How can custom headers be set for a Volley request? At the moment, there is way to set body content for a POST request. I've a simple GET request, but I need to pass the custom headers alongwith. I don't see how JsonRequest class supports it. Is it possible at all?
The accepted answer with getParams() is for setting POST body data, but the question in the title asked how to set HTTP headers like User-Agent. As CommonsWare said, you override getHeaders(). Here's some sample code which sets the User-Agent to 'Nintendo Gameboy' and Accept-Language to 'fr':
public void requestWithSomeHttpHeaders() {
RequestQueue queue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
String url = "http://www.somewebsite.com";
StringRequest getRequest = new StringRequest(Request.Method.GET, url,
new Response.Listener<String>()
{
@Override
public void onResponse(String response) {
// response
Log.d("Response", response);
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener()
{
@Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d("ERROR","error => "+error.toString());
}
}
) {
@Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("User-Agent", "Nintendo Gameboy");
params.put("Accept-Language", "fr");
return params;
}
};
queue.add(getRequest);
}
