Question

I\'m dipping my toes into Android development. I have a project that will interface with a RESTful resource and I\'m trying to figure out how to do a basic GET with params o

Answer 1

This happens when using Proguard and the com.apache.http.legacy library in Android SDK 23.

It worked after I added this to my Proguard config:

-keep class org.apache.http.** { *; }
-keep class org.apache.commons.codec.** { *; }
-keep class org.apache.commons.logging.** { *; }
-keep class android.net.compatibility.** { *; }
-keep class android.net.http.** { *; }
-keep class com.android.internal.http.multipart.** { *; }
-dontwarn org.apache.http.**
-dontwarn android.webkit.**

Which allows the system Apache implementation to properly override the stubs compiled into the app.
