Regular Java API Example

in General
Hello,
I found a Java example of how to use the oxford dictionaries API. However, it looks like that it is for using Android development as it uses libraries like (android.os) and (AppCompatActivity) that are for Android application development. I want a sample of how to use it in regular Java with the needed libraries.
Thank you.

Hello @mujtaba1990
The Java example maintained by our team is in the API Documentation page.
Please, see where to find them in the image attached. We would recommend following the examples we have in the API website, these are the examples supported by the Oxford Dictionaries API team.
I hope it helps!
@TaisFukushima but that's an example for Android applications. I want a normal one like the python example.
Hello @mujtaba1990 Sorry it isn't what you are looking for. I checked with my colleagues from the technology team and they have informed that the core bits of this example will work without Android in new and old Java versions. There are also many other ways to make the request using other Java libraries which may be easier or shorter. Please see this link.
I hope it helps! Let me know if you have further questions.
