android studio does not identifies HttpResponse & StringEntity

Question

In android studio I am trying to import HttpResponse and StringEntity, for this I am using import org.apache.http.HttpResponse and import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity respectively. But android studio does not iddentifies these imports and is showing cannot resolve symbol. So how can I use these libraries in my project?

This is my code (.java file)

package com.example.abc.project.MongoHQ;

import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import android.os.AsyncTask;

import com.example.abc.project.Task;

public class SaveAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Task, Void, Boolean> {

    @Override
    protected Boolean doInBackground(Task... arg0) {
        try
        {
            Task task = arg0[0];

            QueryBuilder qb = new QueryBuilder();

            HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpPost request = new HttpPost(qb.buildContactsSaveURL());

            StringEntity params =new StringEntity(qb.createContact(task));
            request.addHeader("content-type", "application/json");
            request.setEntity(params);
            HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);

            if(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()<205)
            {
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            //e.getCause();
            String val = e.getMessage();
            String val2 = val;
            return false;
        }
    }

}

in api 23 google not support the org.apache.http you have to add manually in your project — Arpit Patel, May 02 '16 at 17:24
Post your `Gradle` code here. Looks like something missing in `Gradle`. — Jay Rathod, May 02 '16 at 17:54

download these libraries:

then paste them in your project folder >>app >lib >>here

Then go to AS,right click on project >>open module settings>>dependecies TAB>>Click +>>add file dependency >> locate the lib folder and import all three of them.And you are done!!

First you have to check that in your libs folder

Then add into your gradle file like this 

    android {
        compileSdkVersion 23
        buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'

        defaultConfig {
            applicationId "info.tranetech.laundry"
            minSdkVersion 15
            targetSdkVersion 23
            versionCode 1
            versionName "1.0"
        }
        buildTypes {
            release {
                minifyEnabled false
                proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
            }
        }
    }
    android {
        useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    }
    dependencies {
        compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
        compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1
        compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1
        testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
        compile files('libs/android-async-http-1.4.4.jar')
        compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
    }
