Api call using Volley is very much easier. Yes, code is drastically reduced here
Just add the dependency
implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.1' // migrating to implementation is important
And here we do the GET Method
val queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
val stringRequest = StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, "http://sulthanallaudeen.com/api/v1/ping",
Response.Listener<String> { response ->
Toast.makeText(this@LoginActivity, response, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
},
Response.ErrorListener {
Toast.makeText(this@LoginActivity, "Error in API Request", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
})
queue.add(stringRequest);
And this makes entire process easy !!
