Django-REST-Framework---Android

Android Integration for Django REST Framework

Gradle

In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle), Add this line inside the dependencies block.

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.civilmachines.drfapi:drfapi:0.0.2'
}

Usage

Register your Volley SingletonFile to your AndroidManifest.xml. You can copy the sample code from VolleySingleton Gist

<application
  android:name=".VolleySingleton"
  ...
    <activity>
    ...
    </activity>
</application>

JAVA

For JSONObject, you can use DjangoJSONObjectRequest

DjangoJSONObjectRequest request = new DjangoJSONObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, "url", requestData,
                new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                        // Response Received
                    }
                }, new DjangoErrorListener() {
                // Override Methods here
            @Override
            public void defaultErrorListener(String message) {
                super.defaultErrorListener(message);
            }
        }, this);

request.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(0, -1, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));
VolleySingleton.getInstance(this).getRequestQueue().add(request);

For JSONArray, you can use DjangoJSONArrayResponseRequest

DjangoJSONArrayResponseRequest request = new DjangoJSONArrayResponseRequest(Request.Method.GET, "url", null,
                new Response.Listener<JSONArray>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(JSONArray response) {
                        // Response Received
                    }
                }, new DjangoErrorListener() {
                // Override Methods here
                @Override
                public void defaultErrorListener(String message) {
                    super.defaultErrorListener(message);
              }
        }, this);
request.setRetryPolicy(new DefaultRetryPolicy(0, -1, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT));
VolleySingleton.getInstance(this).getRequestQueue().add(request);

If you need to pass some data with request, you can create a JSONObject and pass it in the request.

JSONObject requestData = new JSONObject();
requestData.put("key", "value");

This library uses shared preferences for Authentication Token, just save your token using the below code and it will be set to header automatically.

UserSharedPreferenceAdapter usrAdapter = new UserSharedPreferenceAdapter(this);
usrAdapter.saveToken("token");

// Use the get token method to retrieve the token
String token = usrAdapter.getToken();
