I have to add .aar files as a library in a sub project in Android studio. It gives me an error.

Question

I have added the .aar files to libs folder in the sub-project. And have given the repositories as:

repositories {
 mavenCentral()
    mavenLocal()
    flatDir {
         


        

Answer 1

You need to set the dependencies too:

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar','*.aar'])

This can be done in the subprojects build.gradle.

Edit: You might need to specify the file itself:

compile(name:'name-of-file',ext:'aar')

Answer 2

In the repositories of your module: app

repositories {

    flatDir {
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}

Add the following in the dependencies of your module: app In the case that your have both a JAR and an AAR file, do the following.

dependencies 
{
  implementation (name: '***library name***', ext: 'aar')
  implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar', '*.aar'], )

}
