Any one can help me for implement digest authentication using Google Volley for web service calling (REST).

Answer 1

Both HTTP-authentications use simple header entities. I have not tried this by myself, but i assume all you need to implement is to provide header with Digest-specific format in your custom request like this:

public class MyRequest<T> extends Request<T> {
...
    @Override
    public Map<String,String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
        Map<String,String> headers = new HashMap<String,String>();
        headers.put("Authorization", "Digest " + getAuthorizationData());   
        return headers;
    }
...
}

I hope it'll help you

The best solution for you is, indeed, use the HttpDigestStack. You can find the docs right here: http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/Android_Free_Code/Framework/platform/com_gm_android_volleyHttpDigestStack_java.htm

All you have to do is to provide a new instance of a HttpDigestStack as an additional parameter when creating a new RequestQueue using Volley. You can follow this example:

Volley.newRequestQueue(context, new HttpDigestStack());

Unless I am misunderstanding something....This solution uses a deprecated method from BaseHttpStack (performRequest). Volley's recommendation suggests using executeRequest instead. – Perquisite
