How to send Form data in retrofit2 android

Question

Hi i have a json to send to the server (POST METHORD){"country":"india","devicetype":"android"} it is in form data model like the key for this json is data ie is the server accept it like

data={"country":"india","devicetype":"android"} am using retrofit i use Multipart like this

@Multipart
@POST("initiate")
@Headers({
        "Content-Type: application/json",
        "Cache-Control: no-cache"
})
Call<UserInfoServerResponse> getUserInfoRequest(@Part(value="data") UserInfo mUserInfo);

here UserInfo is the json but am getting fail message from server after that i used FormUrlEncoded methord

 @FormUrlEncoded
@POST("initiate")
@Headers({
        "Content-Type: application/json",
        "Cache-Control: no-cache"
})
Call<UserInfoServerResponse> getUserInfoRequest(@Field(value="data",encoded = false) String mUserInfo);

its out put is also same failure result from server, but the data sending to the server is in the formate

data=%7B%22country%22%3A%22india%22%2C%22devicetype%22%3A%22%22%7D

My UserInfo.class

public class UserInfo {


public String country;

public String devicetype;

public UserInfo( String country,String devicetype) {

    this.country=country;

    this.devicetype=devicetype;
}
}

My adaptor class

RemoteRetrofitInterfaces mService;
    Retrofit mRetrofit;
  HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
        interceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);

        OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
                .connectTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .writeTimeout(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .readTimeout(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS).addInterceptor(interceptor)
                .build();

        mRetrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(AppConstant.HOST).addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .client(client)
                .build();
        mService = mRetrofit.create(RemoteRetrofitInterfaces.class);

   Call<UserInfoServerResponse> api = mService.getUserInfoRequest(new Gson().toJson(mUserInfo));

        api.enqueue(new Callback<UserInfoServerResponse>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<UserInfoServerResponse> responseCall, Response<UserInfoServerResponse> response) {

                if (response.body().status != null) {
                    if (response.body().status.equals("success")) {
                        Log.d(TAG, "success---");
                    }

                } else {
                    Log.d(TAG, "Failed---");

                }


            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<UserInfoServerResponse> responseCall, Throwable t) {
                t.printStackTrace();
            }


        });

so how can i send the json to server using retrofit successfully i gone through the retofit document and follow couple of steps but i dont get any result. can any one help me in this

Thank you

Answer 1

finally i found the solution hope this will help some other

i achieve the solution by using FieldMap

of retrofit.

@POST("initiate")
@FormUrlEncoded

Call<UserInfoServerResponse> getUserInfoRequest(@FieldMap Map<String,String> params);

and in the Rest Adaptor section i changed request data from string to Hashmap form like following

Log.d(TAG, "sendUserInfo called");
UserInfo mInfo = new UserInfo("countyname","android");
String request = new Gson().toJson(mUserInfo);

// Here the json data is add to a hash map with key data
Map<String,String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("data", request);


Call<UserInfoServerResponse> api = mService.getUserInfoRequest(params);

api.enqueue(new Callback<UserInfoServerResponse>() {
    @Override
    public void onResponse(Call<UserInfoServerResponse> responseCall, Response<UserInfoServerResponse> response) {

        if (response.body().status != null) {
            if (response.body().status.equals("success")) {
                Log.d(TAG, "success---" + response.body());
            }
        } else {
            Log.d(TAG, "Failed---");
        }

    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Call<UserInfoServerResponse> responseCall, Throwable t) {
        t.printStackTrace();
    }

});

Basilcally what I used @FormUrlEncoded for form data and @FieldMap to put my request JSON as a key value. i got solution by following this method, hope this will help some one :)
