7,251 PointsMaking our code Asynchronous: Android Studio won't allow IOException in catch block, no weather data in logcat
Android Studio(Latest Build) does not allow the catch block and says IOException is never thrown. App compiles and runs but logcat only returns:
03-04 11:09:18.221 14450-14476/com.thetechguys.mbepo V/MainActivityοΉ com.squareup.okhttp.internal.http.RealResponseBody@41ed0b98
Here is my code:
import com.squareup.okhttp.Callback;
import com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient;
import com.squareup.okhttp.Request;
import com.squareup.okhttp.Response;
import com.thetechguys.mbepo.R;
import java.io.IOException;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {
public static final String TAG = MainActivity.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
String apiKey = "3b69dd09645b01d78c4996ed7c425744";
double latitude = 37.8267 ;
double longitude = -122.423;
String forecastURL = "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/" + apiKey + "/" + latitude + "," + longitude;
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
Request request = new Request.Builder().url(forecastURL).build();
Call call = client.newCall(request);
call.enqueue(new Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Request request, IOException e) {
}
@Override
public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException {
if (response.isSuccessful()) {
Log.v(TAG, response.body().toString());
}
}
});
}
}```
