OkHttpClient authenticator without retrofit

Question

Im trying to refresh an Access token in my application following this solution.

My actual problem is handling the callback and then return the new request in the authenticate method.

I tried using an interface to return a String from my callback method but then I cant assign it to a variable, nor can I return the new request from there since its inside my onResponseListener.

How can I solve this issue?

    public Request authenticate(Route route, Response response) throws IOException {
        // GetAuthRequest is a void method, and I cant assign a String value on the callback.
        getAuthRequest(new AuthResponse() {
            @Override
            public Request onSuccess(String token) {
                return response.request().newBuilder()
                        .header("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)
                        .build();
            }
        });

I was using an Asynchronous call instead of Synchronous. Ended up making a method that returns an String like so:

private String getAuthRequest() {
        // Make the request above
        try (Response response = httpClient.newCall(request).execute()) {
            JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response.body().string());
            return jsonObject.getString("access_token");
        } catch (IOException | JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
