I have added this line to my build.gradle
compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents' , name: 'httpclient-android' , version: '4.3.5'
and I want to use MultipartEntityBuilder in my code. However Android studio doesn't add the library to my code.
Can anyone help me with this?

If you are using target SDK as 23 add the below code in your build.gradle
android{
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
Additional note here: don't try using the gradle versions of those files. They are broken (28.08.15). I tried over 5 hours to get it to work. It just doesn't.
not working:
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.1'
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5'
Another thing don't use:
'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1'
It's referring to 21 API level.

The accepted answer does not seem quite right to me. There is no point dragging a different version of HttpMime when one can depend on the same version of it.
compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents' , name: 'httpclient-android' , version: '4.3.5'
compile (group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents' , name: 'httpmime' , version: '4.3.5') {
exclude module: 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient'

Try adding this to your dependencies:
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.4-alpha1'
And generally if you want to use a library and you are searching for the Gradle dependency line you can use Gradle Please
EDIT: Check this one too.

None of the others worked for me. I had to add the following dependency, as explained here
compile group: 'cz.msebera.android' , name: 'httpclient', version: '4.4.1.1'
because I was targeting API 23.

However this only works if you are using gradle 1.3.0-beta2 or greater, so you will have to add this to buildscript dependencies if you are on a lower version:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0-beta2'
I searched over and over this solution works like a charm ::
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.anzma.memories"
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
packagingOptions {
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/NOTICE'
exclude 'META-INF/LICENSE'
exclude 'META-INF/DEPENDENCIES'
exclude 'META-INF/notice.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/license.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/dependencies.txt'
exclude 'META-INF/LGPL2.1'
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

I don't know why but (for now) httpclient can be compiled only as a jar into the libs directory in your project.
HttpCore works fine when it is included from mvn like that:
dependencies {
compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.3'
