retrofit authorization basic auth
Introduction
Retrofit is a popular library in the Android development world that simplifies the process of sending network requests to a RESTful API. One of its features is the ability to authenticate requests using the Basic Auth scheme. Basic Auth is an HTTP scheme used to authenticate API requests by sending a base64 encoded string containing the username and password in the "Authorization" header of the request.
This document will provide a comprehensive guide on how to use Retrofit Authorization Basic Auth.
Step 1: Add Retrofit library to project
Before we can use Retrofit, we need to add the Retrofit library to our project. To do this, we will add the following dependency to our project'adle file:
dependencies {    implementation 'fit2:retrofit:2.9.0' }
android retrofitStep 2: Define API endpoint
Next, we need to define an API endpoint for the request we want to make. This could be any valid RESTful API endpoint, but for the sake of simplicity, we will use a fictional endpoint that returns a list of users. We will define this endpoint in a new interface like this:
public interface UserApiInterface {    @GET("/users")    Call<List<User>> getUsers(); }
Step 3: Add Basic Authentication header
Now that we have defined our API endpoint, we need to add the Basic Auth header to our request. To do this, we will create an OkHttpClient object and set it as the default client for our Retrofit instance. We will also create an interceptor to add the Authorization header to the request. Here is how to do it:
OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder(); httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {    @Override    public Response intercept(Ch
ain chain) throws IOException {        Request original = quest();        Request.Builder requestBuilder = wBuilder()            .header("Authorization", "Basic " + deToString("username:password".getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP))            .hod(), original.body());        Request request = requestBuilder.build();        return chain.proceed(request);    } });
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()        .baseUrl(BASE_URL)        .ate())        .client(httpClient.build())        .build();
Note that you need to replace "username:password" with your actual username and password. The Base64 encoding process takes care of encoding the credentials to the required format.
Step 4: Make the API call
With our API endpoint defined and the Basic Auth header added to our request, we are no
w ready to make the API call. We will use ate() method to create an instance of our UserApiInterface class, and then call the getUsers() method to initiate the request. Here is how to do it:
UserApiInterface apiService = ate(UserApiInterface.class); Call<List<User>> call = Users(); queue(new Callback<List<User>>() {    @Override    public void onResponse(Call<List<User>> call, Response<List<User>> response) {        if (response.isSuccessful()) {            List<User> users = response.body();            // process the list of users        } else {            // handle error        }    }
    @Override    public void onFailure(Call<List<User>> call, Throwable t) {        // handle error    } });
Conclusion
Using Retrofit Authorization Basic Auth is a simple and effective way to authenticate requests to a RESTful API. By adding the Basic Auth header to our request, we can ensur
e that our requests are secure and our data is protected. This guide has provided a step-by-step process of how to use Retrofit Authorization Basic Auth to make API requests, but there are many other ways to authenticate requests with Retrofit depending on the API's requirements.
