How to specify a default user agent for okhttp 2.x requests

Question

I am using okhttp 2.0 in my Android app and didn\'t find a way to set some common User Agent for all outgoing requests.

I thought I could do something like

Answer 1

Based on @josketres answer, here is a similar Interceptor for OkHttp version 3

public class UserAgentInterceptor implements Interceptor {
    private final String mUserAgent;

    public UserAgentInterceptor(String userAgent) {
        mUserAgent = userAgent;
    }

    @Override
    public Response intercept(@NonNull Chain chain) throws IOException {
        Request request = chain.request()
                .newBuilder()
                .header("User-Agent", mUserAgent)
                .build();
        return chain.proceed(request);
    }
}

Plus the updated test:

@Test
public void testUserAgentIsSetInRequestHeader() throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    final String expectedUserAgent = "foo/bar";

    MockWebServer server = new MockWebServer();
    server.enqueue(new MockResponse().setBody("OK"));
    server.start();

    OkHttpClient.Builder okHttpBuilder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
    okHttpBuilder.addInterceptor(new UserAgentInterceptor(expectedUserAgent));
    Request request = new Request.Builder().url(server.url("/").url()).build();
    ResponseBody result = okHttpBuilder.build().newCall(request).execute().body();
    assertNotNull(result);
    assertEquals("OK", result.string());

    assertEquals(expectedUserAgent, server.takeRequest().getHeader("User-Agent"));
}
