How to manually include external aar package using new Gradle Android Build System

In my case I have some depencies in my library and when I create an aar from it I failed, because of missed depencies, so my solution is to add all depencies from my lib with an arr file.



So my project level build.gradle looks so:



buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
//add it to be able to add depency to aar-files from libs folder in build.gradle(yoursAppModule)
flatDir {

dirs 'libs'
}
}
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}



build.gradle(modile app) so:



apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.sampleapp"

minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}

}
}

dependencies {
//your project depencies
...
//add lib via aar-depency
compile(name: 'aarLibFileNameHere', ext: 'aar')
//add all its internal depencies, as arr don't have it
...

}


and library build.gradle:



apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"


defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false

proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}

dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
//here goes library projects dependencies, which you must include
//in yours build.gradle(modile app) too
...

}

Those brackets declare an empty, inline constructor. In that case, with them, the constructor does exist, it merely does nothing more than t...
