The one with "commons" is referencing the older HttpClient, when it was part of Apache Jakarta Commons. Android 1.0r2 has a more current edition of HttpClient, which is now a first-class Apache project, and was moved into the org.apache.http.* namespace. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
