Then I tried to fix it use this:

compileSdkVersion 23 

But then I got error:

cannot resolve symbol NameValuePair android

How to fix this error?

Answer 1

If you want to use NameValuePair or BasicNameValuePair in android studio with latest API Levels. Then follow steps below:

• Open build.gradle(Module) file and copy these dependencies:

  implementation 'com.google.http-client:google-http-client-android:+'  implementation 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:+'  implementation 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-gson:+' 

• Copy useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy' below buildToolsVersion like:

  android { useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'} 

Thats all. Now just sync gradle file.

Note: In dependencies i recommend to use latest version of libraries instead of + symbol.

NameValuePair is part the package org.apache which was deprecated with Android 22 and removed with Android M, which is the version against you are compiling. What is interesting is that neither the documentation of NameValuePair is reachable
