Android 通过 HttpClient 获取网络资源

Android通过HttpClient获取网络资源已经过时了吗？

如：获取网络中的一张图片。

Class HttpUtil{
public byte[] getImageByHttpClient(String imagePath){
byte[] by = null;
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(imagePath);
try{
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
if(httpResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode==200){
by=EntityUtils.toByteArray(httpResponse.getEntity());
}
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStaticTrace();
}
return by;
}
}
