Logging with Retrofit 2

Question

I m trying to get the exact JSON that is being sent in the request  Here is my code   OkHttpClient client   new OkHttpClient    client interceptors   add new Interceptor        Override public com squareup okhttp Response intercept Chain chain  throws IOException         Request request   chain request          Log e String format   nrequest  n s nheaders  n s                             request body   toString    request headers            com squareup okhttp Response response   chain proceed request         return response           Retrofit retrofit   new Retrofit Builder       baseUrl API URL      addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create        client client  build      But I only see this in the logs   request  com squareup okhttp RequestBody 1 3ff4074d headers  Content-Type  application vnd ll event list json   How am I supposed to do proper logging  given the removal of setLog   and setLogLevel   which we used to use with Retrofit 1

I found way for Print Log in Retrofit

OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
            .addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
                @Override
                public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
                    Request request = chain.request();
                    if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
                        Log.e(getClass().getName(), request.method() + " " + request.url());
                        Log.e(getClass().getName(), "" + request.header("Cookie"));
                        RequestBody rb = request.body();
                        Buffer buffer = new Buffer();
                        if (rb != null)
                            rb.writeTo(buffer);
                        LogUtils.LOGE(getClass().getName(), "Payload- " + buffer.readUtf8());
                    }
                    return chain.proceed(request);
                }
            })
            .readTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .connectTimeout(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
            .build();

            iServices = new Retrofit.Builder()
                    .baseUrl("Your Base URL")
                    .client(okHttpClient)
                    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                    .build()
                    .create(Your Service Interface .class);

Works for me.

The following set of code is working without any problems for me  Gradle     Retrofit implementation  com squareup retrofit2 retrofit 2 5 0  implementation  com squareup retrofit2 converter-gson 2 5 0  implementation  com squareup okhttp3 logging-interceptor 3 12 1    RetrofitClient  HttpLoggingInterceptor logging   new HttpLoggingInterceptor    logging setLevel HttpLoggingInterceptor Level BODY    OkHttpClient client   new OkHttpClient Builder            addInterceptor logging           build     retrofit   new Retrofit Builder            baseUrl BASE URL           addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create             client client           build      One can also verify the results by going into Profiler Tab at bottom of Android Studio  then clicking   sign to Start A New Session  and then select the desired spike in  Network    There you can get everything  but it is cumbersome and slow   Please see image below

In Retrofit 2 you should use HttpLoggingInterceptor   Add dependency to build gradle  Latest version as of October 2019 is   implementation  com squareup okhttp3 logging-interceptor 4 2 1    Create a Retrofit object like the following   HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor   new HttpLoggingInterceptor    interceptor setLevel HttpLoggingInterceptor Level BODY   OkHttpClient client   new OkHttpClient Builder   addInterceptor interceptor  build     Retrofit retrofit   new Retrofit Builder            baseUrl  https   backend example com            client client           addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create             build     return retrofit create ApiClient class     In case of deprecation warnings  simply change setLevel to   interceptor level HttpLoggingInterceptor Level BODY     The above solution gives you logcat messages very similar to the old ones set by  setLogLevel RestAdapter LogLevel FULL    In case of java lang ClassNotFoundException   Older Retrofit version might require an older logging-interceptor version   Take a look at comments sections for details

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    first                  addInterceptor new OAuthInterceptor context    second                  authenticator new BearerTokenAuthenticator context                    addInterceptor loggingInterceptor   third  log at the end                  build

A best way to do this right in Retrofit 2 is to add the logger interceptor as a networkInterceptor this will print out the  network headers and your custom headers too  The important thing is to remember that interceptor work as a stack and be sure u add the logger at the end of all   OkHttpClient Builder builder   new OkHttpClient Builder    builder addInterceptor new MyCustomInterceptor     builder connectTimeout 60  TimeUnit SECONDS   builder readTimeout 60  TimeUnit SECONDS   builder writeTimeout 60  TimeUnit SECONDS      important line here builder addNetworkInterceptor LoggerInterceptor

