没有依赖项的create.aar文件

Question

I am trying to create .aar file from Android Studio. The code I have written needs appcomapt v7 library. I don't want to add the dependency in the build.gradle file of my aar package but want it to take from the project it is added. Please suggest how to do it ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to add it to your library module to use all the classes that Android needs, if your library doesn't use any of those classes, then you can make a jar library.

Now, when you compile your library in the app module, you can exclude the library dependency adding this to the compile line

compile('com.yourpage:yourlibrary:1.0.0'){
     exclude module: 'appcompat-v7'
}

Answer 2

I don't want to add the dependency in the build.gradle file of my aar package

You have to include it there, otherwise you can not compile your aar

but want it to take from the project it is added

You can still do that:

If your library declares appcompat-v7 version 23 and your app does not declare appcompat-v7 , version 23 will be used in your app.

If your library declares appcompat-v7 version 23 and your app declares appcompat-v7 version 24 , version 24 will be used in your app.
