Android Question Need Info Before Buying a Service

[tufanv]

Hello,

I am talking with a data feeder company in my country which provides real time finance data like currencies,gold,silver etc..
Before buying the data feed service, I asked them what kind of system they use to provide the data.

I could not get a complete answer but they are saying that they use amazon cloud servers to provide data ( they were previously using xml feed but they say this is more stable ) , they say you have to authenticate with basic authentication and later use GET parameters to receive json responses.

Normally i work with httputils2 and use get and receive json responses without problem but what is the basic authentication ? Can I do it within my app with httputils easily ? If you have information, can you please describe it shortly ?

Thanks

Yes, you can use OkHttpUtils2 based on this description. You just need to set Job.Username and password. GET requests = Job.Download.

Thank you Erel ! It seems easy. I will ask them again the details to be sure.
