You can use okhttp

You can do it with code, or if you ship your app with Conveyor (disclosure: my product) you can do it at packaging time. The latter is simple and works with any SSL stack transparently

https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/14.3/configs/jvm/#appjvmadditional-ca-certs

but if you don't want to use that then you'll have to configure the java ssl stack yourself (or switch to a different http stack like okhttp that also supports this)

And you know how i configure the java ssl stack by myself?

@Sabeeh thanks but I prefer not to allow the certificate in the http client, because it does not work with some external libraries like coil
