How to send request with android volley basic auth?

i want to send a request with basic auth.

My header

Username       :        EBA
Token          :       34242353453456563DSFS

And my gsonRequestClass like this :

public GsonRequest(int method, String url, Class<T> responseClass,
                       Map<String, String> parameters, Map<String, String> headers, Listener<T> listener,
                       ErrorListener errorListener) {
        super(method, url, errorListener);
        this.mListener = listener;
        this.mResponseClass = responseClass;
        this.mParameters = parameters;
        this.mHeaders = headers;
    }

    /**
     * Header getter method
     *
     * @return
     * @throws AuthFailureError
     */
    @Override
    public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
        return mHeaders != null ? mHeaders : super.getHeaders();
    }

Any advice or sample code please ?

If you want to authenticate a token the api providers like google, yahoo, facebook, twitter .. etc etc provides code samples for all of the server-side languages like PHP, JAVA, etc etc and you are not required to use volley.

But as you have asked question on volley and i have been developed so many android apps using volley, i am starting answer to the volley :

I am assuming..

  1. You have linked the volley jar dependency successfully.
  2. You have your web server set up and running
  3. You want to login to your own server with these credentials Username : EBA and password : 34242353453456563DSFS
  4. And you want a response for this login request or want to get some data as reply to this request.

Here we go...

Java code to make a http request to a server page :

    StringRequest stringRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.POST, "https://www.yourserver.com/get_auth.php", 
new Response.Listener<String>()
{
    @Override
    public void onResponse(String response)
    {
        serverResponse = response;

        // get response string here; if successful

        Toast.makeText(getActivity(),response,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
},
new Response.ErrorListener()
{
    @Override
    public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error)
    {
        serverResponse = error.toString();

        // If request could not be placed then error report here

        Toast.makeText(getActivity(),error.toString(),Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
})

{
@Override
protected Map<String,String> getParams()
{
    Map<String,String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
    params.put("Username",FirstLast);
    params.put("Token",EmailField.getText().toString());
    return params;
}};

RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getActivity());
requestQueue.add(stringRequest);

If you have success in importing library... above code will just need to auto insert library by placing cursor over below two lines and use OPT + RETURN on mac; which will import and include necessary packages for your above request.

On your web server get_auth.php should be like :

<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST')
{
    $UserInput = $_POST['Username'];
    $UserId = $_POST['Token'];

    $con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "id4859061_instapromo", "sandhya12345","id4859061_instapromo");

    if (!$con)
    {
        echo "EXCEPTION_CODE_1";
        exit();
    }

    $result = $con->query("SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE `DEVID` = '$UserId' AND `KEYGEN` = '$UserInput'");

    if (!$result)
    {
        echo "EXCEPTION_CODE_2";
        exit();
    }
    if ($result->num_rows == 0)
    {
        echo "FAILURE";
        exit();
    }
    if ($result->num_rows == 1)
    {
        $row = $result->fetch_assoc();
        $TempThisDate = $row["VALUEDATE"];

        $InstDate = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y',$TempThisDate);
        $InstallDate = $InstDate->format('d-m-Y');

        $Response = "SUCCESS#".$InstallDate;
        echo $Response;
        exit();
    }
    if ($result->num_rows > 1)
    {
        echo "REDUNDANT_RECORDS_FOUND";
        exit();
    }

}
else
{
   echo "EXCEPTION_CODE_3";
}

In this way from web-server you have to echo / json your data back to requesting app

Java code already toasts this server response sent from PHP page. This is a basic working and step by step example.. I hope you or someone else find this useful.
