This person in this thread is having the same compile error as us.

Can't compile to Android

I am trying to compile to Android but I get an error. First I tried with my game but now I am trying with a new project and the error is the same, so I guess that something is not configured properly. I am on Windows (but I have a similar or the same problem in Linux before…). Cocos 3.10, JDK 8u45, NDK r10e, SDK tools 24.4.1, Andorid 6.0 (API 23). This is the end of the output: -code-gen: [mergemanifest] Merging AndroidManifest files into one. [mergemanifest] Manifest merger disabled. Using …

We are trying to compile for Android 6.0 with the “cocos” command in the command prompt.

System info:
Cocos 3.10, NDK r10e, SDK tools 24.4.1, Andorid 6.0 (API 23).

Error: import org.apache.http.Header

We have tried downloading “httpclient-4.5.1.jar” and “httpcore-4.4.3.jar” and put them in the “proj.android\libs” folder.

What are we doing wrong?

Really thankful for an answer.

Solved it. We needed to copy a file into our project.

Instructions if anyone else have this problem:

Copy from this folder where you have your Android SDK:
[YOUR DRIVE LETTER]:\adt-bundle\sdk\platforms\android-23\optional

Name of the file to copy:
org.apache.http.legacy.jar

Copy this file into your project folder at location:
[YOUR PROJECT PATH]\cocos2d\cocos\platform\android\java\libs

Now the project can build with the org.apache.http.legacy.jar file and compilation succeeds.
