Android Volley GET Request with username and password fails

The following Android Volley GET Request is failing with the following error message:

E/Volley: [1038] BasicNetwork.performRequest: Unexpected response code 401 for

This is the Request:

    RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(getActivity());
    final String url = "https://xxxxxxxx/storage/v1/items";

    JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET,url, null, new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {

        @Override
        public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
            try {
                StringBuilder formattedResult = new StringBuilder();
                JSONArray responseJSONArray = response.getJSONArray("items");
                for (int i = 0; i < responseJSONArray.length(); i++) {
                    formattedResult.append("\n" + responseJSONArray.getJSONObject(i).get("no") + "=> \t" + responseJSONArray.getJSONObject(i).get("ean")
                            + "=> \t" + responseJSONArray.getJSONObject(i).get("name")
                            + "=> \t" + responseJSONArray.getJSONObject(i).get("type")
                            + "=> \t" + responseJSONArray.getJSONObject(i).get("destruction")
                            + "=> \t" + responseJSONArray.getJSONObject(i).get("archived")
                    );
                }
                txtShowTextResult.setText("List of Items \n" + " Number" + "\t EAN \n" +
                        "\t Name \n" +  "\t Type \n" + formattedResult);
            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }, new Response.ErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
            txtShowTextResult.setText("An Error occured while making the request");
        }
        public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
            Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<>();
            String credentials = "username:password";
            String auth = "Basic "
                    + Base64.encodeToString(credentials.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);
            headers.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
            headers.put("Authorization", auth);
            return headers;
        }
    });

    requestQueue.add(jsonObjectRequest);

I am not sure why the Request is failing, as I am new to Android Volley.

Possible cause: the method getHeaders() is not called, but I don´t know where to put the Method call in the Request and therefore, I would appreciate any help, hints or feedback. Thanks in advance!

Adding the missing part at your code you can try out the following. Notice the override part of getHeaders, let me know how it goes.

JsonObjectRequest jsonObjectRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.GET, url, null,
                new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
                        //handle response
                    }
                }
                , new Response.ErrorListener() {
            @Override
            public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
                //handle error
            }
        }){
            @NotNull
            @Override
            public Map<String, String> getHeaders() {
                //Handle headers inside here
                Map<String, String> headers = new HashMap<>();
                String credentials = "username:password";
                String auth = "Basic "
                        + Base64.encodeToString(credentials.getBytes(), Base64.NO_WRAP);
                headers.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
                headers.put("Authorization", auth);
                return headers;
            }
        };

        requestQueue.add(jsonObjectRequest);
