Question

I get the following error:

        super.deliverError(error);

Call to the class:

CustomMultipartRequest req = new CustomMultipartRequest(URL, //url where you want to send the multipart request
    elistener, //instance of onErrorResponse Listener
    rlistener, //instance of onResponse Listener
    entityBuilder);
req.setShouldCache(false);
RequestQueue rq = Volley.newRequestQueue(context);
rq.add(req);

Can you help me to solve this error?

Thanks in advance ;)

Possible duplicate of Getting NoSuchFieldError INSTANCE org/apache/http/message/BasicHeaderValueParser – Oleo

@shayanpourvatan let me try that; – Particular

to use that libraries i need to remove useLibrary {apache}??..@shayanpourvatan – Particular

yes you need to remove that – Oleo

@shayanpourvatan getting the same error by using httpmime library and http core – Particular

Answer 1

Is a error of the library version try with this versions

 implementation 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.3'
    api 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.4.6'
    api 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6'

Thanks for your answer. Can someone give him an Oscar? – Suicide

great answer ! are the authors of the lib aware of this ? – Cosma

That's really helped, from where you find out this? any official form or documentation link about this library error? – Faxon

How to inform the developers, as of now May 2021 still same error exists. – Stumpf

You are a saviour!!! – Boating

Answer 2

implementation('org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6') {
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
    }
implementation 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5'
