Getting null data on response body using retrofit2?


I am new to retrofit 2 and i am trying to get json array data but getting null, this is the url for getting the data.

But the funny thing is when i try to debug inside onResponse i am getting success message as well as response.body data. What is the problem here?

https://xenzet.com/GameCheat/viewgamesjson.php

this is json data

[
    {
        "gameid":"2",
        "gameIcon":"https:\/\/xenzet.com\/GameCheat\/uploads\/counter strike 1.6.png",
        "Games_Name":"1"
    },
    {
        "gameid":"3",
        "gameIcon":"https:\/\/xenzet.com\/GameCheat\/uploads\/gta.ico",
        "Games_Name":"vice city sucjlfsdrgefdsrhag"
    },
    {
        "gameid":"4",
        "gameIcon":"https:\/\/xenzet.com\/GameCheat\/uploads\/pubg.png",
        "Games_Name":"pubg"
    },
    {
    "gameid":"5",
    "gameIcon":"https:\/\/xenzet.com\/GameCheat\/uploads\/doom.png",
    "Games_Name":"Doom Enternal"
    },
    {
    "gameid":"6",
    "gameIcon":"https:\/\/xenzet.com\/GameCheat\/uploads\/for.png",
    "Games_Name":"Fornite"
    },
    {
    "gameid":"9",
    "gameIcon":"https:\/\/xenzet.com\/GameCheat\/uploads\/dota2.png",
    "Games_Name":"dota2"
    }
]

this is the method which is trying to get data

 public void fetch_information() {

        ApiInterface = ApiClient.getApiClient().create(Api.class);

        Call<List<Games>> call = ApiInterface.GetGames();


        call.enqueue(new Callback<List<Games>>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<List<Games>> call, Response<List<Games>> response) {
                if(response.isSuccessful()) {

                    gameslist = response.body();
                    gamescounter = gameslist.size();
                    adapter = new GameRecyclerViewAdapter(GamesActivity.this, gameslist);
                    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
                }
            }


            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<List<Games>> call, Throwable t) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), t.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });

    }

this is ApiClient

public class ApiClient {

    public static  String Base_URL ;

    public static Retrofit retrofit;

    public static Retrofit getApiClient()
    {
        if (retrofit == null)
        {
            Base_URL ="https://xenzet.com/GameCheat/";
            retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl(Base_URL)
                    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()).build();

        }
        return retrofit;
    }
}

and Api

public interface Api {

    @GET("viewgamesjson.php")
    Call<List<Games>> GetGames();
}

and in OnCreate i am calling fetch information method.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_games);
    gameslist = new ArrayList<Games>();
    RecyclerView recyclerView = findViewById(R.id.recyclerview_gameslist);
    recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
     fetch_information();

    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"" +gamescounter, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    adapter = new GameRecyclerViewAdapter(this, gameslist);

   recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
    adapter.setClickListener((GameRecyclerViewAdapter.ItemClickListener) this);
}

trying to fill data of game list in recycler view but fails as it null.

this is logcat

This is class Games

public class Games {

    @SerializedName("gameid")
    @Expose
    private String gameid;
    @SerializedName("gameIcon")
    @Expose
    private String gameIcon;
    @SerializedName("Games_Name")
    @Expose
    private String gamesName;

    public String getGameid() {
        return gameid;
    }

    public void setGameid(String gameid) {
        this.gameid = gameid;
    }

    public String getGameIcon() {
        return gameIcon;
    }

    public void setGameIcon(String gameIcon) {
        this.gameIcon = gameIcon;
    }

    public String getGamesName() {
        return gamesName;
    }

    public void setGamesName(String gamesName) {
        this.gamesName = gamesName;
    }

//    public Games(String Gameid,String Gameicon,String GameName)
//    {
//      this.gameid = Gameid;
//      this.gameIcon = Gameicon;
//      this.gamesName = GameName;
//
//    }

}

This is recycler view

class GameRecyclerViewAdapter extends RecyclerView.Adapter<GameRecyclerViewAdapter.ViewHolder> {

    private List<Games> mGames;
    private LayoutInflater mInflater;
    private ItemClickListener mClickListener;

    // data is passed into the constructor
    GameRecyclerViewAdapter(Context context, List<Games> games) {
        this.mInflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
        this.mGames = games;
    }

    // inflates the row layout from xml when needed
    @Override
    public ViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(ViewGroup parent, int viewType) {
        View view = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.gameitem, parent, false);
        return new ViewHolder(view);
    }



    // binds the data to the TextView in each row
    @Override
    public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {
        Games Game = mGames.get(position);
        String Gameid = Game.getGameid();
        String Gameicon = Game.getGameIcon();
        String Gamename = Game.getGamesName();
        holder.GameNameTxt.setText(Gamename);
        Glide.with(holder.GameIconImage.getContext()).load(Game.getGameIcon()).thumbnail(0.1f).
                placeholder(R.color.colorPrimary).diskCacheStrategy(DiskCacheStrategy.NONE).into(holder.GameIconImage);

    }

    // total number of rows
    @Override
    public int getItemCount() {


        return mGames == null ? 0 : mGames.size();

    }


    // stores and recycles views as they are scrolled off screen
    public class ViewHolder extends RecyclerView.ViewHolder implements View.OnClickListener {
        TextView GameNameTxt;
        ImageView GameIconImage;
        ViewHolder(View itemView) {
            super(itemView);
            GameNameTxt = itemView.findViewById(R.id.gamename);
            GameIconImage = itemView.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
            itemView.setOnClickListener(this);
        }

        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            if (mClickListener != null) mClickListener.onItemClick(view, getAdapterPosition());
        }
    }


    // allows clicks events to be caught
    void setClickListener(ItemClickListener itemClickListener) {
        this.mClickListener = itemClickListener;
    }

    // parent activity will implement this method to respond to click events
    public interface ItemClickListener {
        void onItemClick(View view, int position);

    }
}

Solution

  • Add data in your Adapter in side onResponse Method

    add fetch_information() in oncreate

    @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<List<Games>> call, Response<List<Games>> response) {
                if(response.isSuccessful()) {
                    gameslist = response.body();
                    adapter = new GameRecyclerViewAdapter(MainActivity.this, gameslist); 
                    //change your Activity name here insted of MainActivity
                    recyclerView.setAdapter(adapter);
                }
            }
