Missing org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpUriRequest on Android app

Question

I'm trying to use Telegrambot from my Android application (4.4 due to some project requirements). I implemented a simple bot but, when I tried to run it, I get this error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/methods/HttpUriRequest

I have tried with

compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.3'

but without success. What's the proper dependency I have to include? These are the dependencies I have included to support telegram:

// *** Telegram dependencies ***
compile 'org.json:org.json:chargebee-1.0'
compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', name: 'httpcore', version: '4.4.6'
compile 'org.telegram:telegrambots:2.4.4.5'

-- Update: I'm getting also these warnings:

The stack trace suggests you are running this from the IDE. Have you tried re-importing your Gradle file in IntelliJ? — Evgeny Tanhilevich, Sep 18 '17 at 16:32

I have fixed in this way. On dependencies I have added this:

// *** Telegram dependencies ***
compile 'org.json:org.json:chargebee-1.0'
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.6'
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.3'
compile files('libs/commons-logging-1.2.jar')    
compile "org.telegram:telegrambots:3.3"

and inside android section I have added this:

configurations {
    compile.exclude group: "org.apache.httpcomponents", module: "httpclient"
    compile.exclude group: "commons-logging", module: "commons-logging"
}

Now, I'm able to execute TelegramBot code without runtime exception.
