How to escape a string in Android?

I can not find an answer to that and I do not know how to compile org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils, which is the only solution I found on the internet.

Also, I do not understand why I can not do something like this

s = s.replaceAll(" ","\\ ");

Use this:

String urlStr = "http://abc.dev.domain.com/0007AC/ads/800x480 15sec h.264.mp4";
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
URI uri = new URI(url.getProtocol(), url.getUserInfo(), url.getHost(), url.getPort(), url.getPath(), url.getQuery(), url.getRef());
url = uri.toURL();

Source: Url encoding in Android
This should be the correct answer in that post.

I think you can use

URLEncoder.encode("your URL here", "UTF8")
