Android okhttp library

Question

To use OkHttp in a Gradle build, I need to add the following dependency to the Gradle build.

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.5.0'

Does that mean I am using okhttp-urlconnection module which implements the familiar java.net.HttpURLConnection API OR the okhttp-apache module which implements the Apache HttpClient API?

okhttp is the http library implemented by Square. https://github.com/square — cgr, Dec 14 '15 at 10:07
Use `Response/Request` API. The others will be deprecated soon. Read this: https://publicobject.com/2015/12/15/okurlfactory-is-going-away/ — denvercoder9, Dec 15 '15 at 07:16

Have you copied Lines? :) :)

Documentations Says:

You can try out OkHttp without rewriting your network code. The okhttp-urlconnection module implements the familiar java.net.HttpURLConnection API and the okhttp-apache module implements the Apache HttpClient API.

OkHttp supports Android 2.3 and above. For Java, the minimum requirement is 1.7.

It means you can use this library classes. I have used this library with retrofit.

import com.squareup.okhttp.OkHttpClient;
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient();
RestAdapter restAdapter = new RestAdapter.Builder()
            .setEndpoint(ContextConstants.REPORT_SUBMIT_PATH)
            .setClient(new OkClient(okHttpClient))
            .build();
