This code calls several HTTP requests asynchronously and wait for all of them to conclude. If any request fails it notifies with an error, otherwise success. These requests returns JSON and I parse them using Gson.



For simplicity I have only showed two requests, however I want to refactor this code for any number of requests. There is a lot of similar code, but I can't figure a way to refactor it. I have already tried to create a custom Callback class however I can't figure a way to pass a Type and return the parsed value.



How would you approach this one?

    Simplicity isn't usually the way to go here. I recommend you show the rest of your code. You might get different answers based on the less "simple" code than you would with what you currently have. Also please change the title to describe What your code Does as apposed to your goal. (Almost everyone wants to refactor their code.)

  • @bruglesco The difference between this code and the actual one is that there are like 10 Request Objects and 10 client.newCalls(request) , should I include them anyway?

    Simplicity isn't usually the way to go here. I recommend you show the rest of your code. You might get different answers based on the less "simple" code than you would with what you currently have. Also please change the title to describe What your code Does as apposed to your goal. (Almost everyone wants to refactor their code.)

  • @bruglesco The difference between this code and the actual one is that there are like 10 Request Objects and 10 client.newCalls(request) , should I include them anyway?

Welcome to Code Review!



Thanks for sharing your code.



As you observed the main problem is code duplication.



We have basically two options to solve that problem. Both of them use the basic approach to separate the common code from the different code and "inject" the differing code into the common code.



prepare injecting differing code



When looking at your code the only difference between the //Article Request and the //Events Request are these lines:



//Article Request
articles = gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {
}.getType());

//Events Request
events = gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {
}.getType());


One problem here is that you change the objects pointed to by the member variables articles and events. We could make is easier to change if the objects would be reused:



//Article Request
articles.clear();
articles.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {
}.getType()));

//Events Request
events.clear();
events.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {
}.getType()));


now we can extract one of that parts to a new Method using the IDEs automated refactoring "extract method":



private void deserializeJson(
List<Event> events,
Gson gson,
ResponseBody body
){
events.clear();
events.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {
}.getType()));
}

//Events Request
// ...
} else {
deserializeJson((List<Event>)events,
Gson gson,
ResponseBody body);
}


Next we have to mat this new private method "generic":



private <L extends List> void deserializeJson(
L events,
Gson gson,
ResponseBody body
){
events.clear();
events.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<L>() {
}.getType()));
}


Now we can change toe other place too:



//Articles  Request
// ...
} else {
deserializeJson((List<Article>)articles);
}


from here we have two options:




  1. consolidating the common code in a single generic typed method.

  2. puttig the difering code into an "specialized classes" providing the differing behavior via an common interface.


common code in a single generic typed method



We basically do he same as above: we extract the //Events Request section or the //Articles Request into a new private method and make it "generic"



private <L extends List> void deserializeFromJson(
L theList,
OkHttpClient client,
Gson gson
){
client.newCall(articlesrequest).enqueue(new Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
error.set(true);
latch.countDown();
}
@Override
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
try {
ResponseBody body = response.body();
if (response.code() != 200 || body == null) {
error.set(true);
} else {
deserializeJson((L)theList, gson, body);
}
} catch (IOException | JsonSyntaxException e) {
error.set(true);
}
latch.countDown();
}
});
}


//Article Request
deserializeFromJson(
(List<Articles>)articles,
client,
gson
);

//Events Request
client.newCall(eventsrequest).enqueue(new Callback() {
// ...


and then also replace the other part:



//Article Request
deserializeFromJson(
(List<Articles>)articles,
client,
gson
);

//Events Request
deserializeFromJson(
(List<Event>)events,
client,
gson
);


creating specialized classes with interface



for this we have to move the private method created in the first section into a new inner class



class your current class:

private static class JsonDeserializer<T> {

void deserialize(
List<T> theList,
Gson gson,
ResponseBody body
){
theList.clear();
theList.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<T>>() {
}.getType()));

}
}
// ...

//Articles Request
// ...
} else {
new JsonDeserializer<Article>().deserialize(articles, gson, body);
}
//...


Since articles and events are member variables I'd rather have them as constructor parameters in the new class:



class your current class:

private static class JsonDeserializer<T> {
private final List<T> theList;
JsonDeserializer( List<T> theList){
this.theList = theList;
}

void deserialize(
Gson gson,
ResponseBody body
){
theList.clear();
theList.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<T>>() {
}.getType()));

}
}
// ...

//Articles Request
// ...
} else {
new JsonDeserializer<Article>(articles).deserialize(gson, body);
}
//...
//Event Request
// ...
} else {
new JsonDeserializer<Event>(eventss).deserialize(gson, body);
}
//...


