How to read header from response and store it for every future request?

[yduman]

Hi,
I have a JWT token that I get from a login response. For authentication, I need to set that token for every request later on until that token gets deleted on logout.

How can I read that token, without providing it on JSON body and store it for every future request?

I am quite new with Android development and until now I had really good experience with volley. Now I am struggling at this use case. Any help would be appreciated!

Have a nice day!

i think...

you can read the token header from NetworkResponse#headers :

@Override
    protected Response<String> parseNetworkResponse(NetworkResponse response) {
        String token = response.headers.get("token");
        ...
    }

if you want to set this token for every request ,you can define a new subclass of Request, just like StringRequest,and put the token in headers:

class TokenRequest extends Request{
    @Override
    public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
        Map<String, String> headers = Collections.emptyMap();
        headers.put("xxxxxxxxxx", getToken());
        return headers;
    }
}
