Apache HTTP connection with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)

by

This page discusses the removal of the Apache HTTP classes, and it suggests a workaround as well:

To continue using the Apache HTTP APIs, you must first declare the following compile-time dependency in your build.gradle file:

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

In my case Android Studio still complained that it couldn’t find these classes, but the app did build and run.

The page does recommend you move to HttpURLConnection, though.