Now we can create the JsonDeserializer instances at the top of the method:



private void loadRepository() {
JsonDeserializer<Article> articleDeserializer = new JsonDeserializer<>(articles);
JsonDeserializer<Event> eventDeserializer = new JsonDeserializer<>(event);
ExecutorService exService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
// ...
//Articles Request
// ...
} else {
articleDeserializer.deserialize(gson, body);
}
//...
//Event Request
// ...
} else {
eventDeserializer.deserialize(gson, body);
}
//...


Now the only difference left in //Articles Request section and //Event Request section is the name of the variable. So we can put the two JsonDeserializer instances into a collection and apply the *common code * as a loop:



private void loadRepository() {
JsonDeserializer<?> deserializers = Arrays.asList(
new JsonDeserializer<Article>(articles),
new JsonDeserializer<Event>(event)
);
ExecutorService exService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
// ...

Request eventsrequest = requestbuilder.url("https://apiurlevents").build();

//Article Request changed to loop
for(JsonDeserializer<?> deserializer: deserializers){
client.newCall(articlesrequest).enqueue(new Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
error.set(true);
latch.countDown();
}
@Override
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
try {
ResponseBody body = response.body();
if (response.code() != 200 || body == null) {
error.set(true);
} else {
deserializer.deserialize(gson, body);
}
} catch (IOException | JsonSyntaxException e) {
error.set(true);
}
latch.countDown();
}
});
}
try {
latch.await();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
error.set(true);
}


New document types are just new instances in the collection.

  • Really appreciate your help. That refactor would work, however not all my class member variables are from type List. Added more requests examples. If I replace List<T> to <T> would that work? Ofc I would declare JsonDeserializer as <List<Article>> for example.

You could use a CompletableFuture for this. Make each call return a completed future with the body, or an exceptionally completed future with an error:



private CompletableFuture<String> call(String url) {
CompletableFuture<String> future = new CompletableFuture<>();

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().connectTimeout(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS).build();
client.newCall(requestbuilder.url(url).build()).enqueue(new Callback() {
@Override
public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
future.completeExceptionally(e);
}

@Override
public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
try {
ResponseBody body = response.body();
if (response.code() != 200 || body == null) {
throw new IOException("Http error");
} else {
future.complete(body.string());
}
} catch (IOException | JsonSyntaxException e) {
future.completeExceptionally(e);
}
}
});

return future;
}


Then add a generic method to make the calls and deserialize the results:



private <T> Future<T> callAndDeserialize(String url, Gson gson, TypeToken<T> typeToken) {
CompletableFuture<String> future = call(url);
return future.thenApply(new Function<String, T>() {
public T apply(String body) {
return gson.fromJson(body, typeToken.getType()));
}
});
}


The loadRepository code would then be something like:



final Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeHierarchyAdapter(Calendar.class, new CalendarGson()).create();

Future<List<Article>> articlesFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
Future<List<Event>> eventsFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {});
Future<List<Article>> sportsFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
Future<List<Article>> fitnessFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
Future<List<Article>> governmentFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
Future<Article> mainArticleFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<Article>() {});
Future<Configuration> configurationFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<Configuration>() {});

try {
articles = articlesFuture.get();
events = eventsFuture.get();
sportArticles = sportsFuture.get();
fitnessArticles = fitnessFuture.get();
governmentArticles = governmentFuture.get();
mainArticle = mainArticleFuture.get();
config = configurationFuture.get();

notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.OK);
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
if(e.getCause() instanceof KeyManagementException || e.getCause() instanceof NoSuchAlgorithmException || e.getCause() instanceof KeyStoreException) {
notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.TLSERROR);
} else {
notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.HTTPERROR);
}
}


The ExecutionException at the end now retains the exception messages, causes and stacktraces. In case there's any unexpected errors you need to debug, you can also log this exception as well notifying the observers.

    private <L extends List> void deserializeJson(
    L events,
    Gson gson,
    ResponseBody body
    ){
    events.clear();
    events.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<L>() {
    }.getType()));
    }


    Now we can change toe other place too:



    //Articles  Request
    // ...
    } else {
    deserializeJson((List<Article>)articles);
    }


    from here we have two options:




    1. consolidating the common code in a single generic typed method.

