HttpClient won't import in Android Studio

Question

package com.mysite.myapp;

import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;

public class Whatever {
    public voi         


        

Answer 1

HttpClient is not supported any more in sdk 23. Android 6.0 (API Level 23) release removes support for the Apache HTTP client. You have to use

android {
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    .
    .
    .

and also add below code snippet in your dependency :

//http final solution for web-service (including file uploading)

compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6') {
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
 compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5'

It will also help you while you use Use MultipartEntity for File upload.
