How to make retrofit calls single threaded in android

Question

i am currently working on a project with retrofit, i have multiple WS calls and in order to use them i use the following code:

      call.enqueue(new Callback<Object>() {
                @Override
                public void onResponse(...

In some views i have multiple calls up to 5 or 6 and this was working fine , but when i advanced i nnoticed that i need to make the calls simultaneous so they can go one after the other .

Is there a way to make retrofit calls synchronized so they can go one after the other ?

You can make it synchronious by NOT adding a callback method.

For example:

service.getTasks().execute();

can you detail your answer ? i am farahead in my project (8 months of coding ) so replacing all the calls is not that simple, when and where execute the `service.getTasks().execute(); ` – Kingofkech Jun 28 '18 at 09:09

For synchronous requests with retrofit :

Call<List<Task>> call = retrofitService.getData(); 
List<Data>> data = call.execute().body();

You need to do this in the background thread though.

Apparently, It seems you need chaining of you API calls to a single task rather than repetitive calling. Here, you can find something

RxJava

Chaining of API Calls

Hope it helps

Personally, I'd like to suggest RxJava for combining requests. It's a better approach. – Anu Bhalla Jun 28 '18 at 09:15
