dependency implementation "org.apache.http.impl.client:client-DefaultHttpClient:4.2.5" cannot be found on android studio gradle

I added the dependency org.apache.http.impl.client:client-DefaultHttpClient:4.2.6 on build.gradle for my android studio project. (Just for context, I am trying to use HttpClient to access help access data in php files). However, when I try to apply this dependency, I get an output message saying that my execution failed for the following reason:
8: Task failed with an exception.
-----------
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugNativeLibs'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
> Could not find org.apache.http.impl.client:client-DefaultHttpClient:4.2.5.
Searched in the following locations:
- https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/org/apache/http/impl/client/client-DefaultHttpClient/4.2.5/client-DefaultHttpClient-4.2.5.pom
- https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/http/impl/client/client-DefaultHttpClient/4.2.5/client-DefaultHttpClient-4.2.5.pom
Required by:
project :app
The implementation is being searched for online, but I am not sure why this is the case, since I have a .jar file
located in the cache subfolder of a .gradle folder. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

Android synchronization failed

I am new to android developing. I am trying to open an existing project and get it to compile. this the first time for me using android studio and the Gradle file got me a little confused.
I am trying to synchronize it but it is failing. This is the content of Gradle.build
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

I downloaded this project and I have it in my Desktop. this is what I get in my build messages:

Looking at your logs you must change debuggable: true to debuggable = true
Did you try it?

Wrong use. Try this;

In Android Studio, Change the View from Android to Project and inside your app >> libs paste your .jar files
Then right click on your .jar file and select Add As Library
It will sync your project and added as gradle dependency

Building android studio module fails to find the package as dependency

I've imported a module to android studio from eclipse and when I want to import a class from this module, the build fails with this error message:
/home/matias/workspace/Apps/app/src/main/java/io/example/app/MainActivity.java:8: error: package com.example.components.activities does not exist

The module components builds successfully (using 'Build > Make Module 'components'), the problem shows up when I try to build the app (again, 'Build > Make Module 'app').
here's the app build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

defaultConfig {
applicationId "io.example.app"

and the components build.gradle:

}
so.. What is happening here? I'm missing some configurations or steps?
Note: if I import com.example.components.activities.* gradle fails to find the package, but I can import com.example.openglvideorenderer.RenderView just fine from the openGLVideoRenderer module.
