After implementing that POST call to register a user, it’s time to implement a GET call, to fetch the tasks or notes from the server.

@GET("/api/note")
fun getNotes(@Header("Authorization") token: String): Call<ResponseBody>

apiService.getNotes(App.getToken()).enqueue(object : Callback<ResponseBody> {
  override fun onFailure(call: Call<ResponseBody>, error: Throwable) {
  }

  override fun onResponse(call: Call<ResponseBody>, response: Response<ResponseBody>) {
  }
})

apiService.getNotes(App.getToken()).enqueue(object : Callback<ResponseBody> {
  override fun onFailure(call: Call<ResponseBody>, error: Throwable) {
    onTasksReceived(emptyList(), error)
  }

  override fun onResponse(call: Call<ResponseBody>, response: Response<ResponseBody>) {
    val jsonBody = response.body()?.string()

    if (jsonBody == null) {
      onTasksReceived(emptyList(), NullPointerException("No data available!"))
      return
    }

    val data = gson.fromJson(jsonBody, GetTasksResponse::class.java)

    if (data != null && data.notes.isNotEmpty()) {
      onTasksReceived(data.notes.filter { !it.isCompleted }, null)
    } else {
      onTasksReceived(emptyList(), NullPointerException("No data available!"))
    }
  }
})

}
