Answer 1

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
