How to get one aar file dependency to another aar file?

Question

I am a plugin developer, my plugin have dependency of two aar libraries. When i am exporting as aar archive my dependent libraries not part of it.my project structure is like below mentioned

App  
lib1  
 --aartool   
lib2   
lib3

lib1 has the dependency of lib2 , lib3 and aartool files. App has aar dependency of lib1 .

Lib1 using some of the customized components from aartool after that lib1 as converted to aar and used to application .But, whatever file we accessed from aartool which is not available in application and throwing classnotfoundException

Is there any way to implement these dependencies as aar ?

Always i need to carry lib1 aar to application, i don't want to carry all other dependencies.

I am not sure I understand it correctly, but I believe you just need to add transitive dependendcies like in this question or in this .

Example:

compile ('com.foo:FOO:1.0.0@aar'){
       transitive=true
}

If you have circular dependencies you may encounter serious problems! I strongly recommend you to fix this.
