Your import has a subtle error    import java awt List     It should be   import java util List    The problem is that both awt and Java s util package provide a class called List  The former is a display element  the latter is a generic type used with collections  Furthermore  java util ArrayList extends java util List  not java awt List so if it wasn t for the generics  it would have still been a problem   Edit   to address further questions given by OP  As an answer to your comment  it seems that there is anther subtle import issue    import org omg DynamicAny NameValuePair    should be   import org apache http NameValuePair   nameValuePairs now uses the correct generic type parameter  the generic argument for new UrlEncodedFormEntity  which is List lt   extends NameValuePair gt   becomes valid  since your NameValuePair is now the same as their NameValuePair  Before  org omg DynamicAny NameValuePair did not extend org apache http NameValuePair and the shortened type name NameValuePair evaluated to org omg    in your file  but org apache    in their code

Adding java util list will resolve your problem because List interface which you are trying to use is part of java util list package

I got the same error  but when i did as below  it resolved the issue  Instead of writing like this   List lt NameValuePair gt  nameValuePairs   new ArrayList lt NameValuePair gt  1     use the below one           ArrayList lt NameValuePair gt  nameValuePairs   new ArrayList lt NameValuePair gt  1
