Add Header Parameter in Retrofit

Question

I\'m trying to call an API which requires me to pass in an API key.

My Service call using HttpURLConnection is working perfectly.

url = new URL(\"htt         


        

Answer 1

Try this type header for Retrofit 1.9 and 2.0. For Json Content Type.

@Headers({"Accept: application/json"})
@POST("user/classes")
Call addToPlaylist(@Body PlaylistParm parm);

You can add many more headers i.e

@Headers({
        "Accept: application/json",
        "User-Agent: Your-App-Name",
        "Cache-Control: max-age=640000"
    })

Dynamically Add to headers:

@POST("user/classes")
Call addToPlaylist(@Header("Content-Type") String content_type, @Body RequestModel req);

Call you method i.e

mAPI.addToPlayList("application/json", playListParam);

Or

Want to pass everytime then Create HttpClient object with http Interceptor:

OkHttpClient httpClient = new OkHttpClient();
        httpClient.networkInterceptors().add(new Interceptor() {
            @Override
            public com.squareup.okhttp.Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
                Request.Builder requestBuilder = chain.request().newBuilder();
                requestBuilder.header("Content-Type", "application/json");
                return chain.proceed(requestBuilder.build());
            }
        });

Then add to retrofit object

Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder().baseUrl(BASE_URL).client(httpClient).build();

UPDATE if you are using Kotlin remove the { } else it will not work
