Httpclient Won't Import in Android Studio

HttpClient won't import in Android Studio

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

Can't import org.apache.http.HttpResponse in Android Studio

HttpClient was deprecated in Android 5.1 and is removed from the Android SDK in Android 6.0. While there is a workaround to continue using HttpClient in Android 6.0 with Android Studio, you really need to move to something else. That "something else" could be:

• the built-in classic Java HttpUrlConnection
• Apache's independent packaging of HttpClient for Android
• OkHttp (my recommendation)
• AndroidAsync

Or, depending upon the nature of your HTTP work, you might choose a library that supports higher-order operations (e.g., Retrofit for Web service APIs).

In a pinch, you could enable the legacy APIs, by having useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' in your android closure in your module's build.gradle file. However, Google has been advising people for years to stop using Android's built-in HttpClient, and so at most, this should be a stop-gap move, while you work on a more permanent shift to another API.

HttpClient is not imprting in Android studio

Download jar file HttpClient.jar.Then add into lib folder on your project.Then fix the path on settings

 File -> Project Structure -> Dependencies -> Add -> File Dependency 

Android Studio opens a dialog box where you can drag&drop the jar library. Then click the OK button.

httpclient conflict with classes now provided by Android

Check out this changelog for the Android API.

You should replace the Apache HTTP functions by HttpURLConnection or use this snipped in your build.gradle to continue using the now deprecated Apache libraries.

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

Android Gradle Apache HttpClient does not exist?

I suggest you replace the deprecated apache HttpClient with the new HttpURLConnection.

That's a cleaner solution, it's quite easy to migrate, and generally it's better to stick to the latest SDK changes than trying to hack/patch/workaround: you usually regret it later :)

Step 1

HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);

becomes:

URL urlObj = new URL(url);

Step 2

HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpGet, localContext);
InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();

becomes:

HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) urlObj.openConnection();
InputStream is = urlConnection.getInputStream();

Step 2 bis

int status = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode();

becomes:

int status = urlConnection.getResponseCode();
