Is this a Module, Sub-Project, Library Project or something else?

Question

I am trying to install Android-GPU-Image in my project. https://github.com/CyberAgent/android-gpuimage

When I download the source, it's broken down as such:

The github project does not include install instructions (other than a dependency line that didn't work for me) so I am trying to figure out how to install a package like this.

My question is: What is the general name of this 'android-gpuimage' folder in the context of adding it to a project? Is this a Module, Sub-Project, Library-Project or what?

Update

Here is my gradle file

import java.util.regex.Pattern

apply plugin: 'android'

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.1'
    }
}

project.ext {
    multiarch = false
    compileSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(project.ANDROID_BUILD_SDK_VERSION)
    minSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(project.ANDROID_BUILD_MIN_SDK_VERSION)
    targetSdkVersion = Integer.parseInt(project.ANDROID_BUILD_TARGET_SDK_VERSION)
    buildToolsVersion = project.ANDROID_BUILD_TOOLS_VERSION
}

    }

            }
            x86 {

                ndk {

                }
            }
            all {
                ndk {

                }
            }
        }
    }

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    }

}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '1.12'
}

def getVersionCodeFromManifest() {
    def manifestFile = file(android.sourceSets.main.manifest.srcFile)
    def pattern = Pattern.compile("versionCode=\"(\\d+)\"")
    def matcher = pattern.matcher(manifestFile.getText())
    matcher.find()
    return Integer.parseInt(matcher.group(1))
}

Answer:

Needed to add

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

To my gradle, the one I already had was in the build script, I needed it outside that scope too.

What you have checked out of github is the entire project , which containes the library project and a sample project showing how to use the library.

To use the library , you would have to include the dependency in gradle as mentioned

 dependencies {
    compile 'jp.co.cyberagent.android.gpuimage:gpuimage-library:1.2.3'
}

The gradle file lets you know what kind of project it is for example ,a library project would have

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

and the main application project would have

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
