Catch statement's "IOException e" is red underlined, what's the problem:
@Override public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException { try { if(response.isSuccessful()) { Log.v(TAG, response.body().toString()); } } catch (IOException e) { Log.e(TAG, "Exception Caught", e); } }

// YOUR CODE
// Uses Java toString() method, does not throw IOException
// May throw a different type of exception!
Log.v(TAG, response.body().toString());
// ORIGINAL CODE
// Uses string() method of okhttp/ResponseBody object, throws IOException
Log.v(TAG, response.body().string());
It's a bit confusing that the ResponseBody object has a method that is so similarly named to a standard Object method! It does do something different than toString() though. You can see the code on GitHub.

Courses Plus Student 1,194 PointsI had this same problem, was using toString() instead of string(). Thanks!
