Interceptor

The idea of interceptor is that it should serve as the gateway for all the API requests your application fires. So that there is single point of change for requirements that span across all the calls.

Retrofit Network Client (add interceptor):

if your app has a limit (1-8) on the number of requests you can make :

public class NetworkClient {


private static final String BASE_URL = "https://reqres.in";

private static final int TIMEOUT = 10;
private static final long cacheSize = 5 * 1024 *1024 ; // 5 x 1024 x 1024

public static Retrofit retrofit;
public static Retrofit getRetrofitClient(final Context context) {
    if (retrofit == null) {
        Cache myCache = new Cache(context.getCacheDir(), cacheSize);
        OkHttpClient.Builder okHttpClientBuilder = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
        okHttpClientBuilder.connectTimeout(TIMEOUT, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        okHttpClientBuilder.cache(myCache);
        okHttpClientBuilder.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
            @Override
            public Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
                Request request = chain.request();

                if (Utils.isNetworkConnected(context)) {
                    request.newBuilder().header("Cache-Control", "public, max-age=" + 5).build();
                } else {
                    request.newBuilder().header("Cache-Control", "public, only-if-cached, max-stale=" + 60 * 60 * 24 * 7).build();
                }


                return chain.proceed(request);
            }
        });

        retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
                .baseUrl(BASE_URL)
                .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
                .client(okHttpClientBuilder.build())
                .build();
    }
    return retrofit;
}

 }

Retrofit Network Client :

if you want to work for more then 10 api then you can use intercepter and network interceptor:
