[FIXED] How to create simple okhttp3 websocket connection?

Issue

Can someone please show me an example on how to establish the connection to the wss:// address with specific Authorization header, using okhttp3 okhttp-ws library?

All I have is the url of WS server and Authorization string token.

Later, I must be able to send request to that connection, listen to upcoming data from WS server and than close connection. I have a difficulties with this new to me WS world, always been working only with REST (with okhttp3 too)

Solution

So generally this sample is most of what you need

https://github.com/square/okhttp/blob/master/samples/guide/src/main/java/okhttp3/recipes/WebSocketEcho.java

But you will have two changes

1. Use wss instead of ws in your URL

2. Call request.addHeader to add your token

   request.addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
