How to add org.apache.commons.lang3 to AndroidStudio with gradle

Due to this question I want to use class StringEscapeUntils in package org.apache.commons.lang3.

But when I try to import Apache lib by add line compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-collections4:4.0' to build.grade file then can not import the class above.

Is there any one can help me how to import above one to my project via gradle (not by download .jar and put them into project folder).

I think dependency for StringUtils you are using is not proper.

Please add below dependency to gradle and Sync project and import your class.

implementation 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.6'

This on is using deprecated task (but should still works):

compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.5'

Edit:

As OoDeLally mentioned in a comment,

Above mentioned version is deprecated, Please use below dependency:

implementation 'org.apache.commons:commons-text:1.6'

Edit 2:

deprecated as for July 2019. Use stackoverflow.com/a/55567755/1541141 instead

Thanks @OoDeLally!

for StringUtils you need to add in app.gradle

implementation 'org.apache.commons:commons-text:1.7'

StringEscapeUtils class moves to org.apache.commons:commons-text. pakage.

For StringEscapeUtils you needs to add 'org.apache.commons:commons-text:1.6' dependencie.

After adding

implementation 'org.apache.commons:commons-text:1.7'

in build.gradle as mentioned above, some of you might be facing the following exception on rebuild:

Invoke-customs are only supported starting with android 0 --min-api 26

In this case, just add the follwing in your build.gradle as well:

android {
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
}

NOTE:

The example above is for Java 8. For those who are on Java 7, simply replace 1_8 by 1_7.
