Sorry for the late response. You can import the driver by cloning the repository (https://github.com/Ic-ks/contrib-drivers.git) and using the import function of Android Studio in your project: File->New->Import-Module. Then select <CLONE_DIR>/contrib-drivers/ws2812b. The import function will copy ws2812 driver to your project. If you don't want a copy of the driver you could create a relative path dependency like described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24975745/gradle-dependencies-compile-project-by-relative-path
