How to use local aar dependency?
Solution 1:
I was getting the same errors.
This was the only thing that helped me:
dependencies {
compile(name:'nameOfYourAARFileWithoutExtension', ext:'aar')
}
repositories{
flatDir{
dirs 'libs'
}
}
Reference: Adding local .aar files to Gradle build using "flatDirs" is not working
Solution 2:
In my case a have to distribute an aar. When i import the aar in another project this error appears. I solve this problem distributing the aar with a maven dependency structure (pom, md5, etc...)
publishing {
publications {
maven(MavenPublication) {
groupId "<GROUP_ID>"
artifactId "<ARTIFACT_ID>"
version <VERSION>
artifact "$buildDir/outputs/aar/<AAR_FILE>"
pom.withXml {
def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode("dependencies")
configurations.compile.allDependencies.each { dependency ->
def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode("dependency")
dependencyNode.appendNode("groupId", dependency.group)
dependencyNode.appendNode("artifactId", dependency.name)
dependencyNode.appendNode("version", dependency.version)
}
}
}
}
repositories {
maven {
url "$buildDir/repo"
}
}
}
On the android application i need to add the local maven repository:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "<LOCAL_REPO>"
}
}
}
And add the dependency:
compile("<GROUP_ID>:<ARTIFACT_ID>:<VERSION>@aar") {
transitive = true
}
