Answer 1

You have two choices -- you can add it as a parameter to your call --

@GET("api/Profiles/GetProfile?id={id}")
Call getUser(@Path("id") String id, @Header("Authorization") String authHeader);

This can be a bit annoying because you will have to pass in the "Bearer" + token on each call. This is suitable if you don't have very many calls that require the token.

If you want to add the header to all requests, you can use an okhttp interceptor --

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder().addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
      @Override
      public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
        Request newRequest  = chain.request().newBuilder()
            .addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
            .build();
        return chain.proceed(newRequest);
      }
    }).build();

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
    .client(client)
    .baseUrl(/** your url **/)
    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
    .build();
