@Sateesh G answer is the better answer. Here are the steps I used to build volley as an aar on OS X. (Assuming you already have git, gradle, and android dev tools setup and working)

export ANDROID_HOME=~/.android-sdk/android-sdk-macosx
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley
cd volley

Configured roblectric and its dependencies

echo 'emulateSdk=18'>>src/test/resources/org.robolectric.Config.properties
cat<rules.gradle
allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}
dependencies {
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    testCompile 'org.apache.maven:maven-ant-tasks:2.1.3'
    testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito-core:1.9.5'
    testCompile 'org.robolectric:robolectric:2.4'
}
END

Build the aar

gradle wrapper
./gradlew clean build

Output files will be located under

build/outputs/aar

Finally to include the resulting aar files in your Android project; copy the volley-release.aar file to the libs subdirectory under your project and add the following to your projects build.gradle file

repositories {
    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}

compile('com.android.volley:volley-release:1.0.0@aar')
