将多个库模块合并为一个

Question

I am trying to merge multiple modules of my android library into one single block of implementation. eg

I have 3 modules which when uploaded to Maven gives 3 implementation blocks:

implementation 'com.example.sdk:core:1.0.2'
implementation 'com.example.sdk:feature1:1.0.2'
implementation 'com.example.sdk:feature2:1.0.2'

but I want to merge them into a single one like: implementation 'com.example.sdk:android-sdk:1.0.2'

So that users who want all, core and features can implement using a simple implementation line instead of multiple. Can this be possible?

I am using these classpaths in my main project:

classpath 'com.vanniktech:gradle-maven-publish-plugin:0.18.0'
classpath 'org.jetbrains.dokka:dokka-gradle-plugin:1.4.10.2'

Inside every library module adding a new gradle.properties file and adding the following segment of code in that:

GROUP=com.example.sdk 
POM_ARTIFACT_ID=core 
VERSION_NAME=1.0.2 

POM_NAME=core 
POM_PACKAGING=aar 

POM_DESCRIPTION=Test for multi-module lib 
POM_INCEPTION_YEAR=2021 

POM_URL=GITHUB_URL 
POM_SCM_URL= GITHUB_URL 
POM_SCM_CONNECTION= GITHUB_URL.git 
POM_SCM_DEV_CONNECTION=scm:git@GITHUB_URL 

POM_LICENCE_NAME=The Apache Software License, Version 2.0
POM_LICENCE_URL=http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt 
POM_LICENCE_DIST=repo

and pushing to maven with ./gradlew publish --no-daemon --no-parallel

Please let me know if any more information is required.

Answer 1

Try create a file named ./folder-deps/my-core.gradle with content bellow:

dependencies{
  implementation 'com.example.sdk:core:1.0.2'
  implementation 'com.example.sdk:feature1:1.0.2'
  implementation 'com.example.sdk:feature2:1.0.2'
}

In all build.gradle import your module from file my-core.gradle :

apply from: "$rootDir/folder-deps/my-core.gradle"
