Gradle Maven plugin “install” task does not work with Android library project

Question

I want to install android library project to local maven repository. Here is build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()

Elaborating on CyclingSir's answer, I propose to add a separate "installArchives" task. This should also take care of picking up your custom artifacts (e.g. sources).

apply plugin: 'maven'

task installArchives(type: Upload) {
  description "Installs the artifacts to the local Maven repository."
  configuration = configurations['archives']
  repositories {
    mavenDeployer {
      repository url: repositories.mavenLocal().url
    }
  }
}

Note that with Gradle Android plugin v0.5.5, gradle install still tries to install something on a device.
