Add an Android binary library to an Eclipse project without gradle

I have a legacy eclipse Android project. The classic old way without gradle.
Suppose I found a library I want to integrate with, for example 'commons-codec', than quoting from gradle manual https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/organizing_build_logic.html#sec:external_dependencies, I need to paste the below in my gradle file: 

buildscript {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
        }
        dependencies {
            classpath group: 'commons-codec', name: 'commons-codec', version: '1.2'
        }
    }

Now my eclipse project does not use gradle.
The Question: Is there a way to get the binary lib & integrate with it in eclipse (something similar to download the library's jar and add it)? I know this question is bizarre since I need the jar to be in the repository, but I want to be sure I'm not overlooking anything.
Many Thanks!

If you are having .jar file the simply right click on your project then 

Properties-->Java Build Path-->Libraries-->Add Jar/ Add External Jar--> Apply

And if you are having library in your workspace then

 Properties-->Android-->Add-->locate your library-->Apply

If you're just using a jar, you can include it in the libs folder of the Eclipse project. But that's code only. If there's resources in the library, you'd need to build an Android Library project out of it and include that in your project. Which I'm not sure how you'd do without code.
