Setting up Retrofit 2 and running it in Android is easy, but at times it gets trickier when you work in production environment where you’ll be working with backends that use Authorisation Headers, Basic Authentication & SSL enabled API’s. I am a freelance android developer and I’ll be sharing few insights on how to setup these based on my experience.
Logging Interceptor
Retrofit 1 had an inbuilt logging feature which was removed in Retrofit 2 initially, but upon request logging interceptor was added in release 2.6.0.

Having worked in Android for a year+ now, I would like to take you through this change right from the start to how it is seen from the Android perspective. Here we go!
