Pass Custom HTTP Headers for Android

Library Mobile SDK for Android allows you to add custom HTTP headers to each request. Customized request headers are useful for adding additional information in requests made by the Library Mobile client. An example would be adding special authentication information, such as authentication tokens from other authentication servers, to the headers of HTTP requests. These requests are sent to the MicroStrategy Library server.

Retrieve the CustomizedHttpHeader util class to access the dictionary that stores custom HTTP headers.

The following methods are exposed via the com.microstrategy.android.model.config.CustomizedHttpHeader class with related customized HTTP headers:
