@androidgal We are currently discussing this functionality in the following pull request. I've also created a JIRA for it.

Why do not use android build-in apache httpclient? I think spring android can handle several features, but for the basic usage, the basic android package is helpful.

Thanks for add support for basic authentication in 1.0.0.RC1 Released.

Are there any sample for use about that?

thanks.

@jiechu there is built in support, using the Authenticator class [1]. However, there are also issues with regard to this on versions prior to Gingerbread [2]. Still, I'll look into leveraging the Authenticator class where it can be used.

@androidgal there are no samples available yet, but I've added a task to include one [3].
