Hello I use android studio and want to upload images to a RoR Server. However when I press upload-Button I get this Error:

}

And here are my gradle imports:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.2"
    useLibrary  'org.apache.http.legacy'


    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
    }

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.myapplicationcamera"
        minSdkVersion 22
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
    // compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.3')
    compile files('libs/commons-io-2.4.jar')
    compile files('libs/fluent-hc-4.3.1.jar')
    compile files('libs/httpcore-4.3.jar')
    compile files('libs/httpmime-4.3.1.jar')
    compile files('libs/picasso-2.1.1.jar')
}

I sit for hours on this problem and no solution on the internet works. Has someone an idea?

I strongly recommend using something other than the obsolete Apache HttpClient that is part of Android. Use OkHttp, or HttpUrlConnection, or Volley, or a separate copy of Apache HttpClient, or Ion, or something. — CommonsWare

Ah thank you, that is a good idea. how could I change the code to OKHttp? — Peter

This is really as the exception says, the classloader is not finding the class. I could suggest a couple of things:

Close project, close studio, open and try again.
See if you actually have org/apache etc. in your android installation. If you have jar files, you can list contents using jar tvf whatever.jar. Will be a long list, so jar tvf whatever.jar | grep apache
