How to send http request in android?

Question

Android

Hello everyone, after a long search, I have a question, in the latest Android studio I don’t see the httpClient methods, etc.

public static String GET(String url){
        InputStream inputStream = null;
        String result = "";
        try {
 
            // create HttpClient
            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
 
            // make GET request to the given URL
            HttpResponse httpResponse = httpclient.execute(new HttpGet(url));
 
            // receive response as inputStream
            inputStream = httpResponse.getEntity().getContent();
 
            // convert inputstream to string
            if(inputStream != null)
                result = convertInputStreamToString(inputStream);
            else
                result = "Did not work!";
 
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.d("InputStream", e.getLocalizedMessage());
        }
 
        return result;
    }

half of the methods from this section of code are not imported.
Googled, but the code is the same everywhere...

Answer 1

Removed HTTPClient from Android version 6 .
Try to write in build.gradle:

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

Answer 2

Or you can use specialized libraries like okhttp
