I want to create a library of my own project which include java source code, resources (manifest, layout) file and I'm using Android Studio 2.1.2. Please give me any suggestions how I can create that one and also following one - 1) Want to create .jar library not .AAR.
2) How to add another library or any dependencies in to it, is it possible??

Thanks in advance.

You just need to change in your app's build.gradle file

search line 

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

and change it to

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

and most important thing remove line 

applicationId "your_package_name"

from the defaultConfig block. because libraries do not have application Id. and then build your project you'll find 'aar' folder inside you build folder.

projectfolder -> build -> output -> aar -> library_file

Edited :

and for Jar file please go through with the below command

Run gradlew makeJar command from your project root.

  • error - **android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {'pakage name of another app'.tabexample/'pakage name of library'.NextActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?** – Rajan Nalawade Sep 29 '16 at 06:36

build.gradle file 

build.gradle file  apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'

        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
    }
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

    publishNonDefault true

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 11
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

    sourceSets {
         main {
             //Path to your source code
            java {
                srcDir 'src/main/java'
            }
            resources {
                srcDir 'src/../lib'
            }
        }
    }

    // This is important, it will run lint checks but won't abort build
    lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
    compile files('libs/AdvancedWebView.jar')
    compile project(':ShortcutBadger')
    compile files('libs/commons-net-3.4.jar')
    compile files('libs/ksoap2-android-assembly-3.6.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar')
}

task clearJar(type: Delete) {
    delete 'release/' + POM_ARTIFACT_ID + '_' + VERSION_NAME + '.jar'
}

task makeJar(type: Copy) {
    from('build/intermediates/bundles/debug/')
    into('release/')
    include('classes.jar')
    rename ('classes.jar', POM_ARTIFACT_ID + '_' +  VERSION_NAME + '.jar')
}

makeJar.dependsOn(clearJar, build)

and this is my mainifest file 

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="package name">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:supportsRtl="true">

        <activity android:name=".SplashScreen"
            android:label="@string/app_name"/>

        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"                
     android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
        </activity>

        <activity android:name=".NextActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name"/>

    </application>

</manifest>
