so I have a api that I want to send my username and password to and have my web api end point return a json containing a JWT

Sure, so essentially just your regular POST request and parsing the JWT back as a string for example?

I see. You should look at networking libraries like Volley or Fuel which is written in Kotlin. Is your hashing using JWT too? They also have a Java SDK for that
