Unable to create call adapter for io.reactivex.Observable


I'm going to send a simple get method to my server(it is Rails app) and get the result using RxJava and Retrofit. The thing that I did is:

My interface:

public interface ApiCall {
    String SERVICE_ENDPOINT = "https://198.50.214.15";
    @GET("/api/post")
    io.reactivex.Observable<Post> getPost();
}

My model is this:

public class Post
{
    @SerializedName("id")
    private String id;
    @SerializedName("body")
    private String body;
    @SerializedName("title")
    private String title;

    public String getId ()
    {
        return id;
    }


    public String getBody ()
    {
        return body;
    }


    public String getTitle ()
    {
        return title;
    }

}

And this is what I did in my activity:

public class Javax extends AppCompatActivity {
    RecyclerView rvListContainer;
    postAdapter postAdapter;
    List<String> messageList=new ArrayList<>();
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_javax);

        rvListContainer=(RecyclerView)findViewById(R.id.recyclerView);
        postAdapter=new postAdapter(messageList);

        rvListContainer.setAdapter(postAdapter);
    }
    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        Retrofit retrofit=new Retrofit.Builder()
                .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJavaCallAdapterFactory.create())
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .baseUrl("https://198.50.214.15")
                .build();
        ApiCall apiService=retrofit.create(ApiCall.class);

        Observable<Post> observable=apiService.getPost();

        observable.subscribeOn(Schedulers.newThread())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe(responseData -> {
                    messageList.add(responseData.getTitle());
                    postAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                });

    }
}

I don't know why I get this error which says I have problem with adapter. I also included the adapter into the gradle:

This is my Gradle dependency:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })

Solution

  • You need to tell Retrofit that you want to use RxJava 2, using:

    addCallAdapterFactory(RxJava2CallAdapterFactory.create())
    

    So, for creating your Retrofit object, you will have something like:

    Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
        .baseUrl(SERVICE_ENDPOINT)
        .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJava2CallAdapterFactory.create())
        .build();
