android - not able to import com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient;

Question

I am working on android studio and fetching some data from the web. I tried using OkHttpClient and also added jars to my project folder but still i am unable to import it.

It shows can't resolve symbol okhttp. I tried some solution but unable to solve the problem.Here is my build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.app"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }


}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
 //   compile files('libs/okhttp-3.0.1.jar')
   // compile files('libs/okio-1.6.0.jar')


}

Answer 1

Gradle should have a line like this

implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.0.1' 

and this is how you import it

import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;

Because OkHttpClient has been moved from package com.squareup.okhttp to okhttp3 in the last version.
