kotlin get a simple message using retrofit - json

Question

Hello i am having big problems here this is my first time using retrofit and i am new to kotlin, i don't know why this piece of code is not working.
This is my retrofit client
private const val BASE_URL = "https://89a6t4gtke.execute-api.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/Prod/"
val instance : IApi by lazy{
val retrofit = Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl(BASE_URL)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.build()
retrofit.create(IApi::class.java)
}
This is my response class
data class DefaultResponse(val message: String) {}
This is my response:
{
"message": "GET"
}
Interface
interface IApi {
#GET("hello")
fun returnHello():Call<DefaultResponse>
}
The call
toast_button.setOnClickListener{
RetrofitClient.instance
.returnHello()
.enqueue(object: Callback<DefaultResponse>{
override fun onFailure(call: retrofit2.Call<DefaultResponse>, t: Throwable) {
Toast.makeText(context,t.message + "bla",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
}
override fun onResponse(call: retrofit2.Call<DefaultResponse>,response: Response<DefaultResponse>) {
Toast.makeText(context, "empty?",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
}
})
}
No toast messages show, i had an error show once when i made my api just return a string and not a json string but now there is no error as i fixed it.

You should change to your Retrofit Client as following code;
class RetrofitClient {
companion object {
fun getClient(): Retrofit {
return Retrofit.Builder()
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
.baseUrl("https://89a6t4gtke.execute-api.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/Prod/")
.build()
}
}
}
Then add this in your activity ;
val service = RetrofitClient.getClient().create(IApi::class.java)
val call = service.returnHello()
val resp: DefaultResponse? = call.clone().execute().body()
if (resp != null) {
println("your response is -> $resp")
}
