Dependency apache HTTP client in android with Google APIs

Question

I have been using the google play services libraries just with Google+ login and it worked fine but now I want to include the Calendar API to my app. I am following this tutorial

The problem is that the dependencies with the new instructions of the tutorial cause a Warning in the Gradle Build.

Information:Gradle tasks [:app:generateDebugSources, :app:generateDebugAndroidTestSources]
Warning:Dependency org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.0.1 is ignored for debug as it may be conflicting with the internal version provided by Android.
         In case of problem, please repackage it with jarjar to change the class packages

Here is my gradle app file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    signingConfigs {
        config {
            keyAlias 'androiddebugkey'
            keyPassword 'android'
            storeFile file('C:/Users/Julio/.android/debug.keystore')
            storePassword 'android'
        }
    }
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.julio.competicionpartido"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
        debug {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.config
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0'
    compile ('com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.20.0'){
        exclude module: 'httpclient' 
        exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
        exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', module: 'httpclient' 
    }
    compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:1.20.0'
    compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client-gson:1.20.0'
    compile 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-calendar:v3-rev125-1.20.0'
}

I have been searching for ages and I've tried everything. Could anyone help me?

Answer 1

in order to exclude that class from all the configurations:

configurations.all() {
    exclude group: "org.apache.httpcomponents", module: "httpclient"
}

dependencies {
    ...
}
