Android How aar with Dependency Tree Generates of Recommendation

Introduction

Android Studio default aar will only contain the source code of this project, and will not carry the source code that library depends on; However, some of our commonly used dependency libraries 1 are generally dependent (by setting transitive = true To penetrate the dependency tree). The following explains how this aar with dependencies is generated

Code

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply plugin: 'maven'
apply plugin: 'maven-publish'
apply plugin: 'me.vigi.fat-aar'
buildscript {
  repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {      url "http://dl.bintray.com/vigidroid/maven"
    }
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'me.vigi:fat-aar-plugin:0.2.8'
  }
}
dependencies {
  compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
  compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
  embed 'com.google.auto.service:auto-service:1.0-rc2'
  embed 'com.squareup:javapoet:1.7.0'
}

As above code, someone has written a special plug-in to complete this function; For 3-party libraries that want to have dependencies, they can be introduced in the way of embed. 3-party plug-in Github address
