Implementing uz.shift:colorpicker:0.5 in build.gradle

I imported the LeafPic project and I'm unable to sync the project. The error states that unable to resolve uz.shift:colorpicker:0.5. I searched for the web a lot and I couldn't find a solution.

Displayed error is:

Failed to resolve: uz:shiftcolorpicker:0.5
Show in Project Structure dialog
Affected Modules: app

recordnotfound.com states that the issue is 3 years old and it is still marked as an open issue.

A work around i found is to download the aar and import it as module. You can download the aar from the github for the repository or click here

Then you can follow the procedure here to import the module

You should remove dependencies in both build.gradle relating to uz.shift:colorpicker:0.5

Don't forget to add the module/library to your dependency like this:

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
........
implementation project(path: ':colorpicker-0.5')
........
}

Then sync your android studio project.
