}

Want to create a *.aar file and use it my Xamarin android project How to do it?

Answer 1

We could use the following steps to create a Bindings Library from the.AAR file:

1. Create a new Java Bindings Library project.
2. Add a single.AAR file to the project. A binding project may only contain a single.AAR.
3. Set the appropriate build action for the.AAR file.
4. Choose a target framework that the.AAR supports.
5. Build the Bindings Library.

then we could add a reference to the Bindings Library in your Xamarin.android project.

for details, please refer to Binding an.AAR
