I’m trying to get some json data using OkHttp and can’t figure out why when i try logging the response.body().toString()
what i get is Results:﹕ com.squareup.okhttp.Call$RealResponseBody@41c16aa8
try { URL url = new URL(BaseUrl); OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient(); Request request = new Request.Builder() .url(url) .header(/****/) .build(); Call call = client.newCall(request); Response response = call.execute(); **//for some reason this successfully prints out the response** System.out.println("YEAH: " + response.body().string()); if(!response.isSuccessful()) { Log.i("Response code", " " + response.code()); } Log.i("Response code", response.code() + " "); String results = response.body().toString(); Log.i("OkHTTP Results: ", results);
I don’t know what i’m doing wrong here. How do i get the response string?

Answer
Just in case someone bumps into the same weird thing as I have. I run my code during development in Debug Mode and apparently since OKHttp 2.4
..the response body is a one-shot value that may be consumed only once
So when in debug there is a call “behind the scene” from the inspector and the body is always empty. See: https://square.github.io/okhttp/3.x/okhttp/okhttp3/ResponseBody.html
