How to integrate a java project into an existing Android Studios project

Question

I'm building my first Android app and I found a java project on github that I would like to integrate with my app. Is it possible for me to manually add the java files to my android project directory at

app -> java -> com.example.appname

The src -> main directory of the java client has a nested file structure so I'm not sure if this would cause issues.

I already tried the solution from this post but I didn't see the option presented in step 2 How to import existing java project into android studio?

"I found a java project on github" -- you could add it as a gradle dependency in your project. — Bajal, Jan 06 '18 at 04:12
So if I do a remote binary dependency to the github repo I don't actually need to import anything into the project? Would this impact performance? — Omega Collision, Jan 06 '18 at 04:27

Please use java code in MainActivity.java or other Activity. It Will work.same code you applied on java will also work on Activity .java

The github repo has a lot of java files so it wouldn't be practical to just copy and paste the code into an activity – Omega Collision Jan 06 '18 at 04:38
It will possible by reading code line by line and then apply. – Pawan Soni Jan 06 '18 at 06:54

When I get to step 3 it tells me "Specify location of the Gradle or Android Eclipse project" and I can't click the finish button. I downloaded and unzipped the folder to my local machine – Omega Collision Jan 06 '18 at 05:09
can you give link of that project – Suraj Vaishnav Jan 06 '18 at 05:11
