Web-service call from android app takes 10 mins to reflect the latest results

Am Struggling with one of the issues of being service taking almost 10 mins to reflect the updated results. Actually, am using an API of type Get, the structure of the service is like this:
www.abc.net/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?categories=192&page=1&per_page=2
When I try to call the service from the browser it's showing the updated information, but when I try to call the same service from my android app using retrofit it's delaying the updated response by almost 10 mins.
Here is the code mentioned in my last question about the same :
public class ApiClient {
private static Retrofit retrofit = null;
public static Retrofit getClient() {
HttpLoggingInterceptor interceptor = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
interceptor.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Interceptor.Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request original = chain.request();
// Request customization: add request headers
Request.Builder requestBuilder = original.newBuilder()
.cacheControl(CacheControl.FORCE_NETWORK)
.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache")
.addHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store");
Request request = requestBuilder.build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
});
OkHttpClient client = httpClient.build();
retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(ApiInterface.SERVICE_ENDPOINT)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.client(client)
.build();
return retrofit;
}
}
My API Interface
public interface ApiInterface {
String SERVICE_ENDPOINT = "https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/";
#GET("posts")
Call<ArrayList<CategoryResponse>> fetchlatestposts(#Query("bloglist")
int bloglist);
}
What can be the issue for not getting the updates response in real time, while as after 10-15 mins of pause it will give the updated results.

The issue was from the server side, WordPress has cache enabled which was causing the issue.

How to use Okhttpclient Create a Http Delete Or Put Method With Params? android okhttpclient

Does anyone know in Android How to use Okhttpclient Create a Http Delete Or Put Method With Params?
Using java , this is what i have tried:
CookieJarImpl cookieJar = new CookieJarImpl(new PersistentCookieStore(context));
okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.cookieJar(cookieJar)
.addInterceptor(new LoggerInterceptor("TAG"))
.connectTimeout(10000L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
.readTimeout(10000L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) //其他配置
.build();

You can build a URL with query parameters using the HttpUrl class. Then you can use an okhttp3.Request.Buidler() along with either the post() or delete() methods:
HttpUrl url = new HttpUrl.Builder()
.host(host).addQueryParameter(name, value).build();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.url(url).post(RequestBody.create(mediaType, body)).addHeader(type, header).build();
okhttpClient.newCall(request).enqueue(new Callback() {
...
});
You can check out the OkHttp wiki for recipes if you need further help. Or you could use Square's other wonderful library, Retrofit, which pairs well with OkHttp.

How to add default params by using Retrofit and OKHttp in every post

I'm just learning Retrofit and OKHttp, now I have an issue.
Every request in my app is POST, just like this:
#FormUrlEncoded
#POST("some url")
Observable<Result> getData(#Field("id") String id);
In every POST, there are two same params. So in a most simple way, I can add two more #Field in every method, for example, #Field("token"),#Field("account"). But I think there must be a smart way.
Then I thought OkHttpClient may solve this.
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request request = chain.request();
RequestBody body = new FormBody.Builder().add("account", "me")
.add("token", "123456").build();
request = request.newBuilder().post(body).build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
}).build();
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("some base url")
.client(client)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.addCallAdapterFactory(RxJavaCallAdapterFactory.create())
.build();
Or
HttpUrl url = request.url().newBuilder()
.setEncodedQueryParameter("account", "me")
.setEncodedQueryParameter("token", "123456")
.build();
The first method just replace all Field to these two.
The second method just add these two as GET parameters, not POST.
Now I have absolutely no idea how to make this work.

OK...Finally I find a way to do this. But I'm not sure this is the best way.
Here is the code:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request request = chain.request();
FormBody.Builder bodyBuilder = new FormBody.Builder();
FormBody b = (FormBody) request.body();
for (int i=0;i<b.size();i++) {
bodyBuilder.addEncoded(b.name(i),b.value(i));
}
bodyBuilder.addEncoded("account", "me").add("token", "123456");
request = request.newBuilder().post(bodyBuilder.build()).build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
}).build();
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("http://some url)
.client(client)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.addCallAdapterFactory(RxJavaCallAdapterFactory.create())
.build();
I get all the #Field from retrofit, then add every key-value params to a new RequestBody, same as these two default params. Now every POST request has "account" and "token".
If there is a better way to do this, please let me know.

