Answer 2

I see so many complicated answer.

All this confused me while I was adding my Aquery jar file in the new version of Android Studio.

This is what I did :

Copy pasted the jar file in the libs folder which is visible under Project view.

And in the build.gradle file just added this line : compile files('libs/android-query.jar')

PS : Once downloading the jar file please change its name. I changed the name to android-query.jar

In the project right click

-> new -> module

Answer 4

This is how you add jar files from external folders

1) Click on File and there you click on New and New Module

2) New Window appears ,,There you have to choose the Import .JAR/.AAR package .

3) Click on the path option at the top right corner of the window ...And give the whole path of the JAR file .

4)click on finish.

Now you have added the Jar file and You need to add it in the dependency for your application project

1)Right click on app folder and there you have to choose Open Module Settings or F4

2)Click on dependency at the top right corner of the current window .

3)Click on '+' symbol and choose 'Module Dependency' and It will show you the existed JAR files which you have included in your project ...

Choose the one you want and click 'OK/Finish'

Thank you

Updated answer for Android Studio 2

The easy and correct way to import a jar/aar into your project is to import it as a module.

New -> Module

Select Import .JAR/.AAR Package

Select the .JAR/.AAR file and put a module name

Add the module as a dependency

Answer 6

This is the way I just did on Android Studio version 1.0.2

• I have created a folder libs in [your project dir]\app\src
• I have copied the jtwitter.jar (or the yambaclientlib.jar) into the [your project dir]\app\src\libs directory
• The following the menu path: File -> Project Structure -> Dependencies -> Add -> File Dependency, Android Studio opens a dialog box where you can drag&drop the jar library. Then I clicked the OK button.

At this point Gradle will rebuild the project importing the library and resolving the dependencies.
