Since you’re now a networking pro, there’s not much else to do but practice using Kotlin Coroutines, for other requests. In this challenge, all you have to do is change the getTasks, completeTask, addTask and getUserProfile calls, to use the built-in support from Retrofit.

Demo

Start by opening the RemoteApiService.kt file. Change the following calls to be suspendable, and remove the call generic return type:

@GET("/api/note")
suspend fun getNotes(): GetTasksResponse

@GET("/api/user/profile")
suspend fun getMyProfile(): UserProfileResponse

@POST("/api/note/complete")
suspend fun completeTask(@Query("id") noteId: String): CompleteNoteResponse

@POST("/api/note")
suspend fun addTask(@Body request: AddTaskRequest): Task
suspend fun getTasks(): Result<List<Task>> = try {
  val data = apiService.getNotes().notes

  Success(data.filter { !it.isCompleted })
} catch (error: Throwable) {
  Failure(error)
}

suspend fun completeTask(taskId: String): Result<String> = try {
  val response = apiService.completeTask(taskId)

  Success(response.message!!)
} catch (error: Throwable) {
  Failure(error)
}

suspend fun addTask(addTaskRequest: AddTaskRequest): Result<Task> = try {
  val task = apiService.addTask(addTaskRequest)

  Success(task)
} catch (error: Throwable) {
  Failure(error)
}

suspend fun getUserProfile(): Result<UserProfile> = try {
  val notesResult = getTasks()

  if (notesResult is Failure) {
    Failure(notesResult.error)
  } else {
    val notes = notesResult as Success
    val data = apiService.getMyProfile()

    if (data.name == null || data.email == null) {
      Failure(NullPointerException("No data available!"))
    } else {
      Success(UserProfile(data.email, data.name, notes.data.size))
    }
  }
} catch (error: Throwable) {
  Failure(error)
}
viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
  val result = remoteApi.getUserProfile()
  withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
    if (result is Success) {
...
}      

viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
  val result = remoteApi.getTasks()
  withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
    if (result is Success) {
...
}

viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
  val result = remoteApi.completeTask(taskId)

  withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
    if (result is Success) {
...
}

viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycleScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
  val result = remoteApi.addTask(AddTaskRequest(title, content, priority))
  withContext(Dispatchers.Main) {
    if (result is Success) {
...
}
