import org.apache.http.HttpEntity; to legacy for android

or is there a workaround to correct my function

    public void getData(){
        class GetDataJSON extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>{

            @Override
            protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
                DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient(new BasicHttpParams());
                HttpPost httppost = new  HttpPost("http://hollyannjones.joneschris.info/get-data.php");

                // Depends on your web service
                httppost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");

                InputStream inputStream = null;
                String result = null;
                try {
                    HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
                    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

                    inputStream = entity.getContent();
                    // json is UTF-8 by default
                    BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream, "UTF-8"), 8);
                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

                    String line = null;
                    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
                    {
                        sb.append(line + "\n");
                    }
                    result = sb.toString();
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    // Oops
                }
                finally {
                    try{if(inputStream != null)inputStream.close();}catch(Exception squish){}
                }
                return result;
            }

Hi Chris Jones,

useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' in gradle. Download the jar file from here(https://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi) and add into the project. Call webservice httpclient replace by httpurlconnection.

OR

Try other alternative (http://square.github.io/okhttp/), Here is what i am recommend you. I am using this in my projects.
 

Thanks & Regards,
