Testing the library on the device

To test the library, you can use provided android app template, in the /testing-android-app folder

This template currently just shows the response from https://httpbin.org/headers if successfull, and the error message otherwise

cd testing-android-app
./gradlew clean instalDebug
adb shell am start -n cz.msebera.android.httpclient.test/.MainActivity

If everything goes well, you should see, within seconds after running the last command, json with http headers of just finished HttpGet
