Adding kSOAP dependency to Gradle project

I'm trying to make kSOAP working in my Android project with Gradle.

This is my project's build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()

    maven {
        url 'http://ksoap2-android.googlecode.com/svn/m2-repo'
    }
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 18
    buildToolsVersion "18.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 7
        targetSdkVersion 18
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
    compile 'ch.acra:acra:4.5.0'
    compile 'com.google.guava:guava:12.0'
    compile 'com.google.code.ksoap2-android:ksoap2-android:3.0.0'
}

The library seems to be included in the project and compilation DOES work but when I try to import a class (ie SoapObject) it seems like the namespace does not even exist. The funny thing is that the other libraries (such as ACRA or Guava) are working fine. How can I solve this problem?

I am using @amitav13's solution but the URL of the repository has changed:

repositories {
        maven { url 'https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/ksoap2-android-releases' }
    }

Current version as of now is 3.6.0

compile 'com.google.code.ksoap2-android:ksoap2-android:3.6.0'

This did work for me.
