Is it possible to declare git repository as dependency in android gradle?

Question

I want to use master version of my lib from mavencentral.

Is it possible to declare git repository as dependency in android gradle?

Answer 1

Or you can register a repository as a submodule like this

$ git submodule add my_sub_project_git_url my-sub-project

Then include the project in your settings.gradle file which should look like this

include ':my-app', ':my-sub-project'

Finally, compile the project as a dependency in your application build.gradle file like this

dependencies {
  compile project(':my-sub-project')
}

Then, when cloning your project, you will only have to add the option --recursive to make git automatically clone the root repository, and all its submodules.

git clone --recursive my_sub_project_git_url

I hope it helps.
