# httpclient-android [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/smarek/httpclient-android.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/smarek/httpclient-android)

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)

## Usage

Download the repository and simply hit `./build.sh` script

## Dependencies

Required dependencies are:

  - JDK 6 or newer

  - Gradle 2.4 or newer

  - `find`, `grep`, `svn`, `patch` and `sed` (or `gsed` for OS X)

  - for Kerberos support you need `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 PATH

  - `UPDATE_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 implementation

  - `VERBOSE`, set to `1` to get more verbose output

## Maven Central

This 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

Gradle dependency string, once you have it installed

```gradle

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)

```gradle

dependencies {

  compile project("/path/to/generated/project/httpclient-android")

}

```

## Testing the library on the device

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
