Getting NoSuchFieldError INSTANCE org/apache/http/message/BasicHeaderValueParser

Question

I\'m working on an app on Android. I\'m using httpcore 4.3.3. I get this when I try to use ContentType.parse(string)

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError:         


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately stock versions of HttpCore cannot be used in Android. Please use Apache HttpClient Android Port which also includes requisite HttpCore classes

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