An asynchronous, callback-based HTTP client library for Android built on top of Apache's HttpClient libraries. It handles requests off the UI thread with a threadpool, supporting multipart uploads, gzip decoding, JSON response parsing, retries, and a persistent cookie store.
Use cases
- make async HTTP requests from an Android app
- upload files via multipart POST on Android
- parse JSON HTTP responses with callbacks
- retry HTTP requests on flaky mobile connections
- persist cookies across app sessions
- keep HTTP requests off the Android UI thread
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Android app already using loopj's async-http
- you need a tiny (~60kb) callback-based HTTP client on old Android versions
When to avoid
- starting a new Android project - the project is deprecated and insecure to use
- you need modern TLS/HTTP2 support or ongoing maintenance
- you prefer coroutine/Retrofit/OkHttp-based networking
