OkHttpClient

It is saying cannot find object OkHttpClient? What did I forget?

MovieActivity.java
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class MovieActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_movie);

        // Get some movie information!
        String apiUrl = "http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/movies.json?apikey=xyz&q=hobbit";
        OkHttpClient = new OkHttpClient();
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                                     .url(apiUrl)
                                     .build();
    }
}

Hello,

It looks like you forgot to give a variable name for the OkHttpClient object. You have: OkHttpClient = new OkHttpClient(); instead try OkHttpClient variableName = new OkHttpClient();

Make sure OkHttp is added to your dependencies (build.gradle - the app module one). It should have

compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.3.0'
