In this blog,
We have shown you how to add manually the external aar file in your android application.

How to include 

Step 1: Put your aar file in the libs folder. And let’s take the file name is webkul.aar as an example.

Step 2: Put the following code in your Project level build.gradle  file,

allprojects { repositories { jcenter() flatDir { dirs 'libs' } } }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

allprojects {    repositories {       jcenter()       flatDir {         dirs 'libs'       }    } }

and in the app level module write the below code,

dependencies { compile(name:'webkul', ext:'aar') }

1 2 3

dependencies {     compile(name:'webkul', ext:'aar') }

Step 3: Then Click sync project with Gradle files.

If everything is working fine, then you will see library entry is made in build ->intermediates -> exploded-aar.

Or you can also follow these following steps,

1. Go to File>New>New Module
2. Select “Import .JAR/.AAR Package” and click next,
   
   
3. Enter the path to .aar file and click finish,

   

4. Go to File>Project Structure (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S) and go to dependencies tab,

   
   

5. Click the green “+” in the upper right corner,
   
6. Select “Module Dependency”,
7. Select the new module from the list,
