Are you targetting MarshMallow? Please check your build.gradle file. If it includes minSdkVersion=23 then you will have to also include the following in your build file.

android {
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
}

The Apache libraries were deprecated and removed from the Android SDK in Android MarshMallow. Read more about this here: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html

i did this now new error come kindly check it i am updating my question – Ebad Ahmed Oct 21 '15 at 18:22
It's a new error, it unrelated to your main question. Please open a new question if you need help with it. As for the new error, check line 36 in your MainActivity.java file. You are using EditText here, it crashes because the view in your layout is not an EditText, but a TextView. – Jozua Oct 22 '15 at 08:07

I had a similar problem when using 'org.apache.http.client' in Android Studio with Gradle. If you're using the latest build tools i.e. SDK 23 then this library is depreciated.

To get around this you can include it another way and it should still work with the latest build tools / SDK:

dependencies {
    compile 'org.jbundle.util.osgi.wrapped:org.jbundle.util.osgi.wrapped.org.apache.http.client:4.1.2'
}

You can also reference this answer: Can't import org.apache.http.HttpResponse in Android Studio

compiling error on org.apache.http
