Adding Metadata-extractor library in Android Studio

I am trying to add metadata-extractor-2.8.1.jar in my android studio project.

But every time i hit "Add As Library" jar file doesn't add. Only Logs a Null pointer exception.

Below is the exception message:

I have the metadata-extractor-2.6.4.jar added to my project and it works fine. But i really need the upgrades brought by 2.8.1.

Any help is very much appreciated! Also, thanks in advance :)

Use the maven dependency, and add it like this

compile 'com.drewnoakes:metadata-extractor:2.8.1'

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.drewnoakes/metadata-extractor/2.8.1
