Setup

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file.
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        ...
    }
}

Step 2. Add the dependency:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.github.smith8h:SConnect:v5.0'
    ...
}

Warning

Add these dependencies in case you facing some compile or runtime errors:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:5.0.0-alpha.11'
    implementation 'com.squareup.okio:okio:3.5.0'
    implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.10.1'
    ...
}

Documentation

To create a connection first pass a context using with() method:

    SConnect.with(context)

Then pass the callback interface to deal with the response using callback() method:

    SConnect.with(context).callback(new SConnectCallBack() {
        @Override
        public void onFailure(SResponse response, String tag) {}
            
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(SResponse response, String tag, Map<String, Object> responseHeaders) {
            // use response, tag, responseHeaders
            if (response.isJSON() && response.isMap()) {
                Toast.makeText(context, response.getMap().getString("key"), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(context, response.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    })

After that, if you need to add headers, params to your connection. add them using methods:

    .addHeaders(Map<String, Object>)
    .addHeader("key", value) // you can also use add header one by one.


    .addParams(Map<String, Object>)
    .addParam("key", value) // you can  also use add header one by one.
        
    // and then set the param type.
    .paramsType(SConnect.PARAM) // or BODY


    // if required for some connections
    .mediaType("a string represent the media type applied to a connection")

then pass the url using url() method:

    .url("url")

Optional method | use tag() to set a tag to every connection (useful when you do a multiple connections at same time and need to recognize them).

    .tag("someTag")

finaly, use any of get(), post(), put(), delete(), patch(), options() or head() methods corresponding to your connection:

    .get()
    // or: post() | put() | delete() | patch() | options() | head()

Example Code

• connections doesn't need params/headers:

    SConnect.with(this)
            .callback(callback)
            .url(url)
            .get(); // post | put | delete
            // also pass tag if you need to recognize multiple requesrs which one is giving response

• connections need params/headers:

    Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
    params.put("key", value);
    ...
    Map<String, Object> headers = new HashMap<>();
    params.put("key", value);
    ...
            
    SConnect.with(this)
            .callback(callback)
            .addParams(params)
            .paramsType(SConnect.PARAM) // or BODY
            .addHeaders(headers)
            .mediaType("json/application;Charset:UTF-8")
            .url("http://example.url.com")
            .tag("sample")
            .get(); // post | put | delete...

Dealing with *Json response using SResponse class

if response is plain/text or HTML (when requesting websites) simply use response.toString() method.

    // get/check response as json (if get a api json response)
    boolean isJSON = response.isJSON();
    // check if response json is Map Object
    boolean isMap = response.isMap();
    // else if it's Array
    boolean isArray = response.isArray();
    
    
    // getting response if it is plain text or json in general
    String text = response.toString();
    
    
    // get response as map object
    SResponse.Map object = response.getMap();
    // now you can access all values in that object using
    // return Object of any value
    Object o = object.get("key");
    // return int
    int i = object.getInt("key");
    // return String
    String s = object.getString("key");
    // return float
    float f = object.getFloat("key");
    // return boolean
    boolean b = object.getBoolean("key");
    // return Map object as above ↑
    // if map object nested inside another map object
    SResponse.Map = object.getMap("key");
    // get keys
    Set<String> keys = object.keys();
    // get values
    List<Object> values = object.values();
    // has key?
    boolean hasKey = object.hasKey("key");
    // has value? (accepts anything)
    boolean hasValue = object.hasValue(Object);
    // iterate through keys & values
    object.forEach((key, value) -> {
        // use key || value
    });
    // size
    int size = object.size();
    // is empty?
    boolean isEmpty = object.isEmpty();
    // to json string
    String json = object.toString();
    // to HashMap
    HashMap<String, Object> map = object.toMap();
    
    
    // the same but for arrays
    // get response as array from response or from map object
    // this if the response body is array
    SResponse.Array array = response.getArray();
    // and this if response body is object ↑ has an array as value inside it
    SResponse.Array array = object.getArray("key");
    // array class has same methods like map class
    // get at index as object of any value
    Object o = array.get(0);
    // get string 
    String s = array.getString(0);
    // get int
    int i = array.getInt(0);
    // get float
    float f = array.getFloat(0);
    // get boolean
    boolean b = array.getBoolean(0);
    // get Map object like above if map object nested inside list
    SResponse.Map m = array.getMap(0);
    // same if it has array inside array
    SResponse.Array a = array.getArray(0);
    // contains something?
    boolean contains = array.contains(Object);
    // iterate through items
    array.forEach(item -> {
        // use item
    });
    // size
    int size = array.size();
    // is empty
    boolean isEmpty = array.isEmpty();
    // to json string
    String json = array.toString();
    // to List
    List<Object> list = array.toList();
