Android M - Android deprecated apache module (HttpClient, etc)

Hi,

Do you have plans to release a new version of the Core API SDK that supports Android M since Apache module was deprecated.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29294479/android-deprecated-apache-module-httpclient-httpresponse-etc

How can I use it since now I can't use my app on a device with Android M?

I can't make any promises, but I'll pass this along as a request.

It looks like you should be able to enable the legacy library though, per the documentation:

I'm having this same issue. Unfortunately we cannot use the workaround mentioned at https://developer.android.com/preview/behavior-changes.html#behavior-apache-http-client because we using an older version of the Gradle plugin which does not have the "useLibrary" method, due to a separate issue (http://b.android.com/182254).

This will soon be an issue with every developer using the Dropbox SDK and trying to compile against the Android M SDK. I certainly hope you will make this a priority.

Thanks for the information!

I have Android Plugin Version 1.3.0 in my Android Studio and it seems I solved issue adding

useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

in my gradle.build file.

I hope this will help someone.
