Android Question Http Library error

[Firpas]

I want to use the library Http instead of OkHttp to make my application compatible with Android 2.2 (API Level 8) but when compiling this error occurs:

B4A version: 5.02 (1)
Parsing code. (0.03s)
Compiling code. (0.12s)

Debug.DebugWarningEngine.CheckInitialize(_wc);_wc.Initialize("wc");
^
class file for org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException not found

I tried to change different versions of javac.exe (1.8, 1.7 and 1.6) but with the same result.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

It is not related to the Java version. You need to reference an older version of android.jar (Tools - Configure Paths).

BTW, Android 2.2 runs on %0.1 of the devices: https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html

Ok. Thanks for you replay

I think I'll leave minSdkVersion = "9" in the manifest
