not able to import com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient;

Question

I am working on android studio and fetching some data from the web. I tried using OkHttpClient and also added jars to my project folder but still i am unable t

Answer 1

Gradle should have a line like this

implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.1' 

and this is how you import it

import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;

Because OkHttpClient has been moved from package com.squareup.okhttp to okhttp3 in the last version.

More details are here and here

Answer 2

You need to add the following libraries:

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.2.0'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp-urlconnection:2.0.0'

Answer 3

I see you are/were trying to compile with a jar you manually put in your libs folder. Is there a reason for this (such as you need that specific version of the library etc.)? In case you didn't notice, the lines are commented out - that means they will not be processed and thus not added to your application.

Possible solutions:

1. Uncomment the lines

2. Try adding this to your dependencies instead:

   compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.1'
   

You can add it right under

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

Answer 4

Let gradle handle download and import for you:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.1'
}

Answer 5

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion '25.0.2'
    useLibrary  'org.apache.http.legacy'
    ...
}

dependencies {
...
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.4.1'

}

And change your import from com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient to

import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;
