How do I persist the data that has been parsed from the server using Retrofit library. So that users can view it when there is no internet connection.
final RecyclerView recyclerView = (RecyclerView) findViewById(R.id.post_recycler_view);
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(new LinearLayoutManager(this));
ApiInterface apiService =
ApiClient.getClient().create(ApiInterface.class);
Call<ArrayList<Post>> call = apiService.getAllPosts();
call.enqueue(new Callback<ArrayList<Post>>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(Call<ArrayList<Post>> call, Response<ArrayList<Post>> response) {
int statusCode = response.code();
List<Post> posts = response.body();
recyclerView.setAdapter(new PostListAdapter(posts, R.layout.activity_main, getApplicationContext()));
}
@Override
public void onFailure(Call<ArrayList<Post>> call, Throwable t) {
Log.e(TAG, t.toString());
}
});
I want to save response, persist and show data into RecyclerView.
Help to save using ORM will be appreciated, I try to use Sugar ORM and ActiveAndroid but I can not succeed on that :(
When I extend SugarRecord or Model App terminate without any error on log cat
After copious research, I succeed to persist the response parsed using Retrofit. I have used Realm to persist the data for offline use. I will describe the methods I had implemented which may help other to encounter this type of problems.
1. Add Realm Dependencies to Gradle
App-level Gradle file
`apply plugin: 'realm-android'`
repositories {
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:1.2.0" --> on project level gradle file
2. Extends RealmObject
public class Post extends RealmObject {
@SerializedName("userId")
@Expose
private Integer userId;
@SerializedName("id")
@Expose
private Integer id;
@SerializedName("title")
@Expose
private String title;
@SerializedName("body")
@Expose
private String body;
public Integer getUserId() {
return userId;
}
public void setUserId(Integer userId) {
this.userId = userId;
}
public Integer getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Integer id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public void setTitle(String title) {
this.title = title;
}
public String getBody() {
return body;
}
public void setBody(String body) {
this.body = body;
}
}
3. Create Realm Configuration if not exist
if (realmConfiguration == null) {
realmConfiguration = new RealmConfiguration.Builder(this)
.build();
}
realm = Realm.getInstance(realmConfiguration);
4. Save parsed Data
Call<List<Post>> call = apiService.getAllPosts();
call.enqueue(new Callback<List<Post>>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(Call<List<Post>> call, Response<List<Post>> response) {
closeProgress();
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
List<Post> posts = response.body();
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(new PostAdapter(posts, R.layout.activity_main, getApplicationContext()));
for (int i = 0; i < posts.size(); i++) {
realm.beginTransaction();
Post post = realm.createObject(Post.class);
post.setUserId(posts.get(i).getUserId());
post.setId(posts.get(i).getId());
post.setTitle(posts.get(i).getTitle());
post.setBody(posts.get(i).getBody());
realm.commitTransaction();
}
mRecyclerView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
}
}
@Override
public void onFailure(Call<List<Post>> call, Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
});
5. Query and Inflate data saved by Realm
RealmResults<Post> posts = realm.where(Post.class).findAll();
mRecyclerView.setAdapter(new PostAdapter(posts, R.layout.activity_main, getApplicationContext()));
}
Following the above methods help me to solve my problem and I hope this will help to solve your problem too. If you get any problem implementing the solution, you can ask me on comment
