Próbuję dołączyć httpmime do mojej aplikacji za pomocą pliku build.gradle i wszystko dobrze się kompiluje. Zamiast tego, gdy aplikacja próbuje faktycznie użyć klasy MultipartEntityBuilder, w dzienniku jest kilka komunikatów o poziomie WARN, mówiących o problemach.

Oto fragment mojego build.gradle dla zależności:

    compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.+') {
        exclude module: "httpclient"
    }

Oto błędy:

}
compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.+') {
    exclude module: "httpclient"
}

[DRUGI EDYCJA] Wciąż masz problemy - teraz są te inne brakujące bity, ale mogą to być problemy na zapleczu:

10-10 11:51:54.998  29597-29638/com.company.app W/dalvikvm﹕ VFY: unable to resolve static field 7465 (INSTANCE) in Lorg/apache/http/message/BasicHeaderValueParser;

[YET ANOTHER EDIT]

Wydaje się, że ostatnie małe brakujące bity nie mają żadnego wpływu na pomyślne użycie MultipartEntityBuilder w tym przypadku.
