How to use external libraries in Android Studio

One of the most important lessons I overly learned as a developer, although it took some time to sink in, was “don’t reinvent the wheel.” Understanding how to use libraries in Android Studio is a big part of that.

In other words: if you need to perform a worldwide task, you probably don’t need to write the lawmaking yourself. It might finger like “cheating” to use someone else’s lawmaking to resize a bitmap or modify a string but, in truth, it’s just good sense. That goes double for self-sustaining developers that don’t have a ton of time and resources to throw at every project.
