I am trying to make a Post Request using Retrofit, MVVM, Coroutines and Hilt.
After sending the post request I get this error
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING at line 1 column 1 path $
(I have searched but none was helpful)
AppModule
@Provides
@Singleton
fun provideRetrofit(gson: Gson) : Retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(EndPoints.BASE_URL)
.client(OkHttpClient.Builder().also { client ->
if (BuildConfig.DEBUG){
val logging = HttpLoggingInterceptor()
logging.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY)
client.addInterceptor(logging)
}
}.build()
)
.addConverterFactory(ScalarsConverterFactory.create())
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create(gson))
.build()
@Provides
@Singleton
fun provideApiService(retrofit: Retrofit) = retrofit.create(ApiService::class.java)
ApiService
@POST(EndPoints.REGISTER_WITH_EMAIL) suspend fun registerUserWithEmail(@Body newUser: NewUser) : Response<JsonResponse>
ApiDataSource
suspend fun createNewUserEmail(newUser: NewUser) = apiService.registerUserWithEmail(newUser)
NewUser
data class NewUser (
@SerializedName("username") val userName: String?,
@SerializedName("password") val password: String?,
@SerializedName("email") val email: String?,
@SerializedName("birthday") val birthday: String?,
@SerializedName("birth_year") val birthYear: String?,
@SerializedName("fullname") val fullname: String?,
@SerializedName("gender") val gender: String?)
RegisterRepo
suspend fun saveUserWithEmail(newUser: NewUser) = safeApiCall {
apiDataSource.createNewUserEmail(newUser) }
RegisterViewModel
//SaveUserDetails
private val _saveDetailsEmail = MutableLiveData<Resource<JsonResponse>>()
fun doRegisterUserEmail(newUser: NewUser) = viewModelScope.launch {
try {
_saveDetailsEmail.value = registerRepo.saveUserWithEmail(newUser)
}
catch (exception: Exception){
}
}
JsonResponse
data class JsonResponse (val success: String, val message: String)
RegisterFragment
val userDetails = NewUser(usernameString, passwordPassed, emailPassed, birthdayPassed, birthYearPassed, fullnameString, genderString)
registerViewModel.doRegisterUserEmail(userDetails)
registerViewModel.saveDetailsEmail.observe(viewLifecycleOwner, Observer {
when(it.status){
Resource.Status.SUCCESS -> {
if(it.data?.success == "0"){
//Display error
Toast.makeText(requireContext(), it.data.message + "Registration", Toast.LENGTH_LONG ).show()
}
else if(it.data?.success == "1"){
//go to home activity
Toast.makeText(requireContext(), it.data.message + "Registrationx", Toast.LENGTH_LONG ).show()
val action = DetailsFragmentDirections.actionDetailsFragmentToHomeActivity()
navController.navigate(action)
}
}
Resource.Status.LOADING -> {
//Show loading
}
Resource.Status.ERROR -> {
Toast.makeText(requireContext(), it.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
}
}
})
}
This is the response after testing with POSTMAN. it was working
{"success":"1","message":"User details saved"}
Update RESOURCE class
data class Resource<out T>(val status: Status, val data: T?, val message: String?) {
enum class Status {
SUCCESS,
ERROR,
LOADING
}
companion object {
fun <T> success(data: T): Resource<T> {
return Resource(Status.SUCCESS, data, null)
}
fun <T> error(message: String, data: T? = null): Resource<T> {
return Resource(Status.ERROR, data, message)
}
fun <T> loading(data: T? = null): Resource<T> {
return Resource(Status.LOADING, data, null)
}
}

Answer
I had to decode the JSON sent to the server especially when the content type here is application/json
$data = file_get_contents('php://input');
$json_data = json_decode($data , true);
//I added these above
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){
$username = $json_data["username"];
$password = $json_data["password"];
$email = $json_data["email"];
}
