I already have developed an desktop application using Java and now I need to develop the same application to Android. In my java application I've used the httpclient library from apache to make all http transactions, my question is: Can I use the same class HttpUtil that I've used in my java application with HttpClient in my new Android app ???

Yes. Much, most, or all of your code can work in Android. Just make sure to continue using the Apache imports and not Google's (near) equivalents.

For example, instead of:

import com.google.api.client.http.HttpResponse;

Make sure you continue to use this:

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;

  • I don't think it's possible look what I'm getting when I try to run my android application: [2013-03-21 11:35:13 - Dex Loader] Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/apache/http/ConnectionClosedException; [2013-03-21 11:35:13 - TargetAppAndroid] Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: Multiple dex files define Lorg/apache/http/ConnectionClosedException; – Victor Laerte Mar 21 '13 at 14:39
  • It appears to be a compile issue that may involve clean/refresh or tools update.

  • You were right. I was importing HttpClient lib, but it is available in Android default libs, my mistake. – Victor Laerte Mar 22 '13 at 12:34