You can do that by adding a new request interceptor to the OkHttpClient. Intercept the actual request and get the HttpUrl. The http url is required to add query parameters since it will change the previously generated request url by appending the query parameter name and its value.
OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient =
new OkHttpClient.Builder();
httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#Override
public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request original = chain.request();
HttpUrl originalHttpUrl = original.url();
HttpUrl url = originalHttpUrl.newBuilder()
.addQueryParameter("apikey", "your-actual-api-key")
.build();
// Request customization: add request headers
Request.Builder requestBuilder = original.newBuilder()
.url(url);
Request request = requestBuilder.build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
});

Using Response Interceptors with Retrofit

I see that ResponseInterceptors are present in OkHttp. I would like to use one, but I'm using Retrofit rather than OkHttp directly.
My question is firstly is it possible to use ResponseInterceptors with retrofit? If so how? There's api methods for Request interceptors but I can't find any corresponding Response methods.

For anyone who stumbles across this, I managed to find the answer after further searching. Note that the below requires OkHttp 2.2+ and retrofit 1.9+
//First create the OkHttp client and add your response interceptor
OkHttpClient httpClient = new OkHttpClient();
httpClient.interceptors().add(new ApiResponseInterceptor());
//then set the client on your RestAdapter
RestAdapter.Builder builder = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint(ACCOUNTS_SERVICE_BASE_URL)
.setClient(new OkClient(httpClient))
.setConverter(new GsonConverter(gson))
.setRequestInterceptor(getAuthRequestInterceptor())
.setLogLevel(RestAdapter.LogLevel.FULL);

See also this this question, which appears to be a duplicate of this one. One possibility is to override the execute method in Retrofit's OkClient:
OkClient client = new OkClient(okHttpClient) {
#Override
public retrofit.client.Response execute(retrofit.client.Request request) throws IOException {
retrofit.client.Response response = super.execute(request);
// Inspect 'response' before returning it
return response;
}
};
RestAdapter.Builder restAdapterBuilder = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint(API_BASE_URL)
.setClient(client);

How to prevent Retrofit from clearing my cookies

I get a cookie from my backend API that allows me to authenticate all subsequent user requests.
I'm using retrofit, and I can't get it to keep the session key between requests. I want to know how to configure retrofit so that it keeps the session key around and uses it for all future requests:
public class ApiClient{
private static final String API_URL = "http://192.168.1.25:8080";
private static RestAppApiInterface sRestAppService;
public static RestAppApiInterface getRestAppApiClient() {
if (sRestAppService == null) {
CookieManager cookieManager = new CookieManager();
cookieManager.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
CookieHandler.setDefault(cookieManager);
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint(API_URL)
.build();
sRestAppService = restAdapter.create(RestAppApiInterface.class);
}
return sRestAppService;
}
}

You need to set a Cookie persistent Client.
Since you're using Android and retrofit I suggest using OKHttp wich is better supported by retrofit and Android thread safe, the way to this is the following
//First create a new okhttpClient (this is okhttpnative)
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient(); //create OKHTTPClient
//create a cookieManager so your client can be cookie persistant
CookieManager cookieManager = new CookieManager();
cookieManager.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
client.setCookieHandler(cookieManager); //finally set the cookie handler on client
//OkClient is retrofit default client, ofcourse since is based on OkHttClient
//you can decorate your existing okhttpclient with retrofit's okClient
OkClient serviceClient = new OkClient(client);
//finally set in your adapter
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
.setEndpoint("Some eNdpoint")
.setClient(serviceClient)
.build();
The point of using Okhttp instead of the defaultHttpClient(by apache) is that okhttp is threadsafe for android and better supported by retrofit.
Remembar that if you create another adapter you will need to set the same client, perhaps if you implement singleton on the client instance you will use the same one for all your requests, keeping in the same context
I hope this helps,best

If you use Retrofit 2 you can add the library:
compile "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp-urlconnection:3.2.0"
then use the following code to manage cookies when you create your OkHttp client:
CookieManager cookieManager = new CookieManager();
cookieManager.setCookiePolicy(CookiePolicy.ACCEPT_ALL);
OkHttpClient.Builder builder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
builder.cookieJar(new JavaNetCookieJar(cookieManager));
