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.

i used like this: compile group: 'cz.msebera.android', name: 'httpclient', version: '4.4.1.2' – sayres kabir Aug 01 '17 at 05:38
than only thing you have to do is download this library and put in your lib folder – jigar savaliya Aug 01 '17 at 05:51
I do but still DefaultHttpClient is deprecated. – sayres kabir Aug 01 '17 at 06:17
replace *HttpClient* place of DefaultHttpClient – jigar savaliya Aug 01 '17 at 06:19
HttpClient does not have getCookieStore(). this is my another question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45420640/client-getcookiestore-getcookies-on-httpurlconnection – sayres kabir Aug 01 '17 at 06:22

instead of `cz.msebera.android:httpclient:4.4.1.21 on build.gredle of the main ?or module? – sayres kabir Aug 01 '17 at 05:11
@sayreskabir you would need to write in in module dependency. – Bhavesh Patadiya Aug 01 '17 at 05:16

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.
