Get started with Kotlin


Add the Gradle plugin

In your app Gradle file, apply the com.apollographql.apollo plugin:

Using the

:

plugins {
// ...
id("com.apollographql.apollo").version("x.y.z")
}
plugins {
// ...
id("com.apollographql.apollo").version("x.y.z")
}

Or using the

:

buildscript {
// ...
classpath("com.apollographql.apollo:apollo-gradle-plugin:x.y.z")
}
apply(plugin = "com.apollographql.apollo")
buildscript {
// ...
classpath("com.apollographql.apollo:apollo-gradle-plugin:x.y.z")
}
apply plugin: "com.apollographql.apollo"

The plugin is hosted on the Gradle plugin portal, Jcenter and Maven Central.

Configure the plugin

apollo {
// instruct the compiler to generate Kotlin models
generateKotlinModels.set(true)
}
apollo {
// instruct the compiler to generate Kotlin models
generateKotlinModels.set(true)
}

Add the runtime dependencies

dependencies {
// The core runtime dependencies
implementation("com.apollographql.apollo:apollo-runtime:x.y.z")
// Coroutines extensions for easier asynchronicity handling
implementation("com.apollographql.apollo:apollo-coroutines-support:x.y.z")
}

Download your schema.json file

Apollo Android requires your 's schema as a schema.json file. You can obtain the contents of this file by running an on your server.

Note: If you don't have a yet, you can use the server from the

:
https://apollo-fullstack-tutorial.herokuapp.com/graphql
.

The Apollo Gradle plugin exposes a downloadApolloSchema task to help you obtain your schema. Provide this task your server's endpoint and the output location for the schema.json file:

./gradlew downloadApolloSchema \
--endpoint="https://your.domain/graphql/endpoint" \
--schema="src/main/graphql/com/example/schema.json"

If your endpoint requires authentication, you can pass custom HTTP headers:

./gradlew downloadApolloSchema \
--endpoint="https://your.domain/graphql/endpoint" \
--schema="app/src/main/graphql/com/example/schema.json" \
--header="Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Add your query

  1. Create a directory for your files: src/main/graphql/com/example/
  2. Add your schema.json to the directory: src/main/graphql/com/example/schema.json
  3. Put your in a .graphql file, next to the schema: src/main/graphql/com/example/LaunchDetails.graphql
src/main/graphql/com/example/LaunchDetails.graphql
query LaunchDetails($id:ID!) {
launch(id: $id) {
id
site
mission {
name
missionPatch(size:LARGE)
}
}
}
  1. Build your project, this will generate the model

Execute your query

You use an instance of the ApolloClient class to interact with your server and cache.

To make a using your generated models:

// First, create an `ApolloClient`
// Replace the serverUrl with your GraphQL endpoint
val apolloClient = ApolloClient.builder()
.serverUrl("https://your.domain/graphql/endpoint")
.build()
// in your coroutine scope, call `ApolloClient.query(...).toDeferred().await()`
scope.launch {
val response = try {
apolloClient.query(LaunchDetailsQuery(id = "83")).toDeferred().await()
} catch (e: ApolloException) {
// handle protocol errors
return@launch
}
val launch = response.data?.launch
if (launch == null || response.hasErrors()) {
// handle application errors
return@launch
}
// launch now contains a typesafe model of your data
println("Launch site: ${launch.site}")
}
