HttpBuster

A very simple way to do http requests in Android using okHttp

---

How to use

---

• Create an instance of HttpBuster with an api endpoint

Api api = new Api();
api.setEndpoint("https://example.com/api/");
HttpBuster httpBuster = HttpBuster.withApi(api).build();

Thats it. Now you are ready to make http requests to your api endpoint.

Make GET request

a.) Without any request parameters

httpBuster.makeGetRequest("jokes/random", null, new ApiCallback() {
    @Override
    public void done(BusterResponse response, JSONObject jsonObject, Exception exception) {
        Log.e(TAG, "GET without params done");
    }
});

b.) With request parameters

HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("firstName", "Mutinda");
map.put("lastName", "Boniface");
httpBuster.makeGetRequest("jokes/random", map, new ApiCallback() {
    @Override
    public void done(BusterResponse response, JSONObject jsonObject, Exception exception) {
        Log.e(TAG, "GET with params done");
    }
});

NB:

1. The same applies for POST, PUT, DELETE requests
2. We recommend using a single HttpBuster instance for the entire application- You can do this by intializing your HttpBuster instance via the Application class

Make FILE UPLOAD request

// Add files to be upload 
List<RequestFile> files = new ArrayList<>();
String file = Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS).getPath()+"/no_picture.png";
files.add( new RequestFile("photo", file, MediaType.parse("image/PNG")) );

// add optional payload (this is optional)
HashMap<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("name", "Mutinda Boniface");

httpBuster.makeMultipartRequest("photo-upload/", map, files, new ApiCallback() {
    @Override
    public void done(BusterResponse response, JSONObject jsonObject, Exception exception) {
        Log.e(TAG,  "POST MULTIPART - Response =" +(response!=null? response.getString() :"Not reachable" ));
    }
});
