Android HttpPost and HttpClient Substitute

Question

Just a quick question. Until now I have been using HttpClient and HttpPost to post a file and some parameters to a php script on my server. However they have been deprecated. I was wondering what i could use to substitute it. I found some answers on other posts but unfortunately i didn't manage to integrate any of them with the HttpMime Library that i am using for a MultiPartEntity post.

            HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();        // Deprecated
        HttpPost httpost = new HttpPost(inData[0].URL);         // Deprecated

            // Request To Entity
        MultipartEntity entity = new MultipartEntity();
            // Add Parameters
        for(Request r : inData[0].Params)
            entity.addPart(r.Key, new StringBody(r.Body));
            // Add File
        entity.addPart("img", new FileBody(inData[0].FileToUpload));

        httpost.setEntity(entity);

        HttpResponse responsePOST = httpclient.execute(httpost);    // Deprecated
        HttpEntity resEntity = responsePOST.getEntity();            // Deprecated
        if (resEntity != null)
            inData[0].RequestResult.add(EntityUtils.toString(resEntity));
        else
            throw new Exception("");
        return inData[0];

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        inData[0].RequestResult.add("ERROR");
    }
    return inData[0];

Would anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

At my job we also used the apache libraries but we have replaced them with okHTTP.

More information about okHTTP can be found here: http://square.github.io/okhttp/

Information about uploading multipart files can be found here:
