Unable to find HTTP client library - Android

Question

I have multiple modules in my project and have added the following dependency in my project level build.gradle file for using HTTP Client Library throughout the project:

 compile "cz.msebera.android:httpclient:4.4.1.2"

I created a new module and I want to use the above mentioned library in it. So here is what I did in build.gradle for that module:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.0"
    useLibrary 'cz.msebera.android.httpclient'

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

}

I have been following this post. Upon trying to sync the project I get the following error:

Error: Unable to find optional library: cz.msebera.android.httpclient

I can't figure out what went wrong here. Please help me to sort it out.

Use this dependency in your build.gradle(Module: app):

dependencies {
    compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1'
}

use this compile group: 'cz.msebera.android', name: 'httpclient', version: '4.4.1.1' or you can use library directly from HERE and paste it in your lib folder and choose add as library by right click on that library after paste.

than only thing you have to do is download this library and put in your lib folder

I do but still DefaultHttpClient is deprecated.

replace HttpClient place of DefaultHttpClient

HttpClient does not have getCookieStore(). this is my another question: stackoverflow.com/questions/45420640/…

@sayreskabir you would need to write in in module dependency.

Update answer for Android IDE dolphin 2021 on 12/2022 -Using cz.msebera.android , remove all org.apache.httpcomponents . Apache library create conflict with android sdk >=30. Adding this line to build.gradle file: implementation 'cz.msebera.android:httpclient:4.5.8'

-Modify all import from org.apche.http to cz.msebera.
