Here is the code sample I am trying to use. Its from a tutorial online (teamtreehouse.com) Java code:

OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
            Request request = new Request.Builder()
                    .url(forecastUrl)
                    .build();

            Call call = client.newCall(request);
            call.enqueue(new Callback() {
                @Override
                public void onFailure(Request request, IOException e) {
                    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            toggleRefresh();
                        }
                    });
                    alertUserAboutError();
                }

                @Override
                public void onResponse(Response response) throws IOException {
                    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            toggleRefresh();
                        }
                    });

                    try {
                        String jsonData = response.body().string();
                        Log.v(TAG, jsonData);
                        if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                            mCurrentWeather = getCurrentDetails(jsonData);
                            runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
                                @Override
                                public void run() {
                                    updateDisplay();
                                }
                            });
                        } else {
                            alertUserAboutError();
                        }
                    }
                    catch (IOException e) {
                        Log.e(TAG, "Exception caught: ", e);
                    }
                    catch (JSONException e) {
                        Log.e(TAG, "Exception caught: ", e);
                    }
                }
            });

OkHttp needs Okio, which OkHttp uses for fast I/O and resizable buffers. You can download Okio (latest JAR) here.

or

Android gradle : compile 'com.squareup.okio:okio:1.6.0'

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.squareup.okio</groupId>
    <artifactId>okio</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.0</version>
</dependency>

for version checks; github okio
