Answer 1

Try this worked for me Add this dependency to your build.gradle File

compile 'org.jbundle.util.osgi.wrapped:org.jbundle.util.osgi.wrapped.org.apache.http.client:4.1.2'

Answer 2

in API 22 they become deprecated and in API 23 they removed them completely, a simple workaround if you don't need all the fancy stuff from the new additions is to simply use the .jar files from apache that were integrated before API 22, but as separated .jar files:

1. http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi
2. download httpclient 4.5.1, the zile file
3. unzip all files
4. drag in your project httpclient-4.5.1.jar, httpcore-4.4.3.jar and httpmime-4.5.1.jar
5. project, right click, open module settings, app, dependencies, +, File dependency and add the 3 files
6. now everything should compile properly

Answer 3

ApacheHttp Client is removed in v23 sdk. You can use HttpURLConnection or third party Http Client like OkHttp.

Answer 4

You have to add just one line

useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

into build.gradle(Module: app), for example

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 24
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.0"

    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.avenues.lib.testotpappnew"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 24
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
