Android Studio: Add jar as library?

Question

I\'m trying to use the new Android Studio but I can\'t seem to get it working correctly.

I\'m using the Gson library to serialize/deserialize JSON-o

Answer 1

Put the .jar files in libs folder of the Android project.

Then add this line of code in the app's gradle file:

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

For Android gradle plugin 3.0 and later, it is better to use this instead:

    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
