I am using Google Books API to display a list of various books by searching for terms, queries....
So far everything is working as it is supposed to be, one problem though, I need to get a book by it's id, I believe the problem is with my BookResponse
class
UPDATE I figured I should add a Serialized id in BookItems
class but I don't know where to go from there
PS. below you will find every class and a an image attached to display the JSON structure
Search in MainActivity
ApiInterface apiService =
RetrofitInstance.getRetrofitInstance().create(ApiInterface.class);
retrofit2.Call<BookResponce> call = apiService.getBooksById("zyTCAlFPjgYC", BOOKS_API_KEY);
call.enqueue(new Callback<BookResponce>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(retrofit2.Call<BookResponce> call, Response<BookResponce> response) {
bookResp = response.body();
for (int i = 0; i == 0; i++){
bookList.add(i, bookResp.getBooks().get(i).getBookData());
}
cAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
@Override
public void onFailure(retrofit2.Call<BookResponce> call, Throwable t) {
Toast.makeText(this, "failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
BookResponse class
public class BookResponce {
@SerializedName(value="items")
ArrayList<BookItems> bookItems;
@SerializedName(value="totalItems")
int totalItems;
public int getTotalItems() { return totalItems; }
public ArrayList<BookItems> getBooks() { return bookItems; }
}
BookItems class
public class BookItems {
//This is what I added
@SerializedName(value = "id")
String id;
@SerializedName(value="volumeInfo")
Book bookData;
//and this...
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public Book getBookData(){return bookData; }
}
API Interface class
public interface ApiInterface {
@GET("volumes/{id}")
Call<BookResponce> getBooksById(@Path("id") String bookId,
@Query("API_KEY") String apiKey);
@GET("volumes")
Call<BookResponce> getBooksByQuery(@Query("q") String query,
@Query("API_KEY") String apiKey, @Query("maxResults") int maxResults);
}
when ever you're performing a search, after adding items in your bookList
just add:
bookList.get(i).setBookId(bookResp.getBooks().get(i).getId());
Here's the full example in your case:
ApiInterface apiService =
RetrofitInstance.getRetrofitInstance().create(ApiInterface.class);
retrofit2.Call<BookResponce> call = apiService.getBooksById("zyTCAlFPjgYC", BOOKS_API_KEY);
call.enqueue(new Callback<BookResponce>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(retrofit2.Call<BookResponce> call, Response<BookResponce> response) {
bookResp = response.body();
for (int i = 0; i == 0; i++){
bookList.add(i, bookResp.getBooks().get(i).getBookData());
//This is what you must add
bookList.get(i).setBookId(bookResp.getBooks().get(i).getId());
}
cAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
@Override
public void onFailure(retrofit2.Call<BookResponce> call, Throwable t) {
Toast.makeText(this, "failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
If anyone has a more optimal solution is welcome to edit/add his!
