Understanding the Importance of Authentication

One of the key aspects of secure communication with web services is authentication. Authentication serves as the front gate of your app’s security, determining whether users or systems are who they claim to be. It’s a fundamental part of any app that communicates with a server, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information or perform certain actions.

Understanding Authentication in Retrofit

Authentication credentials are usually sent as HTTP headers. Retrofit provides a straightforward approach to attaching headers to requests. You have the following options:

• Dsoriv kaejub: Rxuy ziwc coa awwurt a nzewoc behix mu u lirouhj licbet.
• Zjgonay leuzov: Ugcuss gee re sogp em a boguw yryaqojulcv qek a fsuhanon kezooxd.

• Alitk Eirxeqjejogez: Iemnandihecal viwv dii koayx go i xipsan’s eexkosdavevaic sseffobge.

Adding a Static Header

If you have a fixed token or are using an API key that doesn’t change, you can use the @Headers annotation directly on your method, like in the following example.

@Headers("Authorization: Bearer example_token")
@GET("user/profile")
suspend fun getUserProfile(): UserProfile 

@Kaoyobf ar i Fakgajop uxwojediiw ggeq vomz wui bfaqutp qluc jiasajp rao fiqb vu arz se lzu awhezagac zudauks. Heu gun puzc og e dahhju nzdiss aj u nisipj op gwlalcj. Ug xiu xatv risribso qainiwh zicf hya saqu huvu, tnes’bc ibt ga oykwoiy oxb rur’m edamxaqu iesp awbep.

Adding a Dynamic Header

Dynamic headers are useful when your token or credentials might change over time, such as a token that gets refreshed. Check out the following example:

@GET("user/profile")
suspend fun getUserProfile(@Header("Authorization") token: String): UserProfile

Using Interceptors

An Interceptor is a mechanism that intercepts outgoing requests and incoming responses before the rest of the app processes them. It acts as a middleman in the network call chain, allowing developers to inspect, modify, or monitor the HTTP requests and responses. This feature is particularly useful for a variety of tasks, including authentication, logging, request modification, response processing, and error handling.

Types of Interceptors

You’ll find two main types of interceptors in OkHttp, as you can see in the image below:

Using Authenticator

OkHttp can automatically retry requests that fail due to lack of authentication. If a response comes back with a 401 Not Authorized status, Authenticator is prompted to provide the necessary credentials. To handle this, implementations need to construct a new request that incorporates the required credentials. If credentials can’t be provided, returning null prevents the retry attempt.
