//loadBefore and loadAfter methods
}


If I run this code, everything works fine, the first query is invoked and I get the result correctly. The question is, how can I dynamically use one or the other?



api.getMovies(query, page).enqueue(call);

  • What do you mean dynamically use one or the other? Like, having a method that receives for example a @QueryMap and you just call it with an arbitrary number of query parameters?

  • You say you dynamically want to switch between either getMovies() right? There are multiple ways of doings this, one of them being using a boolean flag. Example: if (true) { api.getMovies(a,b,c) } else { api.getMovies(a,b) }. The issue with this is an if-statement mess. This can be solved by implementing a strategy pattern.

  • Thanks for your answer but I it doesn't work. I need this in realtime. Using those 4 lines it is displaying by default the result from the first query. Once I press a button, I want to display the result of the second query, ok? Cand you help me achieve this?

  • No, this not what I want. Let me explain again. I need that data in real-time. For example, now, in my MainActivity I use those 4 lines of code to display data in a RecyclerView, which works fine because is calling the method with one argument. Now I want at button click, to send a String to the api.getMovies("MyStringFromMaiNQActivity", page).enqueue(call); in order to use the second method. Am I clear now?

  • No, this not what I want. Let me explain again. I need that data in real-time. For example, now, in my MainActivity I use those 4 lines of code to display data in a RecyclerView, which works fine because is calling the method with one argument. Now I want at button click, to send a String to the api.getMovies("MyStringFromMaiNQActivity", page).enqueue(call); in order to use the second method. Am I clear now?

  • Let's see if I understand you correctly. Sometimes you want to call getMovies with 1 argument and on button click 2 arguments, right?

Thanks for your answer but I it doesn't work. I need this in realtime. Using those 4 lines it is displaying by default the result from the first query. Once I press a button, I want to display the result of the second query, ok? Cand you help me achieve this?

I need the first argument of the getMovies() method from the else part to be dynamically.
