从Apache Http客户端旧版迁移到OkHttp

Question

I'm migrating some code from the Apache HTTP client to OkHttp as the Apache client was deprecated in API 23 and now, in API 29 totally eliminated. In general I'm not having too many problems but there's a line for which I can't find an equivalent:

myHttpPost.addHeader(new BasicScheme().authenticate(
                    new UsernamePasswordCredentials(myUser, myPassword), HttpPost));

I've debugged this line and it generates a String similar to this one:

Authorization: Basic RU5YRU5EUkEASDASDQWEQFASkLTk2ZjgtOTASDQWEkMWNkYTA1

Reading about it in the documentation I can see that the authenticate method:

Produces an authorization string for the given set of Credentials

And that the UsernamePasswordCredentials basically creates that credentials from my user and password but I can't find the equivalent in OkHttp, anyone has faced this problem?

I have managed to find a class in the OkHttp docs , an Authenticator , but I'm not really sure it's what I'm looking for.

You're looking for Credentials.basic() .

        String credential = Credentials.basic("jesse", "password1");
        return Request.Builder()
            .header("Authorization", credential)
            ...
            .build();
