NetworkConnection

This library is a simple base network connection based on Retrofit, which make you able to create a Retrofit service in a fancy way using a builder pattern. It based on latest version of Retrofit, so it also support coroutines! NetworkConnection also supports RxJava to make HTTP requests.

If you want to use NetworkConnection in your project, you have to do the following steps:

• Add Jitpack.io to your root build.gradle file:

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

• Add the gradle dependency to your app build.gradle file:

  dependencies { compile 'com.github.devilmac:networkconnection:libVersion' }

  where libVersion is the latest version of the library.

How to use

Usage is very simple. All you have to do is the following:

• call setBaseURL() method to set the base URL of your services (If you are an Android developer, I recommend to call this method in your custom application or in your main activity)
• call setCustomOkHttpClient() method to use your own custom client instead of the default provided by the library
• it's not longer needed to get an instance of NetworkConnection class, you can simply call NetworkConnection.initializeServiceInstance() method create an instance of the service you want to use: YourService service = NetworkConnection.initializeServiceInstance(this, YourService.class);
• if you have to add some JSON adapters different from the standard GSON serialization, like Jackson, Moshi, etc., you have to add them to the method above this way: YourService service = NetworkConnection.initializeServiceInstance(this, YourService.class, new TypeAdapterFactory()); Check the Retrofit documentation for more details on custom converters.
• finally, you can make HTTP requests using your service! In your service you can use the standard Retrofit Call class or the Observable class of RxJava. Is up to you choose which method fits better your needs.

N.B.: Check the sample app for an example of usage of custom TypeAdapterFactory adapters, in particular it was used Immutables library; you can find a detailed guide here How to use Immutables with Retrofit in Android.
