No HTTP request is send from retrofit /Android/

I'm trying to send data to an API from my Android project using Retrofit. Everything seems to work without errors but no http request leaves the application. I can confirm this with Wireshark screening and API console log. Here is an example pseudo code of this parts of my application: 

// sample code

findViewById(R.id.submit_btn).setOnClickListener(this);

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    int i = v.getId();
    if (i == R.id.submit_btn){
        Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, HomeActivity.class);

        // myObj is class storing several values and it is defined in separate class
        MyObj obj = new MyObj(** some attributes here **);

        Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl("http://api.address")
                .client(new OkHttpClient())
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .build();

        MyAPI api = retrofit.create(MyAPI.class);

        Call<Void> upload = api.newObj(obj);

        startActivity(intent);
        finish();
    }

Not sure what I'm missing. Any ideas?

P.S. here are the dependencies used by the app for this part:

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.1.0'
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.6.2'
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:converter-gson:2.1.0'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.1'

You never enqueue or execute the call, to perform asynchronous call to server use upload.enqueue(new CallBack here) to perform synchronous immediately use upload.execute()

This only prepares the request, not sends it. 

Call<Void> upload = api.newObj(obj);

Try making upload.enqueue()
