Unable to create converter for Resource

[fazalBykea]

I am following your Repository I am facing issue with converter factory.

Here is my code

public static Retrofit getClient(){
        Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(ApiTags.BASE_URL)
                .addCallAdapterFactory(LiveDataCallAdapterFactory.create())
                .addConverterFactory(LiveDataResponseBodyConverterFactory.create())
                .build();

        return retrofit;
    }

Logcat:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to create converter for com.github.leonardoxh.
livedatacalladapter.Resource<com.example.livedatademo.Models.response.GithubResponse>
                      for method IRestClient.getGithubOrganization

Do you have a converter for your GithubResponse (like gson, jackson, moshi) ? You should add it after the live data response body converter.

Yes, When I add GsonConverterFactory it gives me error that require retrofit2.Converter.factory but found retrofit.Converter.factory

[leonardoxh]

this is not a library problem. This is a project setup problem. If you can provide a full related files I can help you.

Also you problem is that you are using the wrong gson converter factory dependency you should use the version two (retrofit2) instead of v1.

Ok. Please have a look.

My Service Interface

public interface IRestClient {

    @GET(ApiTags.GET_ORGANIZATION)
    LiveData<Resource<GithubResponse>> getGithubOrganization();
}

RestClient

public static Retrofit getClient(){
        Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(ApiTags.BASE_URL)
                .addCallAdapterFactory(LiveDataCallAdapterFactory.create())
                .addConverterFactory(LiveDataResponseBodyConverterFactory.create())
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .build();

        return retrofit;
    }

Request Handler

public void requestGithubData(LifecycleOwner context, final IResponseCallback iResponseCallback) {
        this.context = context;
        mRestClient = RestClient.getClient();
        mRestClient.create(IRestClient.class).getGithubOrganization().observe(context,
                new Observer<Resource<GithubResponse>>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onChanged(@Nullable Resource<GithubResponse> githubResponseResource) {
                        if (githubResponseResource.isSuccess()){
                            iResponseCallback.onResponse(githubResponseResource.getResource());
                        }else {
                            iResponseCallback.onError(githubResponseResource.getError().hashCode(), githubResponseResource.getError().getMessage());
                        }
                    }
                });

    }

You are right! I am using retrofit v1 instead of v2. Thanks
