This code is using OkHttp to make a request to your API. Its like putting "google.com" into your address bar. When you invoke call.execute() this is like typing enter or clicking the go button in your browser, It performs the actual call and eventually returns some response. If your response is a success you are logging a part of the info to the console, otherwise your doing nothing. If you throw an Exception anywhere in the try block you are catching it in the Catch block so it doesnt stop the app and logging the exception out to the console.
