Background
I am trying to develop an Android App for coding,for which I want to parse gradle files and download the repositories which users needs.However,I install my app only to see an error which implies Android has got rid of Apache Http.But in Aether,the package is needed.
What I have done
1.I have try to use HttpLegacy.jar to use the deprecated api.But what is necessary for Aether.transport-http is removed ,which I mean is not in Android API or Legacy.jar.
2.Well,there maybe other resolutions such as create an Apache Http compact package by myself.If it wouldn't take too much time,I think,I would do this.
Please help me out.
Thank you for taking time to give me a hand.

I'm developing an android app that won't be downloaded via the Google Play store but instead through an APK listed on my website. I was looking for a way to update this app.
I've done some research and I think the best way would be to run an API at the start of the app that checks the downloaded app's version against the version of the APK listed on the website (at the time of app launch). If the version of the website APK is higher, then I prompt the user for an update. Ideally the API would get the APK itself without the user needing to go to the website.
I have some doubts about this that I hope someone can answer however:
First - Once I download the new APK does the old one get deleted or do I have to do that?
Second - How do I keep User Preferences?
If this isn't the right way to do it I'd appreciate any tips.
If it is the right way and you know of some good resources to build an API like this I'd appreciate those too!
I am working on an Cordova Android app. As part of the app, I wrote some Java classes to create a service using WorkManager to poll our server and send a notification to the client on certain events.
Right now the code is invoked through MainActivity.java, where I create the worker, and all of the classes sit in the Java folder under the Android Platform directory. My understanding is that this isn't ideal since my code will get dropped every time we want to reset the platform.
What is the right way to add this code to a project and is there a tutorial that I can follow? Should it all be a plugin?
Thank you in advance.
You should definitely refactor your code into a plugin. Check out the doc here
You can make your plugin for Android only as well.
I would recommend too, to clone a very simple plugin and check out the code.
I'm working on a server backend component for an app, and one goal is to log all the messages transmitted through the app (using MQTT). To do this, I wanted to use the app as a library of sorts so that I could use the objects defined within to parse the messages coming through, since none of the messages will be transmitted as standard types. I'm using IntelliJ for the Java development, and Android Studio for the Android development. Is this possible? I was previously able to import the code as a module, which let me use the types defined within, but when I went to build the project it tried to build the Android code as well and failed because IntelliJ hadn't set up Android dependencies. Should I try and set the Android SDK as a dependency in the app module, and then build? Or am I approaching this the wrong way? (if it's even possible) I understand that there are also Library projects which looks like a possible solution, it would just require re-factoring all the applicable code out to a different project and I was hoping that wouldn't be necessary.
Trying to import the entire Android app as a library into a different codebase probably isn't going to work; you don't want a non-Android app to have all that Android code linked in, and with resources and the whole environment it will be tough to get it to compile at all.
A better approach would be to take all of the code that needs to work cross-platform and distill it into a plain Java library that you can include in multiple contexts. On the Android side you could include it as a plain Java library project, or compile it to a jar and include the jar.
I am trying to develop a Android OCR app (for home use).
I had the idea to use the Asprise OCR in the app but instead of the windows version I was gonna use the Linux version.
The problem is, I don't know how to handle the native libraries. They have the extension .SH
I'm developing in Eclipse.
Google recently released an OCR API, so you probably want to use that:
https://developers.google.com/vision/text-overview
Just add the following line to your dependecies:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:9.2.0'
I would recommend you to use Android Studio instead of Eclipse and related to the OCR library, you could use Tesseract, which is an open source library developed by Google.
Here you have more information and a practical example to follow:

Hope this helps

I want to make one application that will monitor chat history of other IM in phone.
I couldn't find any Skype API for Android, although I found Skype4Java API from net. I wish to use this in an Android application. I have imported the .jar file of that API to my Java build path. When I run my code, I am getting errors for libskype.jnilib and libskype.so file.
I also can't delete that file also, because when I attempt to delete that I get an error. Please tell how to do that?
How can I use Skype's Java API inside an Android app?
As of the current writing of this answer, there is no Android implementation of Skype. There are numerous third-party chat APIs, although I personally can't name one since I haven't worked with any.
The reason why the Skype4Java API is throwing errors at you is because it was not designed for use with Android. To delete the .jar file, you must remove all references to it and remove it from your build path for attempting a delete.
