I ve not met that particular package before  but it says it s for client-side HTTP authentication  which I ve been able to do on Android using the java net APIs  like so   Authenticator setDefault new Authenticator        protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication             return new PasswordAuthentication  myuser   mypass  toCharArray              HttpURLConnection c    HttpURLConnection  new URL url  openConnection    c setUseCaches false   c connect      Obviously your getPasswordAuthentication   should probably do something more intelligent than returning a constant   If you re trying to make a request with a body  e g  POST  with authentication  beware of Android issue 4326  I ve linked a suggested fix to the platform there  but there s a simple workaround if you only want Basic auth  don t bother with Authenticator  and instead do this   c setRequestProperty  Authorization    basic             Base64 encode  myuser mypass  getBytes    Base64 NO WRAP

Manual method works well with import android util Base64  but be sure to set Base64 NO WRAP on calling encode   String basicAuth    Basic     new String Base64 encode  user pass  getBytes   Base64 NO WRAP     connection setRequestProperty   Authorization   basicAuth
