Hello, i try convert this cURL in kotlin using retrofit 2, but i cant and i really need this. Help me please.

Code cURL->

curl -X POST \
URL_BASE\
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <your_acces_token>'\
-H 'content-type: application/json'\
-d '{
"process": "Attended",
"rauthorityId": "<your_rauthorityId>"
}'

Is ktor an option for you? val result: String = client.post {
url("URL_BASE")
header("Authorization", "Bearer $accessToken")
body = TextContent(
text = "{\"process\": \"Attended\",\"rauthorityId\": \"$rauthorityId\"}",
contentType = ContentType.Application.Json
)
}

that laos looks easy to do with fuel

[Nikky]

just some snippet from my code:

val requestSerializer: KSerializer<GraphQLRequest> = GraphQLRequest.serializer()
val resultSerializer: KSerializer<GraphQlResult> = GraphQlResult.serializer()
val (request, response, result) = <http://Fuel.post|Fuel.post>(url)
    .jsonBody(body = Json.stringify(requestSerializer, requestBody))
    .apply { headers.clear() }
    .header("User-Agent" to useragent, "Content-Type" to "application/json")
    .awaitObjectResponseResult(kotlinxDeserializerOf(loader = resultSerializer))

you can also do <http://url.post|url.post>() i do that for get requests

this is setting the jsonBody using a String , that takes care of the correct header technically, but i still clear it and make sure i set the headers exactly to what i want (i think there used to be some bug there that got fixed, i should validate if thats still necessary)
this code also uses kotlinx-serialization for dealin with json but about every other lib is also available for it
