How to add .aar dependency in library module?

Question

I am having one .aar file of one library module.
I want to use it as a library or dependency in my other project\'s library module.
How do I do it?

Answer 1

In all modules (library or application) where you need the aar file you have to add in your build.gradle the repository:

repositories {
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}

and add the dependency:

dependencies {
   compile(name:'nameOfYourAARFileWithoutExtension', ext:'aar')
 }

You can use the top-level file to add the repositories, but you can't add the dependencies in the top-level file.
Pay attention to the relative path of the libs folder that you are using in the module.
