I'm using retrofit to POST a json array to server. Data is something like this:
{something:
{somethings:
[
{"param1":"value", "param2":value},
{"param1":"value", "param2":value}
]
}
}
however, my server forces me to MUST include the indices in the array like:
{something:
{somethings:
{
"0":{"param1":"value", "param2":value},
"1":{"param1":"value", "param2":value}
}
}
}
In other words cannot send parameters like this:
something[somethings][][param1]
something[somethings][][param2]
I must include indices:
something[somethings][0][param1]
something[somethings][0][param2]
How to do this using retrofit?
My interface looks like this:
interface ApiService {
@POST("endpoint")
public Callback<Something> postSomething (@Body Something something);
}
My classes look like following:
public class PostSomething {
private MapOfSomething something = new MapOfSomething();
public MapOfSomething getSomething() {
return portfolio;
}
public void setSomething(MapOfSomething something) {
this.something = something;
}
}
public class MapOfSomething {
private JSONObject somethings = new JSONObject();
public JSONObject getPortfolios() {
return somethings;
}
public void setSomethings(List<Something> somethingList) {
for (int i = 0; i<somethingList.size(); i++) {
try {
somethings.put(String.valueOf(i).toString(), somethingList.get(i));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
and calling the method like:
PostSomethings something = new PostSomethings();
MapOfSomething map = new mapOfSomething();
map.setSomethings(listofSomething);
something.setSomethings(map);
apiService.postSomething(something);
One way to solve your problem is to put json directly into body , so your interface will look like this
interface ApiService {
@POST("endpoint")
public Callback<Something> postSomething (@Body JSONObject jsonObject);
}
Now you need to create the JSONObject , here is how I have created your desired JSONObject
JSONObject mainJson = new JSONObject();
JSONArray list = new JSONArray();
JSONObject singleElement1 = new JSONObject();
try {
singleElement1.put("param1","value1");
singleElement1.put("param2","value2");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JSONObject singleElementSet1 = new JSONObject();
try {
singleElementSet1.put("1",singleElement1);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JSONObject singleElement2 = new JSONObject();
try {
singleElement2.put("param1","value1");
singleElement2.put("param2","value2");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JSONObject singleElementSet2 = new JSONObject();
try {
singleElementSet2.put("2",singleElement2);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
list.put(singleElementSet1);
list.put(singleElementSet2);
JSONObject subJson = new JSONObject();
try {
subJson.put("something",list);
mainJson.put("something",subJson);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
Log.d("json",""+mainJson.toString());
I am assuming right now you are calling your service like this way
Call<Something> call = instanceOfYourAPIService.postSomething(anInstanceOfSomethingObject);
But now you have to replace this with the following
Call<Something> call = instanceOfYourAPIService.postSomething(mainJson); //mainJson is the JSONObject which is created earlier
Hope it helps
EDIT
JSONObject mainJson = new JSONObject();
JSONObject singleElement1 = new JSONObject();
try {
singleElement1.put("param1","value1");
singleElement1.put("param2","value2");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JSONObject singleElement2 = new JSONObject();
try {
singleElement2.put("param1","value1");
singleElement2.put("param2","value2");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
ArrayList<JSONObject> jsonObjectArrayList = new ArrayList<JSONObject>();
//hope you can add item to this arraylist via some loop
jsonObjectArrayList.add(singleElement1);
jsonObjectArrayList.add(singleElement2);
JSONArray list = new JSONArray();
for(int i = 0;i<jsonObjectArrayList.size();i++){
JSONObject elementSet = new JSONObject();
try {
elementSet.put(String.valueOf(i).toString(),jsonObjectArrayList.get(i));
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
list.put(elementSet);
}
JSONObject subJson = new JSONObject();
try {
subJson.put("something",list);
mainJson.put("something",subJson);
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
