I am doing android custom ROM development now. the build system of aosp is based on Android.mk, But I want to include some aar libraries, is it possible to include aar libaries in Android.mk ?


Solution

  • You should add following blocks into your Android.mk

    LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_AAR_LIBRARIES:= <aar alias>
    .
    .
    .
    include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)
    
    include $(CLEAR_VARS)
    
    LOCAL_PREBUILT_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := <aar alias>:libs/<lib file>.aar
    
    include $(BUILD_MULTI_PREBUILT)
    

    Please also be aware of satisfy minSdkVersion required by library into your manifest file.
