You can add the jar file in the android studio as follows:
1. Add a folder in your project named "Libs" and keep the jar files inside this folder , which you want to use in your project.
2. You will be able to see the jar file from android studio. Right click on the jar file and select the option "Add as Library" and Click
Ok.

First you have to click the top drop-down menu "Android" and choose "Project" to see the folders. 40-Love Jan 2 at 18:59

First copy the .jar file in yourproject/app/libs directory

Then open your gradle.build(Module:app) and copy compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') in dependencies{}
