Answer 1

First of all you can use this library as dependency simply adding to your module/build.gradle this dependency:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.navasmdc:MaterialDesign:1.5@aar'
}

If you want to import locally as module, you have to add this part in your module/build.gradle: (this part is added in the top-level file in the library)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.+'
        classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-backports-compat23:2.3.5'
        classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.0'
        classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-plugin:1.2'
    }
}

Pay attention that this library is not updated with the last support libraries, and doesn't use the new design support library.

Add these lines in project.gradle dependencies:

    classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3'
    classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.2'

Answer 3

If you add:

classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-plugin:1.2'

it does not work some times, so add:

classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3'

To complete, add the following lines into importing module's build.gradle file.

buildscript { 

    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3'
        classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.0'
    }
}

enjoy coding.
