Add gradle dependencies(build.gradle) in .aar file Android

I am having an android library project which is using third party libraries. I have created it's .aar file and imported the .aar file in a different project. Classes and resources are imported but the gradle libraries are not imported. I don't want to mention those dependencies again in the project. Is there any way to import that project with .aar file or something else which include build.gradle or dependencies.

Solution

AAR file does not include external dependencies which are mention in app/build.gradle so instead of adding it directly we upload to local maven and integrate it.

To upload it in your local maven you can add the following function in app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'maven'

uploadArchives {
    repositories {
        mavenDeployer {
            repository(url: "file://localhost" + System.getenv("HOME") + "/.m2/repository")
            pom.version = '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
            pom.groupId = 'your.package'
            pom.artifactId = 'sdk-name'
        }
    }
}

You can change the pom version, groupId and artifactId according to how you want to use it.

If this process is completed you can integrate the library.

In the app/build.gradle of the project in which you want to add the library specify the path.

implementation 'your.package:sdk-name:1.0-SNAPSHOT'
In the project/build.gradle add the following
```
allprojects{
    ...
    mavenLocal()
}
```
This will search for the library in the local machine.

If still, you get some error try to invalidate caches and restart the android-studio from the File Menu.
