(Retrofit) Could not locate converter for class crashing app
I was facing the same issue. I fixed it by adding :
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:<latest-version>'
to my build.gradle
Then specify the converter when creating my Retrofit instance.
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder() .baseUrl(Constants.API_BASE_URL) .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()) .build();
In Retrofit 2.0, Converter is not included in the package and when you are using Retrofit 2.0 Make Sure follow new URL pattern
Base URL: always ends with /
@Url: DO NOT start with /
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder() .baseUrl(Constants.API_BASE_URL) .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()) .build();
For more information about 2.0 Follow this link Retrofit 2.0: The biggest update
And also update build.gradle.
implementation "com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:$retrofit_version"
And add the extension in project level build.gradle file
ext {retrofit_version= "2.x.x"}
Change retrofit version accordingly
For me below dependency was there already
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.0.2'
For gson 2.0.2 I changed
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.0.2'
Then add
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder() .baseUrl(Constants.API_BASE_URL) .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()) .build();
