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:
java.lang.NullPointerException

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
