Android, How to include specific library in project that is not a JAR file?

I am trying to include this library in my android project, but there is no JAR file, or compile statement to put into my build.gradle file.

I've put their sample code in my project:

// Retrieve the CalendarView
MultiCalendarView multiMonth = (MultiCalendarView) findViewById(R.id.multi_calendar);

but I get a Cannot resolve symbol 'MultiCalendarView' error. I'm not sure which files from the Github page I need to include into my project, or even how to do it.

I am using the newest release of Android Studio.

SOLUTION EDIT

It was an issue importing the Calendar module into the project.

For Android Studio:

File -> Import Module...

And then follow the steps in Mike Laren's answer below.

Holo-calendar doesn't release binaries on public repositories so you have to build it from source. To do so, pull the latest code to a submodule and include it in your Gradle build by adding this to your settings.gradle:

include 'Calendar'

The folder structure should be:

Root
  - YourApp
  - Calendar
  - settings.gradle

Finally, add a module dependency to the build.gradle of your app:

dependencies {
    compile project(':Calendar')
}

And that should be it!