Retrofit s interceptor is a great feature which allow you work with http requests  There are two types of them  application and network interceptors    I would recommend to use Charles Web Debugging Proxy Application if you need logging your requests responses  The output is very similar to Stetho but it is more powerful instrument which you do not need to add as a dependency to an application

The main problem which I faced was dynamical adding headers and logging them into debug logcat  I ve tried to add two interceptors  One for logging and one for adding headers on-the-go  token authorization   The problem was that we may  addInterceptor or  addNetworkInterceptor  As Jake Wharton said to me   Network interceptors always come after application interceptors  See https   github com square okhttp wiki Interceptors   So here is working example with headers and logs   OkHttpClient httpClient   new OkHttpClient Builder                 here we can add Interceptor for dynamical adding headers              addNetworkInterceptor new Interceptor                      Override                 public Response intercept Chain chain  throws IOException                       Request request   chain request   newBuilder   addHeader  test    test   build                        return chain proceed request                                                  here we adding Interceptor for full level logging              addNetworkInterceptor new HttpLoggingInterceptor   setLevel HttpLoggingInterceptor Level BODY                build         Retrofit retrofit   new Retrofit Builder                addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create gsonBuilder create                  addCallAdapterFactory RxJavaCallAdapterFactory create                 client httpClient               baseUrl AppConstants SERVER ADDRESS               build

I met the thing as you and I tried to ask the author of the book Retrofit  Love working with APIs on Android  here is the link   nope  I am not making some ads for them    but they are really nice guys    And the author replied to me very soon  with both Log method on Retrofit 1 9 and Retrofit 2 0-beta   And here is the code of Retrofit 2 0-beta   HttpLoggingInterceptor logging   new HttpLoggingInterceptor         set your desired log level logging setLevel Level BODY    OkHttpClient httpClient   new OkHttpClient         add your other interceptors         add logging as last interceptor httpClient interceptors   add logging        lt -- this is the important line   Retrofit retrofit   new Retrofit Builder         baseUrl API BASE URL      addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create        client httpClient      build      This is how to add logging method with the help of HttpLoggingInterceptor  Also if you are the reader of that book I mentioned above  you may find that it says there is not log method with Retrofit 2 0 anymore -- which  I had asked the author  is not correct and they will update the book next year talking about it      In case you are not that familiar with the Log method in Retrofit  I would like to share something more   Also should be noticed that there are some Logging Levels you could pick  I use the Level BODY most of the time  which will give some thing like this     You can find almost all the http staff inside the picture  the header  the content and response  etc   And sometimes you really don t need all the guests to attend your party  I just want to know whether it s successfully connected  that internet call is successfully made within my Activiy  amp  Fragmetn  Then you are free to use Level BASIC  which will return something like this     Can you find the status code 200 OK inside  That is it     Also there is another one  Level HEADERS  which will only return the header of the network  Ya of course another picture here     That s all of the Logging trick     And I would like to share you with the tutorial I learned a lot there  They have a bunch of great post talking about almost everything related to Retrofit  and they are continuing updating the post  at the same time Retrofit 2 0 is coming  Please take a look at those work  which I think will save you lots of time

I don t know if setLogLevel   will return in the final 2 0 version of Retrofit but for now you can use an interceptor for logging   A good example can found in OkHttp wiki  https   github com square okhttp wiki Interceptors  OkHttpClient client   new OkHttpClient    client interceptors   add new LoggingInterceptor      Retrofit retrofit   new Retrofit Builder            baseUrl  http   www yourjsonapi com            addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create             client client           build

First Add dependency to build gradle   implementation  com squareup okhttp3 logging-interceptor 3 12 1   While using Kotlin you can add Logging Interceptor like this    companion object       val okHttpClient   OkHttpClient   newBuilder                addInterceptor HttpLoggingInterceptor   apply                   level   HttpLoggingInterceptor Level BODY                             build         fun getRetrofitInstance    Retrofit           val retrofit   Retrofit Builder                    client okHttpClient                   baseUrl ScanNShopConstants BASE URL                   addCallAdapterFactory RxJava2CallAdapterFactory create                     addConverterFactory GsonConverterFactory create                     build            return retrofit
