How to Parse Json in Kotlin Using Retrofit: A Beginner's Guide

If you're a Kotlin beginner and learning to work with APIs, you might have encountered difficulties while trying to parse JSON data into your application. In this guide, we will address common issues when using Retrofit in Kotlin to fetch and display JSON responses in a TextView.

Understanding the Problem

You have a JSON response from an API that contains data in a specific structure and you want to display this information in your Android app's TextView. The JSON response you are working with looks like this:

Challenges Faced

Null values for Quote and Author: You attempted to retrieve these values but they were coming up as null.

Parsing the response to show in TextView: You are unsure how to extract the required data and display it on your UI.

Solution Overview

The solution to your problem involves correctly structuring the data classes in Kotlin, updating the Retrofit service interface, and modifying the way you handle the API response. Here's how to do it step-by-step:

Step 1: Define the Data Class for the Response

Firstly, you need to create a data class that matches the structure of the JSON response. It should look something like this:
