As mentioned before, org.apache.http.client.HttpClient is not supported any more in:
SDK (API level) #23.
You have to use java.net.HttpURLConnection.
If you want to make your code (and life) easier when using HttpURLConnection, here is a Wrapper of this class that will let you do simple operations with GET, POST and PUT using JSON, like for example, doing a HTTP PUT.
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest(API_URL + PATH).addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
int httpCode = request.put(new JSONObject().toString());
if (HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK == httpCode) {
response = request.getJSONObjectResponse();
} else {
// log error
}
httpRequest.close()
Feel free to use it.
