[@rezazeraati1436]

Dear guy, please explain how can we do URL manipulation and make our endpoint dynamic, like we do in retrofit. I didn't see these in the documentation

[@ldickmanns]

Thanks for the suggestion! You mean having a service that can access multiple different API endpoints, right?

[@rezazeraati1436]

@@ldickmanns kind of yes. in android. when for example we have a long list of movies and we need different calls for getting the details of the specific movie that we clicked on. thanks

[@michaberkowicz8239]

We need to install Client ContentNegotiation instead of JsonFeature in current version of Ktor

[@ethiomusic3158]

How do I make "Rate Us" and "Send App" in Kotlin language?... I did it in many ways but it doesn't go directly to Google Play Store.... I need help guys!... Right code in fragment... I hope many of you did it if you are app developers by Kotlin

[@ldickmanns]

Actually I didn’t do that before, but with a quick google search I found this: stackoverflow.com/questions/12998268/how-to-implement-rate-us-in-android
Does that help you?

[@rezazeraati1436]

please explain in Android Studio environment🌷

[@ldickmanns]

So a video on how to use Ktor in an Android app you mean?

[@rezazeraati1436]

@@ldickmanns yes. and how we can dynamically change the endpoint of our API for example when making a movie app, and we want to get the detail of a movie that we clicked on. I mean the URL manipulation that we do by retrofit. I can't do that with KTOR. there must be a way to do that with KTOR also. thank you

[@rezazeraati1436]

for example we have a card that is a movie that we get from our API, and now we want to make a new request and get the download links of the specific movie that we clicked on. I do this with retrofit and Gson, but there is a lot of code. KTOR with serialization make the code a lot shorter. I like to know how to do it by KTOR. thank you very much🌹

[@rezazeraati1436]

I just say the movie for just saying an example. I just want to learn making different requests on a list that we make by a LazyColumn or LazyRow. so then I can work with APIs easier with less code and a new and better way.🌺

[@footballCartoon91]

Nowadays, ktor uses "ContentNegotiation" instead. How to go about this way.

[@thourayasboui376]

hi, and if we add request = Request.Builder() .url().addHeader("Accept", "application/json") .addHeader().header().post(postBody.toRequestBody(mediaType)).build() before the HTTP-Client section please. what we are doing? are we calling the server?? or sending some parameters to the servers? thanks.

[@ldickmanns]

Where did you find that code?
At first glance, it looks like you’re just building a request using the builder pattern :)

[@mouhamadbourouba5382]

can i do this inside Ktor Api

[@ldickmanns]

What do you mean?
