To use Apache HTTP for SDK Level 23:

Top level build.gradle - /build.gradle

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0' 
        // Lowest version for useLibrary is 1.3.0
        // Android Studio will notify you about the latest stable version
        // See all versions: http://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/
    }
    ...
}

Notification from Android studio about gradle update:

Module specific build.gradle - /app/build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
    ...
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    ...
}
