Question

I am trying on my own to implement a useful trip planner application using android studio with the help of goolge and some open sources
I have android application with no gradle.build. when it try to run it i get the error.
Error:(20, 28) java: package org.apache.http.util does not exist
Here is the part of the code that has the error.
How to solve the error ?
import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.util.ByteArrayBuffer;
import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONException;
import org.json.JSONObject;
public static String queryUrl(String url) {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse response;
try {
response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
Log.i(TAG, "Url:" + url + "");
Log.i(TAG, "Status:[" + response.getStatusLine().toString() + "]");
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
InputStream instream = entity.getContent();
BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(instream));
StringBuilder total = new StringBuilder();
String line;
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null) {
total.append(line);
}
instream.close();
String result = total.toString();
return result;
}
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "There was a protocol based error", e);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(TAG, "There was some error", e);
}
return null;
}

See following answer, HttpClient won't import in Android Studio
I don't know how your module's build.gradle looks like, but I assume you are including apache libraries some wrong way.
Also, I would not reccomend using apache HTTP libraries in new android applications. Have look at OkHttp or Volley
I would post this in comments, but I don't have enough reputation yet.
