Code Example
Refer to the example for complete implementation and usage.
- Step 1: Get reference to root layout of Activity or Fragment. Root layout can be any ViewGroup
Example-
RelativeLayout parentLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.rootLayout);
-
Step 2: Crete Object of ApiCallingFlow and implement methods.
- 1st parameter - context
- 2nd parameter - parentLayout from step 1
- 3rd parameter - true for transparent background, false for default white background
-
Step 3: Pass function to call current API on click of try again.
private void requestTestApi() { ... ApiCallingFlow apiCallingFlow = new ApiCallingFlow(this, parentLayout, false) { @Override public void callCurrentApiHere() { //Step 3: Pass function to call current API requestTestApi(); } } ; ... }
-
Step 4: Get current Network state using apiCallingFlow.getNetworkState() and request API accordingly.
-
Step 5: Call apiCallingFlow.onSuccessResponse() in API success function.
-
Step 6: Call apiCallingFlow.onErrorResponse() in API error function.
