Update JSONFetcher for API 23

[nickcapurso]

In API 23, functionality of Apache HTTP Components were brought into the Android APIs and deprecated the former. JSONFetcher still relies on the external API, so switching it over for API 23 will allow us to have a targetSdk level of 23.

We could also use OkHttp => an API that makes HTTP Request handling very easy.
Check it out here => https://github.com/square/okhttp
OR
We could also use Volley.

Yeah, Volley is the one shown on the developer guides. Using the JsonObjectRequest format will probably be the best in terms of the least amount of new code needed.

Aside from that, we can also do it using the native methods. This would also not require significant code rewrite.

I agree, I am glad that we are on the same page.
