Look at your definition, it needs a return type on the method declaration. And the return statement tells you what type it is actually returning.

Java

public static getApiInterface(); // this needs a return type
{

if (retrofit==null)
{

retrofit= new Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl(ApiInterface.BASE_URL).
addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create()).build();

}

return retrofit.create(ApiInterface.class); // and this is what you are trying to return


}
