How to log request and response body with Retrofit-Android

Question

I can t find relevant methods in the Retrofit API for logging complete request response bodies  I was expecting some help in the Profiler  but it only offers meta-data about response   I tried setting the log level in the Builder  but this doesn t help me either    RestAdapter adapter    new RestAdapter Builder                     setEndpoint baseUrl                   setRequestInterceptor interceptor                   setProfiler profiler                   setClient client                   setExecutors MyApplication getWebServiceThreadPool                     setLogLevel LogLevel FULL                   setLog new RestAdapter Log                          Override                     public void log String msg                            Log i TAG  msg                                                             build      EDIT  This code is working now  I don t know why it wasn t working earlier  Possibly because I was using some older version of retrofit

I used setLogLevel LogLevel FULL  setLog new AndroidLog  YOUR LOG TAG     it helped me  UPDATE  You can also try for debug purpose use retrofit client Response as response model

Update for Retrofit 2 0 0-beta3  Now you have to use okhttp3 with builder  Also the old interceptor will not work  This response is tailored for Android   Here s a quick copy paste for you with the new stuff   1  Modify your gradle file to    compile  com squareup retrofit2 retrofit 2 0 0-beta3    compile  com squareup retrofit2 converter-gson 2 0 0-beta3    compile  com squareup retrofit2 adapter-rxjava 2 0 0-beta3    compile  com squareup okhttp3 logging-interceptor 3 0 1    2  Check this sample code   with the new imports  You can remove Rx if you don t use it  also remove what you don t use   import okhttp3 OkHttpClient  import okhttp3 logging HttpLoggingInterceptor  import retrofit2 GsonConverterFactory  import retrofit2 Retrofit  import retrofit2 RxJavaCallAdapterFactory  import retrofit2 http GET  import retrofit2 http Query  import rx Observable   public interface APIService      String ENDPOINT    http   api openweathermap org     String API KEY    2de143494c0b2xxxx0e0       GET   data 2 5 weather appid     API KEY  Observable lt WeatherPojo gt  getWeatherForLatLon  Query  lat   double lat   Query  lng   double lng   Query  units   String units       class Factory        public static APIService create Context context           OkHttpClient Builder builder   new OkHttpClient   newBuilder          builder readTimeout 10  TimeUnit SECONDS         builder connectTimeout 5  TimeUnit SECONDS          if  BuildConfig DEBUG            HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor   new HttpLoggingInterceptor            interceptor setLevel HttpLoggingInterceptor Level BASIC           builder addInterceptor interceptor                    Extra Headers          builder addNetworkInterceptor   add chain - gt              Request request   chain request   newBuilder   addHeader  Authorization   authToken  build              return chain proceed request                      builder addInterceptor new UnauthorisedInterceptor context          OkHttpClient client   builder build           Retrofit retrofit             new Retrofit Builder   baseUrl APIService ENDPOINT  client client  addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create    addCallAdapterFactory RxJavaCallAdapterFactory create    build           return retrofit create APIService class                 Bonus  I know it s offtopic but I find it cool   In case there s an http error code of unauthorized  here is an interceptor  I use eventbus for transmitting the event   import android content Context  import android os Handler  import android os Looper  import com androidadvance ultimateandroidtemplaterx BaseApplication  import com androidadvance ultimateandroidtemplaterx events AuthenticationErrorEvent   import de greenrobot event EventBus  import java io IOException  import javax inject Inject  import okhttp3 Interceptor  import okhttp3 Response   public class UnauthorisedInterceptor implements Interceptor       Inject EventBus eventBus     public UnauthorisedInterceptor Context context        BaseApplication get context  getApplicationComponent   inject this           Override public Response intercept Chain chain  throws IOException       Response response   chain proceed chain request         if  response code      401          new Handler Looper getMainLooper    post    - gt  eventBus post new AuthenticationErrorEvent                return response          code take from https   github com AndreiD UltimateAndroidTemplateRx  my project

This is not the best way to do it the better answers are above   This is just another way to check it by using Android Logs   Put them all in this helps to catch parsing errors   call enqueue new Callback lt JsonObject gt                           Override                     public void onResponse Call lt JsonObject gt  call                                             Response lt JsonObject gt  response            Catching Responses From Retrofit     Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onResponseisSuccessful   quot  response isSuccessful         Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onResponsebody   quot  response body         Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onResponseerrorBody   quot  response errorBody         Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onResponsemessage   quot  response message         Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onResponsecode   quot  response code         Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onResponseheaders   quot  response headers         Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onResponseraw   quot  response raw         Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onResponsetoString   quot  response toString                                                  Override                     public void onFailure Call lt JsonObject gt  call                                            Throwable t     Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onFailuregetLocalizedMessage   quot   t getLocalizedMessage     Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onFailuregetMessage   quot   t getMessage     Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onFailuretoString   quot   t toString     Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onFailurefillInStackTrace   quot   t fillInStackTrace     Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onFailuregetCause   quot   t getCause     Log d  quot TAG quot    quot onFailuregetStackTrace   quot    Arrays toString t getStackTrace      Log d  quot TAG quot    quot getSuppressed   quot    Arrays toString t getSuppressed

