Hello Prathik,
The code which I am using for OData based BASIC Authentication, for my Mobile App is as below.
   var onSuccess = function(data) {
   alert("We are Through"); //Just to check that the OData request was sucessful
   var onError = function(err) {
   switch(err.response.statusCode) {  
   case 403 : {
   window.alert("Error Code - 403, Service unreachable ");
   break;
   case 401 : {
   window.alert("The credentials are incorrect or missing!");
   break;  
// dataUserName and dataPassword are the two variables, in which I am storing my Username and Password, respectively.
   var connectionRequest = {
   requestUri: "ODATA SERVICE URL GOES HERE/",
   headers: { Authorization : 'Basic ' + Base64.encode(dataUsername + ":" + dataPassword) },
   method: "POST"
   OData.request( connectionRequest, onSuccess, onError);
