I have added this line to my build.gradle

compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents' , name: 'httpclient-android' , version: '4.3.5'

and I want to use MultipartEntityBuilder in my code. However Android studio doesn't add the library to my code. Can anyone help me with this?

If you are using target SDK as 23 add the below code in your build.gradle

android{
 useLibrary  'org.apache.http.legacy'
}

Additional note here: don't try using the gradle versions of those files. They are broken (28.08.15). I tried over 5 hours to get it to work. It just doesn't. not working:

compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.1'
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5'

Another thing don't use:

'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1'

It's referring to 21 API level.
