I am used to importing library as .jar file but I don't know how to use the projects from github like this: https://github.com/jfeinstein10/SlidingMenu/

I want to use it in my existing project. I tried including the project file in the dependencies but it's giving me some errors

I already explained in this post how to use a project library in android studio. But I know especially at the beginning it's not that easy until you understand the structur of AS-Projects. So here an explanation for your issue:

I'm adding project libraries to my projects by configuring the gradle files of my project like this:

  • create a folder in your root project directory named 'libs'
  • copy the complete folder 'library' of the SlidingMenu project on git into 'libs'
  • rename the folder 'library' that you just copied to e.g. "SlidingMenuLibrary" (just to avoid confusion)

  • now add this library in your settings.gradle with the following command: 

    include ':libs:SlidingMenuLibrary'

  • go to your build.gradle file of your AppProject and add the following line to your 'dependencies':

    compile project(':libs:SlidingMenuLibrary')

  • at least you have to sync your gradle files: Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files

Please try this. If you get errors please post the log file.
