So i have created a Android-Library and succesfully compiled it into a .aar file i called this aar file: "projectx-sdk-1.0.0.aar"
now i want my new project to depend on this aar so what i have did is follow this post: http://life.nimbco.us/referencing-local-aar-files-with-android-studios-new-gradle-based-build-system/
But the post confuses me since i do not get the desired result:
The package name of the aar is : com.projectx.photosdk
and the module inside is called sdk
here is my current project structure:
|-SuperAwesomeApp
|--.idea
|--gradle
|--App
|---aars
|----projectx-sdk-1.0.0.aar
|---build
|---jars
|---src
|---build.gradle
And he is my gradle build file:
apply plugin: 'android'
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
flatDir {
dirs 'aars'
}
}
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 19
buildToolsVersion "19.0.1"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 11
targetSdkVersion 19
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
runProguard false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:19.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.0.1'
compile 'com.projectx.photosdk:sdk:1.0.0@aar'
// compile files( 'aars/sdk-1.0.0.aar' ) // Does not work either
}
// EDIT
The errors i am getting:
Failed to refresh Gradle project 'SuperAwesomeApp'
Could not find com.projectx.photosdk:sdk:1.0.0.
Required by:
SuperAwesomeApp:App:unspecified
You put your flatDir
block in the wrong repostories
block. The repositories
block inside buildscript
tells Gradle where to find the Android-Gradle plugin, but not the rest of the dependencies. You need to have another top-level repositories
block like this:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
flatDir {
dirs 'aars'
}
}
I tested this and it works okay on my setup.
