Whats the proper way to add Github library to Android Studio?

Question

I'm trying to add library in Android Studio Project, but I am getting an error:

Error:Configuration with name 'default' not found.

All I have done is followed tutorials and guides from Stack Overflow

1. First added the library to root of my project.

2. then went to my settings.gradle and done that

   include ':app'
   include ':ImagePicker'
   project(':ImagePicker').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../ImagePicker/library')
   

3. then went to my dependencies and in app.gradle

   compile project(':ImagePicker')
   

but still getting particular stated error.

There is a much better way to add this library to your project:

Add this permission to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
  repositories {
    // Add this line
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
  }
}

Add ImagePicker dependency to your app's build.gradle file:

dependencies{
    compile 'com.github.Mariovc:ImagePicker:1.2.0'
}

In that case you don't need to add the source code to your libray. This should also speedup your app compile time since the library doesn't need to be compiled again and again. So you will use the library as a normal dependency.
