Hello,

I am getting into Java software development totally developed on my Android
tablet-no use of a "real" computer.  I have noticed that the Java package I
am using (the ecj compiler on the Termux emulator) doesn't have the
HttpClient library installed on it and that the download files available on
hc.apache.org do not appear to be compatible with the Termux setup I have
(I confess I am somewhat of a novice and "teaching myself," on this craft
but this is my understanding so far).  For some background, Termux is a
Linux emulator that turns Java code into class and dex files that dalvik,
our virtual machine then executes.

My question is, can the HttpClient library available on Apache for Java be
used directly on an Android device coding Java?  If so, what is the setup
involved?  I believe there is an Android version coming available at some
point, but my fear is that these will be traditional .jar files for use in
Android development on a traditional Linux, Windows or Mac machine as
opposed to the Linux-like Termux environment which cannot run jar files.

Thanks, and any resources or ideas you can point me to in this journey will
be greatly appreciated.

Oscar
