From my original post:
"...HttpClient for Android uses org.apache.http.namevaluepair defined in
HttpCore for some methods of its class URLEncodedUtilsHC4..."
I cannot find namevaluepair in HttpClient for Android.
So I asked:
"...How, therefore, do I use methods of URLEncodedUtilsHC4 in Android or
are there any alternatives? In particular the equivalent use parse methods..."
From what you are saying I can use HttpClient 5.0 Beta and HttpCore 5.0
Beta in Android fine, but not though Maven, right?
Or maybe there's an Android library that does exactly what these classes do.
Thanks Oleg,
Sorry if I've confused things.

Oleg,
I'm a bit confused. Just to clarify. Are you saying stock versions
of Apache
HttpClient 4.5 and 5.0 "should" run on Android anyway? Why are you
doing
the port if that's still a possibility?
1. Apache HttpClient 4.5
HttpClient 4.5 is _almost_ compatible with Android API 26 or later. The
trouble-maker is org.apache.http.conn.ssl.DefaultHostnameVerifier that
depends on javax.naming APIs unsupported by Android
It is _incompatible_ with earlier versions of Android API (< 26) and
there is nothing that can be done about it.
My project basically replaces the DefaultHostnameVerifier class with a
fork back-ported from Apache HttpClient 5.0 and adds a few minor
utility classes
https://github.com/ok2c/httpclient-android-ext
2. Apache HttpClient 5.0
Apache HttpClient 5.0 _should_ be fully compatible with all common
Android API versions. There used to be troubles with the logging code
in HttpClient 5.0, so before I can declare it fully compatible I want
to thoroughly test it.
Or do you mean they are "since"
the port and they actually support both platforms?
You say core was folded into Android client, but presumably you don't
mean
"all" of it?
If my memory still serves NIO and server-side code got dropped. What is
it that you think is missing?
My post is about something I didn't find to be folded in.
Finally you suggest core 5.0 should behave with Android. I am using
maven
central and I don't see 5.0. do you mean 5.0 beta and I have to
download
the jar and make the dependency reference the file rather than
remote?
https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.apache.httpcomponents.core5/httpcore5/5.0-beta7/jar
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents.core5</groupId>
<artifactId>httpcore5</artifactId>
<version>5.0-beta7</version>
</dependency>
Hope this helps
Oleg
Sorry. Hope this makes sense. I am still a novice in this area.
Very kind regards,
Andrew.

Hope this makes proper sense, or maybe I have misunderstood

Many thanks,

Hi Andrew
HttpCore code got folded into Android distribution of HttpClient
for
the sake of simplicity.
I am presently working on making sure that stock versions of Apache
HttpClient 4.5 and 5.0 could be run on Android without any
modifications but I have been doing all this work outside ASF as my
own
personal project.
In your case I would just recommend using Apache HttpCore 5.0 which
should just work on Android out of the box.
Cheers
Oleg