There doesn t appear to be a way to do basic   body  but you can use FULL and filter the headers you don t want   RestAdapter adapter   new RestAdapter Builder                              setEndpoint syncServer                             setErrorHandler err                             setConverter new GsonConverter gson                              setLogLevel logLevel                             setLog new RestAdapter Log                                    Override                               public void log String msg                                      String   blacklist     Access-Control    Cache-Control    Connection    Content-Type    Keep-Alive    Pragma    Server    Vary    X-Powered-By                                      for  String bString   blacklist                                          if  msg startsWith bString                                               return                                                                                                                Log d  Retrofit   msg                                                                build      It appears that when overriding the log  the body is prefixed with a tag similar to     02-25 10 42 30 317 25645 26335 D Retrofit     so it should be easy to log basic   body by adjusting the custom filter   I am using a blacklist  but a whitelist could also be used depending on your needs

If you are using Retrofit2 and okhttp3 then you need to know that Interceptor works by queue  So add loggingInterceptor at the end  after your other Interceptors   HttpLoggingInterceptor loggingInterceptor   new HttpLoggingInterceptor            if  BuildConfig DEBUG              loggingInterceptor setLevel HttpLoggingInterceptor Level HEADERS     new OkHttpClient Builder                    connectTimeout 60  TimeUnit SECONDS                   readTimeout 60  TimeUnit SECONDS                   writeTimeout 60  TimeUnit SECONDS                   addInterceptor new CatalogInterceptor context                    addInterceptor new OAuthInterceptor context                    authenticator new BearerTokenAuthenticator context                    addInterceptor loggingInterceptor   at the end                  build

Retrofit 2 0    UPDATE   by Marcus P  hls  Logging In Retrofit 2  Retrofit 2 completely relies on OkHttp for any network operation  Since OkHttp is a peer dependency of Retrofit 2  you won   t need to add an additional dependency once Retrofit 2 is released as a stable release   OkHttp 2 6 0 ships with a logging interceptor as an internal dependency and you can directly use it for your Retrofit client  Retrofit 2 0 0-beta2 still uses OkHttp 2 5 0  Future releases will bump the dependency to higher OkHttp versions  That   s why you need to manually import the logging interceptor  Add the following line to your gradle imports within your build gradle file to fetch the logging interceptor dependency   compile  com squareup okhttp3 logging-interceptor 3 9 0    You can also visit Square s GitHub page about this interceptor  Add Logging to Retrofit 2  While developing your app and for debugging purposes it   s nice to have a log feature integrated to show request and response information  Since logging isn   t integrated by default anymore in Retrofit 2  we need to add a logging interceptor for OkHttp  Luckily OkHttp already ships with this interceptor and you only need to activate it for your OkHttpClient   HttpLoggingInterceptor logging   new HttpLoggingInterceptor         set your desired log level logging setLevel HttpLoggingInterceptor Level BODY   OkHttpClient Builder httpClient   new OkHttpClient Builder          add your other interceptors        add logging as last interceptor httpClient addInterceptor logging        lt -- this is the important line  Retrofit retrofit   new Retrofit Builder              baseUrl API BASE URL           addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create             client httpClient build             build      We recommend to add logging as the last interceptor  because this will also log the information which you added with previous interceptors to your request   Log Levels  Logging too much information will blow up your Android monitor  that   s why OkHttp   s logging interceptor has four log levels  NONE  BASIC  HEADERS  BODY  We   ll walk you through each of the log levels and describe their output   further information please visit   Retrofit 2     Log Requests and Responses  OLD ANSWER   no logging in Retrofit 2 anymore  The development team removed the logging feature  To be honest  the logging feature wasn   t that reliable anyway  Jake Wharton explicitly stated that the logged messages or objects are the assumed values and they couldn   t be proofed to be true  The actual request which arrives at the server may have a changed request body or something else   Even though there is no integrated logging by default  you can leverage any Java logger and use it within a customized OkHttp interceptor   further information about Retrofit 2 please refer   Retrofit     Getting Started and Create an Android Client
