Gradle
Gradle dependency string, once you have it installed
dependencies {
compile "cz.msebera.android:httpclient:4.5.8"
Or you can simply depend on the project, like this (httpclient-android is resulting Gradle project dir)
dependencies {
compile project("/path/to/generated/project/httpclient-android")
Testing the library on the device
To test the library, you can use provided android app template, in the /testing-android-app folder
This template currently just shows the response from https://httpbin.org/headers if successful, and the error message otherwise
cd testing-android-app
./gradlew clean instalDebug
adb shell am start -n cz.msebera.android.httpclient.test/.MainActivity
If everything goes well, you should see, within seconds after running the last command, json with http headers of just finished HttpGet
