Android Time API with Kotlin

Android developers often use Retrofit for networking. Here is a simple interface definition to consume the Time.Now API and map it to a data class.

KOTLIN

data class TimeResponse(
    val datetime: String,
    val timezone: String,
    val unixtime: Long
)

interface TimeApiService {
    @GET("timezone/{area}/{location}")
    suspend fun getTime(
        @Path("area") area: String,
        @Path("location") location: String
    ): TimeResponse
}

// Usage inside a Coroutine
val time = api.getTime("America", "New_York")
Log.d("API", "NYC Time: ${time.datetime}")

Why use Time.Now for Mobile?

Coroutine support
Clean architecture
Type-safe response
