useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' not working

Question

When i use this in gradle it is showing as

"Error:Unable to find optional library: org.apache.http.legacy"

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
    useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
    }

......

}

Project Level :

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

@cricket_007..... i had tried the solution already but couldn't solve it — Teja, Oct 18 '16 at 08:04
Alright, then. Do you really need the legacy Apache HTTP, though? Why not compile this one? https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.3.x/android-port.html — OneCricketeer, Oct 18 '16 at 08:05

Add org.apache.http.legacy.jar which is in Android/Sdk/platforms/android-23/optional folder to app/libs directory and sync your project. Check this Link as this question looks similar.

Can i get a link a link from where i can download that particular jar....i couldnt find the jar – Teja Oct 18 '16 at 08:03
@Teja That `Android/Sdk/platforms` is the link. It depends where you've installed the SDK. – OneCricketeer Oct 18 '16 at 08:04
Okay; but why do this? And why isn't `useLibrary` (the documented solution) working? – Jameson Apr 12 '20 at 06:42
