How to add a library through Android Studio

Question

For my project, I would like to use the USB Serial For Android Library, from mik3y.

I tried to follow these step to link the library to my project, from Eclipse. But it won't work.

So I would like to know how to add this library through Android Studio.

Can you guide me please ?

Did you succeed in adding this module in your project ? I want to do the same. — Rajesh, Oct 28 '16 at 12:49

You can download the code source from Github and import the library as a module in Android studio.

Download and extract the source code in a folder
In android studio: File -> New -> Import module
browse to the location when you extracted the library and select usbSerialForAndroid, then OK
Let Android studio sync, you may need to do some changes in the buil.gradle file of the new module if you use different Android API
Now, File -> Project Structure -> app -> dependencies -> add module dependencies and select your module
