FATAL EXCEPTION java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lorg/apache/http/util/Args

Question

I am sending a recorded audio file to the server using the httppost method, but I am receiving the following error:

FATAL EXCEPTION java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lorg/apache/http/util/Args

Here is my code:

File is = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/" + "javacodegeeksRecording.3gpp");           

String yourNodeJsBluemixRoute = "http://mobilefeedbackform.mybluemix.net";
 try {
     Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
            "Inside try", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                .show();
        System.out.println(is);
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost post = new HttpPost(yourNodeJsBluemixRoute);
        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                "Before sending", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                   .show();
        post.setHeader("enctype", "multipart/form-data");

        /*FileBody bin = new FileBody(is);*/
        FileBody fb = new FileBody(is, "audio/3gpp");
        MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
        reqEntity.addPart("file", fb); /*I believe that the "file" is the name in php part*/
        post.setEntity(reqEntity);

        HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);

        Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                "Now sending", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                   .show();
        HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
        if (resEntity != null) {
            String responseBody = EntityUtils.toString(resEntity);
            String resp = responseBody;
            Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                    resp, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                       .show();
            Log.i("RESPONSE", EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));
        }
            } catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
        }

       } catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
   }

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Just download the latest http jar from -http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/h/Downloadhttpcore43beta1jar.htm]1

and add it into the libs folder of your project.

Don't forget to add compile files('libs/httpcore-4.3-beta1.jar') dependency in the build.gradle

This worked for me. Happy coding :)

Answer 2

I was also working on apache stuff, and I run into that error. I was able to fix it by downloading the .jar and then link it in the project settings manually.

You should move the jar under your app/build/libs Files >> Project Structure >> Dependencies >> + >> File Dependencies >> and then change it to provided instead of compile (compile will cause a java exit with nonzero value 1 if you are importing too much jars)
