(Retrofit / Android) Parsing java object into PHP Rest API

Question

I tried to send data from android to my MySQL database using retrofit, but the data that was sent from android won't parsed into a php supported object so it doesn't inputted into the database. Turns out the api said that all of the parameters missing. So i presume the android sent the unsupported java object into my rest api. Here is my code :

Retrofit addBooking method :

private void addBooking(HashMap<String, String> booking){
        Call<HashMap<String, String>> call = userService.addBooking(booking);
        call.enqueue(new Callback<HashMap<String, String>>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<HashMap<String, String>> call, Response<HashMap<String, String>> response) {
                Log.i("RESPONSE", response.toString());
                if(response.isSuccessful()){
                    //Toast.makeText(FormRuanganActivity.this, "Success!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    Log.i("API RESPONSE", response.body().toString());
                    Snackbar.make(scrollViewForm, "Data successfully inputted", Snackbar.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<HashMap<String, String>> call, Throwable t) {
                Log.e("ERROR: ", t.getMessage());
                Toast.makeText(FormRuanganActivity.this, "ERROR: " + t.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        });
    }

and here is my php api code :

case 'createBooking':
                isParametersAvailable(array('title', 'start', 'end', 'nama', 'alamat', 'nohp', 'image', 'dosen',
                    'ruang', 'organisasi', 'alasan', 'mulai', 'selesai'));

                $db = new dboperation();

                $result = $db->createBooking(
                    $_POST['title'],
                    $_POST['start'],
                    $_POST['end'],
                    $_POST['nama'],
                    $_POST['alamat'],
                    $_POST['nohp'],
                    $_POST['image'],
                    $_POST['dosen'],
                    $_POST['ruang'],
                    $_POST['organisasi'],
                    $_POST['alasan'],
                    $_POST['mulai'],
                    $_POST['selesai']);

                if($result){
                    $response['error'] = false;
                    $response['message'] = "Booking added!";
                    $response['bookings'] = $db->getBookings();
                }
                else{
                    $response['error'] = true;
                    $response['message'] = "Error occured!";
                }
                break;

Before using HashMap, i tried using my Booking object (i created from the model class), but it doesn't input the data to my database either. My question is how do i parse the object that the android send to the php rest api so the api can input the data to my database? thank you for your help

Here's the response i get in the log cat :

07-22 17:16:09.472 12761-12761/com.telkomuniversity.iflab.spriflab I/RESPONSE: Response{protocol=http/1.1, code=200, message=OK, url=xxxx}

Editted ==

RetrofitCLient class :

import retrofit2.Retrofit;
import retrofit2.converter.gson.GsonConverterFactory;

public class RetrofitClient {

    private static Retrofit retrofit = null;

    public static Retrofit getClient(String url){
        if(retrofit == null){
            retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl(url)
                    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                    .build();
        }

        return retrofit;
    }

}

UserService interface :

import retrofit2.Call;
import retrofit2.http.Body;
import retrofit2.http.DELETE;
import retrofit2.http.FieldMap;
import retrofit2.http.GET;
import retrofit2.http.POST;
import retrofit2.http.PUT;
import retrofit2.http.Path;

public interface UserService {

    @GET("api.php?apicall=getBookings")
    Call<List<BookingInfo>> getBookings();

    @POST("api.php?apicall=createBooking")
    Call<HashMap<String, String>> addBooking(@Body HashMap<String, String> booking);

    @PUT("api.php?apicall=updateStatus")
    Call<BookingInfo> updateStatus(@Path("status") String status, @Body BookingInfo booking);

    @DELETE("api.php?apicall=deleteBooking&={id}")
    Call<BookingInfo> deleteBooking(@Path("id") int id);

}

and the create of the HashMap :

HashMap<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
        params.put("title", nim);
        params.put("start", "10/16/2018");
        params.put("end", "10/17/2018");
        params.put("nama", name);
        params.put("alamat", alamat);
        params.put("nohp", hp);
        params.put("image", "test.jpg");
        params.put("dosen", dosen);
        params.put("ruang", ruang);
        params.put("organisasi", organisasi);
        params.put("alasan", alasan);
        params.put("mulai", waktuMulai);
        params.put("selesai", waktuSelesai);

Please post your Retrofit code as well as code from where you call addBooking(HashMap<String, String> booking) and create HashMap of Booking. Make sure your are sending values in the key which set in your PHP code in isParametersAvailable(array(..)); — Viraj Patel

@IIehcram Try @FieldMap instead of @Body once and check. — Viraj Patel

@llehcram following code solve your problem

@FormUrlEncoded
@POST("api.php?apicall=createBooking")
Call<BookingInfo> addBooking(@FieldMap HashMap<String, String> booking);

Note: If you get error in handling BookingInfo response then you have to create POJO/Model class which is able to handle your response. You can create POJO class from response here and here
