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

For newer Android 1.0.2 the following is already there in your build.gradle file

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

Add the library jar to your libs folder -> right click the library -> click add as a library -> it asks you for the project to add it for -> select your project-> click ok The following line is automatically added to build.gradle

implementation files('libs/android-query.jar')

That did it for me. nothing more was required. i have shown this for android aquery another third party library for android.
