Date: 2017apr16 OS: Android Language: gradle Keywords: Android Studio Q. What's the best way to include an .aar that I make into several projects? A. There is all kind of advice out there. I don't want to copy the .aar to the folder of each project that uses it -- a chore when it changes. I don't want to make a submodule in the using project for the included .aar. Here is my solution: In the top-level build.gradle:

allprojects { repositories { jcenter() flatDir { // ADD THIS dirs 'e:/AndroidStudioProjects/SharedApp/shared/build/outputs/aar' } } }

In your app-level build.gradle:

dependencies { ... compile(name:'shared-release', ext:'aar') // ADD THIS }
