Android OkHttp with Basic Authentication

Question

I\'m using the OkHttp library for a new project and am impressed with its ease of use. I now have a need to use Basic Authentication. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of w

This is a snippet for OkHttp Client:

  OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
               .authenticator(new Authenticator() {
              @Override public Request authenticate(Route route, Response 
   response) throws IOException {
                   if (response.request().header("Authorization") != null) {
                      return null; // Give up, we've already attempted to 
   authenticate.
                   }

                  System.out.println("Authenticating for response: " + response);
                  System.out.println("Challenges: " + response.challenges());
                   String credential = Credentials.basic(username, password);
                   return response.request().newBuilder()
                           .header("Authorization", credential)
                           .build();
               }
           }) .build();

Do a request now. Basic auth will go as client already has that.

    Request request = new Request.Builder().url(JIRAURI+"/issue/"+key).build();
                client.newCall(request).enqueue(new Callback() {
                    @Override
                   public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {
                       System.out.println("onFailure: "+e.toString());
                    }

                @Override
                public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
                    System.out.println( "onResponse: "+response.body().string());

                }
            });
