Defining a Java class to be used in java endpoint and android

Question

I am developing an app with Android Studio 1.0 with Google App Engine. I have created an App Engine Java Endpoints Module from Android Studio. Thus it created a lot of files, added dependencies in gradle automatically. In the template that was generated by Android Studio I saw aa class named MyBean , which I can use for sending data through endpoints. Now there is another class MyEndpoint which is the endpoint class I am exposing.
in MyEndpoint class there is an endpoint method,

@ApiMethod(name = "sayHi")
public MyBean sayHi(@Named("name") String name) {
    MyBean response = new MyBean();
    response.setData(name);
    return response;
}

Notice that The function parameter is a String value. Suppose I want to pass an Object of class MyBean to this method. I can do that by just doing this

public MyBean sayHi(MyBean testBean)

my Mybean class is

public class MyBean {

private String myData;
private byte[] imageByte;

public void setData(){

}
public String getData() {
    return myData;
}

public void setData(String data1) {
    myData = data1;
}

public void setImageByte(byte b[]){
    imageByte = b;
}

public byte[] getImageByte() {
    return imageByte;
}
}

Notice I added setImageBye and getImageByte methods. The problem is when I try to call my methods from my android java classes, setImageBye and getImageByte methods are not detected.
I saw that it only detects getData and setData methods.
But the getData and setData methods are not the methods defined in MyBean class. When I used find usages in Android Studio i saw that they were defined automatically in some other class which sources cannot be found and they defined setData by this
public com.example.shubhashis.myapplication.backend.myApi.model.MyBean setData(java.lang.String data) { /* compiled code */ }

So How can I use a class that I can use to communicate between the Backend and Android java classes. So that I can send it as a parameter in backend ApiMethod? So the class can be used as a middle ground?

Answer 1

The app portion of your android project should automatically sync with your backend portion.
Problem may arise if automatic synchronization is off. So you can sync project with gradle in upper portion of Android Studio. Then it will be able to detect your JAVA POJO classes in your backend.