    2. puttig the difering code into an "specialized classes" providing the differing behavior via an common interface.


    common code in a single generic typed method



    We basically do he same as above: we extract the //Events Request section or the //Articles Request into a new private method and make it "generic"



    private <L extends List> void deserializeFromJson(
    L theList,
    OkHttpClient client,
    Gson gson
    ){
    client.newCall(articlesrequest).enqueue(new Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
    error.set(true);
    latch.countDown();
    }
    @Override
    public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
    try {
    ResponseBody body = response.body();
    if (response.code() != 200 || body == null) {
    error.set(true);
    } else {
    deserializeJson((L)theList, gson, body);
    }
    } catch (IOException | JsonSyntaxException e) {
    error.set(true);
    }
    latch.countDown();
    }
    });
    }


    //Article Request
    deserializeFromJson(
    (List<Articles>)articles,
    client,
    gson
    );

    //Events Request
    client.newCall(eventsrequest).enqueue(new Callback() {
    // ...


    and then also replace the other part:



    //Article Request
    deserializeFromJson(
    (List<Articles>)articles,
    client,
    gson
    );

    //Events Request
    deserializeFromJson(
    (List<Event>)events,
    client,
    gson
    );


    creating specialized classes with interface



    for this we have to move the private method created in the first section into a new inner class



    class your current class:

    private static class JsonDeserializer<T> {

    void deserialize(
    List<T> theList,
    Gson gson,
    ResponseBody body
    ){
    theList.clear();
    theList.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<T>>() {
    }.getType()));

    }
    }
    // ...

    //Articles Request
    // ...
    } else {
    new JsonDeserializer<Article>().deserialize(articles, gson, body);
    }
    //...


    Since articles and events are member variables I'd rather have them as constructor parameters in the new class:



    class your current class:

    private static class JsonDeserializer<T> {
    private final List<T> theList;
    JsonDeserializer( List<T> theList){
    this.theList = theList;
    }

    void deserialize(
    Gson gson,
    ResponseBody body
    ){
    theList.clear();
    theList.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<T>>() {
    }.getType()));

    }
    }
    // ...

    //Articles Request
    // ...
    } else {
    new JsonDeserializer<Article>(articles).deserialize(gson, body);
    }
    //...
    //Event Request
    // ...
    } else {
    new JsonDeserializer<Event>(eventss).deserialize(gson, body);
    }
    //...


    Now we can create the JsonDeserializer instances at the top of the method:



    private void loadRepository() {
    JsonDeserializer<Article> articleDeserializer = new JsonDeserializer<>(articles);
    JsonDeserializer<Event> eventDeserializer = new JsonDeserializer<>(event);
    ExecutorService exService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
    // ...
    //Articles Request
    // ...
    } else {
    articleDeserializer.deserialize(gson, body);
    }
    //...
    //Event Request
    // ...
    } else {
    eventDeserializer.deserialize(gson, body);
    }
    //...


    Now the only difference left in //Articles Request section and //Event Request section is the name of the variable. So we can put the two JsonDeserializer instances into a collection and apply the *common code * as a loop:



    private void loadRepository() {
    JsonDeserializer<?> deserializers = Arrays.asList(
    new JsonDeserializer<Article>(articles),
    new JsonDeserializer<Event>(event)
    );
    ExecutorService exService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
    // ...

    Request eventsrequest = requestbuilder.url("https://apiurlevents").build();

    //Article Request changed to loop
    for(JsonDeserializer<?> deserializer: deserializers){
    client.newCall(articlesrequest).enqueue(new Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
    error.set(true);
    latch.countDown();
    }
    @Override
    public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
    try {
    ResponseBody body = response.body();
    if (response.code() != 200 || body == null) {
    error.set(true);
    } else {
    deserializer.deserialize(gson, body);
    }
    } catch (IOException | JsonSyntaxException e) {
    error.set(true);
    }
    latch.countDown();
    }
    });
    }
    try {
    latch.await();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
    error.set(true);
    }


    New document types are just new instances in the collection.

    • Really appreciate your help. That refactor would work, however not all my class member variables are from type List. Added more requests examples. If I replace List<T> to <T> would that work? Ofc I would declare JsonDeserializer as <List<Article>> for example.

    • @Exprove however not all my class member variables are from type List I'd create another JsonDeserializer that deserializes the generic type directly. Problem might be to get the de-serialized object out of the JsonDeserializer instance. replacing the List parameter of the constructor with a Listener might work.

    Welcome to Code Review!



    Thanks for sharing your code.



    As you observed the main problem is code duplication.



    We have basically two options to solve that problem. Both of them use the basic approach to separate the common code from the different code and "inject" the differing code into the common code.



    prepare injecting differing code



    When looking at your code the only difference between the //Article Request and the //Events Request are these lines:



    //Article Request
    articles = gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {
    }.getType());

    //Events Request
    events = gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {
    }.getType());


    One problem here is that you change the objects pointed to by the member variables articles and events. We could make is easier to change if the objects would be reused:



    //Article Request
    articles.clear();
    articles.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {
    }.getType()));

    //Events Request
    events.clear();
    events.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {
    }.getType()));


    now we can extract one of that parts to a new Method using the IDEs automated refactoring "extract method":



    private void deserializeJson(
    List<Event> events,
    Gson gson,
    ResponseBody body
    ){
    events.clear();
    events.addAll(gson.fromJson(body.string(), new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {
    }.getType()));
    }

