In my android app, I am using retrofit to call the API and cast the response json to My Class. I am okay with simple responses but one of them contain dynamic fields (which need to be gathered in a list or map). A sample of result json is something like this:
{
"_id":"id",
"name":"somename",
"paths":[
{
"_id":"path id 1",
"path":"path 1"
},
{
"_id":"path id 2",
"path":"path 2"
}
],
"dynamic_field1":"dynamic_value1",
"dynamic_field2":"dynamic_value2",
"dynamic_field3":"dynamic_value3"
}
How should I cast this result, in order to have normal fields alongside dynamic fields (In a map or list)?
You can easily cast the dynamic key-value pair with Map
Create the model class like this:
class Response {
private String id;
..
private final Map<String, String> dynamicValues = new HashMap<>();
public void addDynamicValues(String key, String value) {
dynamicValues.put(key, value).
}
....\\ getter setter for methods
}
In your case, I would suggest just get the response in Map and then loop and get known/unknown keys value. There is another way you can create your own JsonMapper to map accordingly. But that much effort would not be useful if this is just for a single API.
@GET("getResponse/")
Call<Map<String, Object>> getResponse();
Now execute with Retrofit
if(response.isSuccessful()) {
Response apiResponse = new Response();
Map<String, Object> responseBody = response.body();
for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : responseBody.entrySet()) {
System.out.println("Key = " + entry.getKey() +
", Value = " + entry.getValue());
if(entry.getKey().equals("_id")) {
apiResponse.setId((String) responseBody.get("_id");
} else if (entry.getKey().equals("name")) {
apiResponse.setName((String) responseBody.get("name");
} else if (entry.getKey().equals("name")){
apiResponse.setPaths(responseBody.get("paths");
} else {
apiResponse.addDynamicValues(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
}
} else {
System.out.println(response.errorBody());
}
