java - NameValuePair deprecated for openConnection

Question

I been following online tutorials on how to insert data into a database from an android app and have everything working except this small part

List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", username));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", password));

NameValuePair and BasicNameValuePair have been deprecated in favor of openConnection(). How can I create a new-value association with that? http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/URL.html#openConnection()

Does anyone know how I can create name value pairs with openConnection? I been searching everywhere.

I just ran into the same problem. The deprecated classes from org.apache.http have been removed in API 23.

I ended up using android.util.Pair. It works perfectly, and the code is shorter too:

List<Pair<String, String>> params = new ArrayList<>();
params.add(new Pair<>("username", username));
params.add(new Pair<>("password", password));
