I have a requirement to get a request body and to perform some logic operations with Retrofit 2.0 before doing enque
operation. But unfortunately I am not able to get the post body content from my service call. At present after searching a lot I found only one solution like logging
the request
that I am posting using Retrofit 2.0 from this method by using HttpLoggingInterceptor
with OkHttpClient
. I am using the following code to log the request body in the Android Logcat:
HttpLoggingInterceptor logging = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
logging.setLevel(Level.BODY);
OkHttpClient httpClient = new OkHttpClient();
httpClient.interceptors().add(logging);
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(baseURL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build();
return retrofit.create(apiClass);
Problem I am facing with the above method:
02-04 01:35:59.235 5007-5035/com.example.retrofitdemo D/OkHttp:{"nameValuePairs":{"id":"1","name":"chandru","type":"user"}}
But the above method returns only response body in the logcat, I am not able to get it as either String
or JSONObject
. Eventhough if I could able to get the response body using HttpLoggingInterceptor
, my request body will be shown in the Logcat with the tag "OkHttp" all the time even after the application goes into the production (So primarily this leads like a kind of relieving the post data in the logcat).
My Requirement:
I need to get the request body as String
or JSONObject
or whatever method without reviling the post data in the Logcat.
What I tried:
I tried to fetch the request body even after onResponse
from Response<T> response
, but though I couldn't able to get it done possible. Please find the code that I am using for this purpose as follows:
Gson gson = new Gson();
String responseString = gson.toJson(response.raw().request().body());
Note: The above converted request body using gson.toJson
method returns only the meta data not the request post data.
Kindly help me with this by providing your valuable tips and solutions. I have no idea how to do this. I am completely stuck up with this for the past two days. Please forgive if my question is too lengthy. Your comments are always welcome. Do let me know if my requirement is not clear. Thanks in advance.
I have got it working from this link Retrofit2: Modifying request body in OkHttp Interceptor
private String bodyToString(final RequestBody request) {
try {
final RequestBody copy = request;
final Buffer buffer = new Buffer();
if (copy != null)
copy.writeTo(buffer);
else
return "";
return buffer.readUtf8();
} catch (final IOException e) {
return "did not work";
}
}
Retrofit dependencies i am using are

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.0-RC1'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.0.0-RC1'
