Android SDK: Adding the JAR in Android Studio

Locate the rskit-x.x.jar provided as part of your Android SDK.

The Android SDK can be downloaded here.

Put the rskit-x.x.jar in the "libs" folder.

Your application should have a `libs` folder under the `app` directory. If not, create it (i.e. `app/libs`) and place the JAR there.

Add the jar file as an external jar to your project.

Right-click the rskit-x.x.jar and select `Add as library`. Ensure that `compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])` is in your module build.gradle file under the dependencies tag.
Rskit has only one dependency which is google play services jar. You should have `compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0` inside your build.gradle file if your app
is leveraging google play services. If you don't have one please add.
```
dependencies { 
 compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0'
}
```

Your complete build.gradle file looks something like this:

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
  android {
     compileSdkVersion 21
     buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
 
     defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.retentionscience.helloworld"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
     }
     buildTypes {
         release {
             minifyEnabled false
             proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
         }
     }
 }
 
 dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
 }

Clean and rebuild your project.

Your project can now leverage rskit-x.x.jar.
