        String line = null;

            sb.append(line + "\n");
        }

        json = sb.toString();
    } catch (Exception e) {

    }

}
}

It gives me the following errors

Error:(7, 23) error: package org.apache.http does not exist
Error:(129, 18) error: cannot find symbol class NameValuePair
Error:(129, 56) error: cannot find symbol class NameValuePair

  • Have you added the .jar for org.apache.http to your project's build path? – Snail Cadet May 09 '19 at 15:51

    It's better (easier) to use Retrofit https://github.com/square/retrofit + any of the available JSON parsers (e.g. Moshi, GSON, etc.) You will find tons of information on how to use with just a search. – Xavier Rubio Jansana May 09 '19 at 16:03
  • @Snail Cadet how do you do that? – eliud liud May 09 '19 at 16:17
  • @eliudliud It varies based on IDE. Another question (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25660166/how-to-add-a-jar-in-external-libraries-in-android-studio) covers how to do it in Android Studio. – Snail Cadet May 09 '19 at 19:18
