HttpClient repackaged for Android
APACHE-2.0 License
Build script and dependencies to create repackaged upstream version of HttpClient and dependencies (HttpMime, HttpCore, HttpClient-Cache) and get it working on Android API version from 3 to 23
Current version: 4.5.8 (originating from upstream HttpClient 4.5.8 version)
Download the repository and simply hit ./build.sh
script
Required dependencies are:
find
, grep
, svn
, patch
and sed
(or gsed
for OS X)Android NDK
, git
and swig
## Configuration
Build params (ENV variables) you can use:
USE_GRADLE_WRAPPER
, set to 0
if you want to use current Gradle from PATHUPDATE_UPSTREAM
, whether the build script should download SVN/GIT/... sources again (useful for recurring builds)SED_CMD
used variant of SED utility (default is sed -i
on linux and gsed -i
on Mac OS X)INCLUDE_JGSS_API
, experimental, whether to include Kerberos API and Negotiate, SPNego, GGS, Kerberos Auth schemes implementationVERBOSE
, set to 1
to get more verbose outputThis repository version will publish the library under namespace cz.msebera.android:httpclient:4.5.8
## Maven Local
Using gradle installArchives
will install the library to local Maven repository
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")
}
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
