I am using retrofit and I have a post request
interface NetworkApi {
@Headers("Content-Type: application/json")
@POST("/")
fun startLoginRequest(@Body loginModel : LoginModel) : Call<BaseResponseModel>
class Factory {
var retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build()
companion object{
fun getApi (): NetworkApi {
val serverApi = NetworkApi.Factory()
val api = serverApi.retrofit.create(NetworkApi::class.java)
return api
}
}
}
}
when I use this method and on response method were calling response body is always null.
fun startLoginRequest(){
val api = NetworkApi.Factory.getApi()
val request = api.startLoginRequest(loginRequestModel)
request.enqueue(object : Callback<BaseResponseModel>{
override fun onFailure(call: Call<BaseResponseModel>?, t: Throwable?) {
}
override fun onResponse(call: Call<BaseResponseModel>?, response: Response<BaseResponseModel>?) {
//here response.body is null
}
})
}
Strange thing is that, if I will send the same object using Postman everything works fine
this is httpClient interceptor log
--> POST http://myExampleHost.net/ http/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 95
Authorization: auth-value
--> END POST (95-byte body)
<-- 405 Method Not Allowed http://myExampleHost.net/ (198ms)

For now I’m using OkHttp RequestBuilder and everything works fine, I don’t realize what I’m missing in the above example
val client = OkHttpClient()
val JSON = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8")
val body = RequestBody.create(JSON,json)
val request1 = Request.Builder()
.url("http:example.com")
.addHeader("content-type", "application/json")
.method("POST", body)
.build()
client.newCall(request1).enqueue(object : okhttp3.Callback{
override fun onFailure(call: okhttp3.Call?, e: IOException?) {
}
override fun onResponse(call: okhttp3.Call?, response: okhttp3.Response?) {
response?.body()?.string()?.print("RETROFIT response")
}
})

I found the answer, the problem was url, my baseUrl were
http//www.example.com/url1/url2/...../service
and@POST("/")
when I saw the POST endpoint it was http//www.example.com/ and I don't know why
I just changed this urls
baseUrl = http//www.example.com/
and@POST("url1/url2/...../service")
My best guess is that you are trying to post to the wrong url
www.example.com/login//
instead ofwww.example.com/login/
. APIs can be a bit finicky about posts.You can add the logging interceptor so you can see what you are posting and to what URL so its a little easier to debug. To set it up you need to add
compile "com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:$okhttp_version"
to your gradle file and change your retrofit setup to something like this:That’s the best advice I can give without seeing the error logs.
I was missing “/” at the end of my url in the POST request.
Changing url from
http://www.example.com/list_products
to http://www.example.com/list_products/ worked for me.
Method not allowed error with status code-405 is showed when we are not sending our request method or wrong request method is getting sent.
In my scenario,Api is of POST type and I was checking for GET request type,
So try change your proper Request method(GET/POST/PUT/DELETE).
For me the main reason was i was calling http instead https
For Example:
i was using this url as a base url which give me this error
when i changed it to this one it worked like a charm
For me instead of /api/login, /api/login/ fixed the issue
