How to cache okHTTP response from Web server?

问题

I want to know how can okHTTP response from Web server (which returns json data) be cached?

I want my app to download all the data needed for RecycleView and cache it once the user runs the app first time - and avoid re-downloading and parsing all the same data from Web server, if data has not changed.

I tried to get response headers, but this is what I get:

Request URL: https://somedomain.com/wp-json/?categories=3&per_page=100&status=publish

I have read that I could find ETAG or Last-Modified from the Server response to check for any changes, but as you can see there is no such thing.

Do you have any idea what to do if app only needs to download data at the first run - and after that only if the data has changed?

You need cache interceptor like this:

public class CacheInterceptor implements Interceptor {
    @Override
    public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
        Response response = chain.proceed(chain.request());

        CacheControl cacheControl = new CacheControl.Builder()
                .maxAge(15, TimeUnit.MINUTES) // 15 minutes cache
                .build();

        return response.newBuilder()
                .removeHeader("Pragma")
                .removeHeader("Cache-Control")
                .header("Cache-Control", cacheControl.toString())
                .build();
    }
}

Add this interceptor with Cache to your OkHttpClient like this:

File httpCacheDirectory = new File(applicationContext.getCacheDir(), "http-cache");
int cacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024; // 10 MiB
Cache cache = new Cache(httpCacheDirectory, cacheSize);
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
            .addNetworkInterceptor(new CacheInterceptor())
            .cache(cache)
            .build();

Just add a cache to your OkHttp client. First, you'll need to create the cache:

int cacheSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024;
Cache cache = new Cache(cacheDirectory, cacheSize);

Note that with this code you're providing a cache with a size limit of 10MB. After this, you'll create your client with the following code:

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
    .cache(cache)
    .build();

The client will honor cache related headers. You can relate to the official documentation for further details: https://github.com/square/okhttp/wiki/Recipes
