java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/conn/HttpClientConnectionManager

Question

I am using an API from Mashape in an Android application. Mashape recommends using the Unirest library. I have included the dependencies mentioned on the unirest link: http://unirest.io/java

My Dependencies:

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile group:'com.mashape.unirest', name:'unirest-java', version:'1.3.26'
compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpcore', version:'4.3.3'
compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpclient', version:'4.3.6'
compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpasyncclient', version:'4.0.2'
compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpmime', version:'4.3.5'
compile group:'org.json', name:'json', version:'20141113'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.+'

I still get this error when I make a HTTPRequest:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/conn/HttpClientConnectionManager
    at com.mashape.unirest.http.HttpClientHelper.prepareRequest(HttpClientHelper.java:153)

    at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:308)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357)
    ... 5 more

My java code is simple:

HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.get("https://testlink/all")
                    .header("X-Mashape-Key", TEST_KEY)
                    .asJson();

Could you please help me solve this issue? Thanks for your help!

UPDATE: As per secondo's suggestion I changed the httpclient to httpclient-android. My dependencies look like this now:

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile group:'com.mashape.unirest', name:'unirest-java', version:'1.3.26'
    compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpclient-android', version:'4.3.5'
    compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpcore', version:'4.3.3'
    compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpcore-nio', version:'4.3.3'
    compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpasyncclient', version:'4.0.2'
    compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpmime', version:'4.3.5'
    compile group:'org.json', name:'json', version:'20141113'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.0'

After rebuilding the project and running it, I get this error:

Error:Gradle: Execution failed for task ':app:dexDebug'.

Secondo Over a year ago

compile group:'org.apache.httpcomponents', name:'httpclient', version:'4.3.6' based on this i think he has already included that jar file and you are suggesting a lower version of it.

Altmish-E-Azam Over a year ago

@Secondo Can you please try to add above jar file mention in my answer and build your app and try.

Altmish-E-Azam Over a year ago

@Secondo your code has only org.apache.httpcomponents but you are getting error of org.apache.http.conn.HttpClientConnectionManager. So try above jar file and test.

Secondo Over a year ago

I cant :) i tried to download the link you gave and it is version 4.3-beta1.jar but the OP already have 4.3.6 in his classpath . is there any problem with 4.3.6 version ?

@Secondo Are you sure the same jar has been imported in your project. Does your previous jar has class `org.apache.http.conn.HttpClientConnectionManager'?

Go to Project/Properties/Java Build Path/Order and Export -- Make sure there's a check in front of Android Dependencies and the support library, if you use it.

Mark all checkboxes and Click on Apply and clean the project.
