I have a local aar file containing a custom View class (including a res/values/attrs.xml file).

I am aware that local aars don't work by default yet, and I have tried all the workarounds suggested here: How to manually include external aar package using new Gradle Android Build System (the Ran and Vipul answers).

However none of these solutions seem to pick up the custom View class. By that I mean it doesn't appear under "Custom View" in the layout editor.

Should this work? Or is there some additional gradle-fu voodoo required?

Even though this is super old I'm gonna give my two cents on it.
In my case, I had a custom view that inherits the RecyclerView class in the library project but could not access it from the project layout file.
It turned out that I had to add the recycler view dependency (or the com.android.support:design) in the project Gradle even though it was included in the library.
