Android Apache HTTP Client

In this post I want to describe how to build an HTTP client using Apache library. In one of my post I describe how we can use HttpUrlConnection to create a client. UsingApache library I want to explain how we can make POST request, download images and upload multipart binary data. Moreover I will describe how to exchange cookies. So the topics covered are:

• POST request
• download binary data
• upload binary data
• exchange cookie

 

Apache library is an external library shipped with Android SDK that simplifies the task of making HTTP request.
