How to add `Simple Framework` to gradle dependencies

Question

I'm trying to use Simple Framework in my project. Here is the dependency in XML format.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.simpleframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>simple-xml</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.1</version>
</dependency> 

I've tried converting the dependency to Gradle acceptable format.

compile 'simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.1'

But, I don't think it's correct. What is the correct gradle dependecy?

Answer 1

The correct Gradle dependency is:

compile 'org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.1'

For Android, you also have to exclude dependencies as they are already in the Android SDK

compile ('org.simpleframework:simple-xml:2.7.1') {
    exclude module: 'stax-api'
    exclude module: 'stax'
    exclude module: 'xpp3'
}
