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

Simple solution is to use:

https://code.google.com/p/httpclientandroidlib/

It's the Appache HttpClient port for android wrap in a different package name so that will not interfere with the existing version in Android. Import the jar in the Android project and instead of "org.apache.http" use "ch.boye.httpclientandroidlib."
