Retrofit and OkHttp basic authentication

Question

I am trying to add basic authentication (username and password) to a Retrofit OkHttp client. This is the code I have so far:

private static Retrofit createMM

Find the Solution

1.Write a Interceptor class

import java.io.IOException;
import okhttp3.Credentials;
import okhttp3.Interceptor;
import okhttp3.Request;
import okhttp3.Response;

public class BasicAuthInterceptor implements Interceptor {

    private String credentials;

    public BasicAuthInterceptor(String user, String password) {
        this.credentials = Credentials.basic(user, password);
    }

    @Override
    public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
        Request request = chain.request();
        Request authenticatedRequest = request.newBuilder()
            .header("Authorization", credentials).build();
        return chain.proceed(authenticatedRequest);
    }

}

2.Finally, add the interceptor to an OkHttp client

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
    .addInterceptor(new BasicAuthInterceptor(username, password))
    .build();
