HttpClient won't import in Android Studio

Question

I have a simple class written in Android Studio:

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. You have to use URLConnection or downgrade to sdk 22 (compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0')

If you need sdk 23, add this to your gradle:

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

You also may try to download and include HttpClient jar directly into your project or use OkHttp instead
