Android studio - 链接外部库

Question

I'm having issues with linking the library to Android studio the correct way. I created external library and tried to link it to my project. What I actually did (not intended) was importing library but rather as a clone.
As a final result now there is duplicated source for my lib, one in actual library, one in project as imported module. Can I somehow link the library, so there is no actual source but a reference/link to it?

Screenshot of how lib is added to project:

PS: I used Project -> New-> Import Module with import option (first try I didn't have the import checkbox filled and the library was just empty)

There is no need for cloning the actual library or downloading it by yourself, you just need to import the library in the build.gradle file in your Android project like so:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "com.your.library:version.code"
    ...
}
