How to download libraries in Android Studio?

Question

Whenever I have to add certain library from the internet to my Android project, I add them inside the dependencies in the app level gradle script and it downloads the librar

Answer 1

Just go to Maven central and download the libraries.

For example, here is Volley. Just click the download JAR button.

I would strongly recommend sticking with Gradle / Maven, though, to keep consistency with versions and appropriately handle additional dependencies for the libraries you want to download. They are called package managers for a reason, and they do their job well.

The libraries are actually downloaded to disk only once and shared between projects, they aren't downloaded for every new project.
