Android M (preview) - Heads up.

[NJDude]

I've been testing "M" and B4A, everything so far looks ok, but, there are certain things that are NOT working, for example the HTTP Library, so, if you get some errors don't panic, it's just Google being Google.

Just a heads up.

Please try the new OkHttp library (and updated HttpUtils2): https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/okhttp-replaces-the-http-library.54723/

I'm guessing that any other library that imports the org.apache.http libraries is not going to compile against AndroidM/API23?
You would need to specifically add these as DependsOn. I'm not sure if this is usual/expected as many SDKs do provide their own versions of the http libraries.

I'm not 100% sure that they will remove it from Android 6. If they do remove it then it will be difficult to use HttpClient as you will only be able to manually add it to Android 6+ devices. This means that you will need to create two apps, one for Android 5- and one for 6+. Not very good.
