how to parse XML response using retrofit 2.0?

Question

Hi am new to android programming i have gone through some links for how to parse the XML response using retrofit and i tried for below XML as shown.

Is there any necessa

Answer 1

For example you have an XML string:

<Response>
    <Field1>string</Field1>
    <Field2>string</Field2>
    <Field3>string</Field3>
    <Field4>string</Field4>
</Response>

First, add to your gradle file:

implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-simplexml:2.6.1" 

Next, add to your retrofit builder:

.addConverterFactory(SimpleXmlConverterFactory.create())

Note: SimpleXmlConverterFactory is deprecated now, but I've not found a better solution

And your model class:

@Root(name = "Response")
data class Response @JvmOverloads constructor(
@field:Element(name = "Field1")
var bucket: String = "",
@field:Element(name = "Field2")
var key: String = "",
@field:Element(name = "Field3")
var etag: String = "",
@field:Element(name = "Field4")
var location: String = ""
)

Note: properties need to be predefined

Your ApiService file will be the same as you are parsing json
