benvium / retrofit-custom-error-handling.java
Created August 29, 2014 19:45
Fairly simply Retrofit custom error handling example. Is set up so that you don't need to do much work in the 'failure' handler of a retrofit call to get the user-visible error message to show. Works on all endpoints. There's lots of exception handling as our server folks like to keep us on our toes by sending all kinds of random stuff..!
// on error the server sends JSON
/*
{ "error": { "data": { "message":"A thing went wrong" } } }
*/
// create model classes..
public class ErrorResponse {
Error error;
