Android Httpclient [NoSuchMethodError:org.apache.http.entity.ContentType.create]

Question

I want upload image from android to spring controller. I already connected android with spring using rest api call (httpclient) My code is :

final String jsonUserMo = gson.toJson(userMO);
    final StringBuilder contactLists = new StringBuilder();
    HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 10000); // Timeout
    try {
        MultipartEntityBuilder builder = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();
        builder.setMode(HttpMultipartMode.BROWSER_COMPATIBLE);
        FileBody profileFile = new FileBody(profileImage);
        builder.addPart("uploadImg", profileFile);
        HttpEntity entity = builder.build();
        List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
        nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("userMO", jsonUserMo));
        HttpPost post = new HttpPost(Constants.ROOTURL+"/media/uploadUserImage");
        post.setEntity(entity);
        post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
        Log.i("Ringee",post.toString());
        HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
        BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
        contactLists.append(rd.readLine());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

profile image is file. and its upload using mutipartentity But i got error in android

Answer 1

Looks like you use incompatible jar's for httpmime and httpclient-android. Try to use version 4.3.6 of httpmime

Answer 2

I was also doing same like you, then i have just used same library version and it worked,

I don't know how, but below code solved my problem

compile( 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.5') {
    exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5'

Answer 3

NoSuchMethodError

Thrown if an application tries to call a specified method of a class (either static or instance), and that class no longer has a definition of that method. Normally, this error is caught by the compiler; this error can only occur at run time if the definition of a class has incompatibly changed.

You should use incompatible version of both .

 compile ('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.5.2') {
      exclude module: 'httpclient'
   }
   compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5'
