How to use interceptor to add Headers in Retrofit 2.0?

Solution 1:

Check this out.

public class HeaderInterceptor implements Interceptor {
    @Override
    public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
        Request request = chain.request()
                .newBuilder()
                .addHeader("appid", "hello")
                .addHeader("deviceplatform", "android")
                .removeHeader("User-Agent")
                .addHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0")
                .build();
        Response response = chain.proceed(request);
        return response;
    }
}

Kotlin

class HeaderInterceptor : Interceptor {
    override fun intercept(chain: Interceptor.Chain): Response = chain.run {
        proceed(
            request()
                .newBuilder()
                .addHeader("appid", "hello")
                .addHeader("deviceplatform", "android")
                .removeHeader("User-Agent")
                .addHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0")
                .build()
        )        
    }
}

Another alternative from the accepted answer

public class HeaderInterceptor implements Interceptor {

    @Override
    public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
        Request request = chain.request();

        request = request.newBuilder()
                .addHeader("headerKey0", "HeaderVal0")
                .addHeader("headerKey0", "HeaderVal0--NotReplaced/NorUpdated") //new header added
                .build();

        //alternative
        Headers moreHeaders = request.headers().newBuilder()
                .add("headerKey1", "HeaderVal1")
                .add("headerKey2", "HeaderVal2")
                .set("headerKey2", "HeaderVal2--UpdatedHere") // existing header UPDATED if available, else added.
                .add("headerKey3", "HeaderKey3")
                .add("headerLine4 : headerLine4Val") //line with `:`, spaces doesn't matter.
                .removeAll("headerKey3") //Oops, remove this.
                .build();

        request = request.newBuilder().headers(moreHeaders).build();

        /* ##### List of headers ##### */
        // headerKey0: HeaderVal0
        // headerKey0: HeaderVal0--NotReplaced/NorUpdated
        // headerKey1: HeaderVal1
        // headerKey2: HeaderVal2--UpdatedHere
        // headerLine4: headerLine4Val

        Response response = chain.proceed(request);
        return response;
    }
}

                    .build();
            return getService(defaultHttpClient);
        }
        private static Headers getJsonHeader(String authToken) {
            Headers.Builder builder = new Headers.Builder();
            builder.add("Content-Type", "application/json");
            builder.add("Accept", "application/json");
            if (authToken != null && !authToken.isEmpty()) {
                builder.add("X-MY-Auth", authToken);
            }
            return builder.build();
        }
        private static Authenticator getBasicAuthenticator(final String userName, final String password) {
            return (route, response) -> {
                String credential = Credentials.basic(userName, password);
                return response.request().newBuilder().header("Authorization", credential).build();
            };
        }
          private static ApiClient getService(OkHttpClient defaultHttpClient) {
            return new Retrofit.Builder()
                    .baseUrl(BASE_URL)
                    .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                    .addCallAdapterFactory(RxJavaCallAdapterFactory.create())
                    .client(defaultHttpClient)
                    .build()
                    .create(ApiClient.class);
        }
