3) Edit Java Files
3.1) MainActivity.java

Refer the variable declaration below...
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> contactList = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
If you don’t initialize the variable e.g.…
ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>> contactList;
...you will get the following error…
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.util.ArrayList.add(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference

3.2) ServiceHandler.java
package com.notarazi.myapplication;

/**

4) Edit Application Configuration
4.1) Android Manifest
Include permission to use Internet.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.notarazi.myapplication" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

<activity android:name=".MainActivity" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

4.2) Build.Gradle (Module:app)
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.notarazi.myapplication"
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
