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

Unlike Eclipse we don't need to download jar and put it in /libs folder. Gradle handles these things we only need to add Gradle dependencies, Gradle downloads it and puts in gradle cache.

We need to add dependencies as:

dependencies {implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'}

thats it However we can also download jar & add that as library but the best practice is to add Gradle dependencies.
