the following code : 

HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
try{
HttpGet request = new HttpGet(x);
request.setHeader("Authorization", "Basic:accound id");
ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
String responseBody = client.execute(request, responseHandler);
System.out.println(responseBody);
}

the code should be something like

String accountKey = "xxxxxxxxxxx";
byte[] accountKeyBytes = Base64.encodeBase64((accountKey + ":" + accountKey).getBytes());      String accountKeyEnc = new String(accountKeyBytes);
request.setHeader("Authorization",
                "Basic" + " "+accountKeyEnc);

The authorization header needs to be Base64 encoded; username is left empty, password is account id.
