Retrofit how to use colon in url?

I am developing an Android app using Google Photo API.

I am trying to upload an image file into the Google Photo Server using below API.

https://developers.google.com/photos/library/reference/rest/v1/mediaItems/batchCreate

According to the document, I should use below URL to upload an image file.

POST https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/mediaItems:batchCreate

So I write the code using the retrofit.

@Headers("Content-type: application/json")
@POST("mediaItems:batchCreate") // The point is here
fun batchCreate(@Header("Authorization") authorization: String, @Body batchCreateRequest: BatchCreateRequest): Observable<BatchCreateResponse>

When I run it, IllegalArgumentException occurred.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Malformed URL. Base: https://photoslibrary.googleapis.com/v1/, Relative: mediaItems:batchCreate

What can I do solve this problem?

Solution

  • Try using @POST("./mediaItems:batchCreate") instead of @POST("mediaItems:batchCreate")
