Generated TypeAdapterFactory and null safety about auto-value-gson HOT 8 CLOSED

Below is a quick solution for anyone else that hits this before #23 is completed.

@GsonTypeAdapterFactory
public abstract class AutoValueAdapterFactory implements TypeAdapterFactory {

  public static TypeAdapterFactory create() {
    final TypeAdapterFactory factory = new AutoValueGson_AutoValueAdapterFactory();

    return new TypeAdapterFactory() {
      @Override
      public <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, TypeToken<T> type) {
        TypeAdapter<T> typeAdapter = factory.create(gson, type);
        return typeAdapter != null ? typeAdapter.nullSafe() : null;
      }
    };
  }
}

from auto-value-gson.

You could submit a PR if you've got the code. Otherwise I'll have to add that.

Are you saying that we should attach nullSafe() to every AutoValue typeAdapter mentioned in the generated Factory i.e. in the annotation processor?

Also, there's this PR #23 that presumably eliminates the need to use nullSafe() completely.

@jachenry Thanks, I've been doing the same.

Hi @jachenry

Please can you explain to me with more details..

I have my factory like this:

public class AutoValueGsonTyeAdapterFactory implements TypeAdapterFactory {

public <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, TypeToken<T> type) {
    Class<? super T> rawType = type.getRawType();

    if (rawType.equals(MGuest.class)) {
        return (TypeAdapter<T>) MGuest.typeAdapter(gson);
    }

    if(rawType.equals(MTicket.class)){
        return (TypeAdapter<T>) MTicket.typeAdapter(gson);
    }

    return null;
}

}

Then I have your abstract class that contains my class

@GsonTypeAdapterFactory
public abstract class AutoValueAdapterFactory implements TypeAdapterFactory {

public static TypeAdapterFactory create() {
    final TypeAdapterFactory factory = new **AutoValueGsonTyeAdapterFactory();**

    return new TypeAdapterFactory() {
        @Override
        public <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, TypeToken<T> type) {
            TypeAdapter<T> typeAdapter = factory.create(gson, type);
            return typeAdapter != null ? typeAdapter.nullSafe() : null;
        }
    };
}

}

And finally I need to call this classes in my GsonConverterFactory, but in this point I really don't now how to call the abstract class...

public static GsonConverterFactory gsonConverterFactory = GsonConverterFactory.create(
new GsonBuilder()
.registerTypeAdapterFactory(MyTypeAdapterFactory)
.create());

Can you help me in this last step?

@jjimenez0611 You'll want to call the static create() method on AutoValueAdapterFactory.

@GsonTypeAdapterFactory
public abstract class AutoValueAdapterFactory implements TypeAdapterFactory {

public static TypeAdapterFactory create() {
    final TypeAdapterFactory factory = new AutoValueGson_AutoValueAdapterFactory();

    return new TypeAdapterFactory() {
        @Override
        public <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, TypeToken<T> type) {
            TypeAdapter<T> typeAdapter = factory.create(gson, type);
            return typeAdapter != null ? typeAdapter.nullSafe() : null;
        }
    };
}

new GsonBuilder()
    .registerTypeAdapterFactory(AutoValueAdapterFactory.create())
    .create()

@jachenry, thanks I really appreciate your help, now I understand.
