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:1.9'

    Edit 2:

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

    Thanks @OoDeLally!
