Publish to Maven as AAR

[andrew-codechimp]

Could we have this published as an AAR to make it easier to integrate when using Android Studio/Gradle.

The new android-maven-plugin version should support aar libraries. I'll try to find some time to test this...

This article explains how to do it fairly painlessly

I pushed my own library using that method and it's working well

I'm still waiting for a more stable android-maven-plugin version for this. Maybe you could submit a pull request with the necessary gradle files and I may be able to upload an aar artifact to maven.

[andrew-codechimp]

The gradle files are the easy bit, implementing the signing/nexus login properties that cannot be version controlled and only something you can do unfortunately.

[hameno]

OK, can you still provide the gradle files and a sample properties file - I'll adjust the rest :)

[andrew-codechimp]

I'll give it a go but just seen how many dependencies there are so will take a little more work.

Android Maven Plugin 3.8.2 with full aar support is now released and a new snapshot with aar packaging is now deployed, release will follow in the next days.

[intrications]

Is this available yet? Will it be on Maven Central?

[hameno]

Sorry, not yet released. Snapshots are available on sonatype.

I've just released version 1.4.0 which uses aar packaging, should be available in maven central in a few hours.
