With the release of Android 5.1, it looks like all the Apache http stuff has been deprecated. Looking at the documentation is useless; they all say

This class

Call webservice httpclient replace by httpurlconnection

my code here

public static String getDataFromUrl(String url) {
        String result = null;
//        System.out.println("URL comes in jsonparser class is:  " + url);
        try {
            URL myurl=new URL(url);
            HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) myurl
                    .openConnection();
            urlConnection.setRequestMethod("GET");
            urlConnection.setDoInput(true);
            urlConnection.connect();
            InputStream is=urlConnection.getInputStream();
            if (is != null) {
                StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                String line;
                try {
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(
                            new InputStreamReader(is));
                    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                        sb.append(line);
                    }
                    reader.close();
                } finally {
                  is.close();
                }
                result = sb.toString();
            }
        }catch (Exception e){
            result=null;
        }
        return result;
    }