    //Events Request
    // ...
    } else {
    deserializeJson((List<Event>)events,

    }

    }

    You could use a CompletableFuture for this. Make each call return a completed future with the body, or an exceptionally completed future with an error:



    private CompletableFuture<String> call(String url) {
    CompletableFuture<String> future = new CompletableFuture<>();

    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().connectTimeout(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS).build();
    client.newCall(requestbuilder.url(url).build()).enqueue(new Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
    future.completeExceptionally(e);
    }

    @Override
    public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
    try {
    ResponseBody body = response.body();
    if (response.code() != 200 || body == null) {
    throw new IOException("Http error");
    } else {
    future.complete(body.string());
    }
    } catch (IOException | JsonSyntaxException e) {
    future.completeExceptionally(e);
    }
    }
    });

    return future;
    }


    Then add a generic method to make the calls and deserialize the results:



    private <T> Future<T> callAndDeserialize(String url, Gson gson, TypeToken<T> typeToken) {
    CompletableFuture<String> future = call(url);
    return future.thenApply(new Function<String, T>() {
    public T apply(String body) {
    return gson.fromJson(body, typeToken.getType()));
    }
    });
    }


    The loadRepository code would then be something like:



    final Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeHierarchyAdapter(Calendar.class, new CalendarGson()).create();

    Future<List<Article>> articlesFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
    Future<List<Event>> eventsFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {});
    Future<List<Article>> sportsFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
    Future<List<Article>> fitnessFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
    Future<List<Article>> governmentFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
    Future<Article> mainArticleFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<Article>() {});
    Future<Configuration> configurationFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<Configuration>() {});

    try {
    articles = articlesFuture.get();
    events = eventsFuture.get();
    sportArticles = sportsFuture.get();
    fitnessArticles = fitnessFuture.get();
    governmentArticles = governmentFuture.get();
    mainArticle = mainArticleFuture.get();
    config = configurationFuture.get();

    notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.OK);
    } catch (ExecutionException e) {
    if(e.getCause() instanceof KeyManagementException || e.getCause() instanceof NoSuchAlgorithmException || e.getCause() instanceof KeyStoreException) {
    notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.TLSERROR);
    } else {
    notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.HTTPERROR);
    }
    }


    The ExecutionException at the end now retains the exception messages, causes and stacktraces. In case there's any unexpected errors you need to debug, you can also log this exception as well notifying the observers.

      You could use a CompletableFuture for this. Make each call return a completed future with the body, or an exceptionally completed future with an error:



      private CompletableFuture<String> call(String url) {
      CompletableFuture<String> future = new CompletableFuture<>();

      OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().connectTimeout(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS).build();
      client.newCall(requestbuilder.url(url).build()).enqueue(new Callback() {
      @Override
      public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
      future.completeExceptionally(e);
      }

      @Override
      public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) {
      try {
      ResponseBody body = response.body();
      if (response.code() != 200 || body == null) {
      throw new IOException("Http error");
      } else {
      future.complete(body.string());
      }
      } catch (IOException | JsonSyntaxException e) {
      future.completeExceptionally(e);
      }
      }
      });

      return future;
      }


      Then add a generic method to make the calls and deserialize the results:



      private <T> Future<T> callAndDeserialize(String url, Gson gson, TypeToken<T> typeToken) {
      CompletableFuture<String> future = call(url);
      return future.thenApply(new Function<String, T>() {
      public T apply(String body) {
      return gson.fromJson(body, typeToken.getType()));
      }
      });
      }


      The loadRepository code would then be something like:



      final Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().registerTypeHierarchyAdapter(Calendar.class, new CalendarGson()).create();

      Future<List<Article>> articlesFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
      Future<List<Event>> eventsFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Event>>() {});
      Future<List<Article>> sportsFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
      Future<List<Article>> fitnessFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
      Future<List<Article>> governmentFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<List<Article>>() {});
      Future<Article> mainArticleFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<Article>() {});
      Future<Configuration> configurationFuture = callAndDeserialize("https://apiurlarticles", gson, new TypeToken<Configuration>() {});

      try {
      articles = articlesFuture.get();
      events = eventsFuture.get();
      sportArticles = sportsFuture.get();
      fitnessArticles = fitnessFuture.get();
      governmentArticles = governmentFuture.get();
      mainArticle = mainArticleFuture.get();
      config = configurationFuture.get();

      notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.OK);
      } catch (ExecutionException e) {
      if(e.getCause() instanceof KeyManagementException || e.getCause() instanceof NoSuchAlgorithmException || e.getCause() instanceof KeyStoreException) {
      notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.TLSERROR);
      } else {
      notifyObservers(HTTPRequestStatus.HTTPERROR);
