Publish an Android library to Maven with aar and source jar

Question

Can somebody give me a hint on how to use the maven-publish gradle plugin to publish a com.android.library project/module with aar and source jar?

Answer 1

If you want to avoid boilerplate codes, because the maven-publish plugin do not write dependencies into pom.xml

Try this plugin: android-maven-publish

publishing {
    publications {
        mavenAar(MavenPublication) {
            groupId 'com.example'
            artifactId 'mylibrary'
            version '1.0.0'
            from components.android
        }
    }

    repositories {
        maven {
            url "$buildDir/releases"
        }
    }
}
