How to add .aar file as a dependency in a Android library module

Question

I have .aar(MyLib.aar) file and i want to create a new android library (MyNewLib.aar) which is dependent on MyLib.aar

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 18
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

repositories{
    flatDir{
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}
dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile(name:'mylib', ext:'aar')

}

When the build is completed the classes that are references to MyLib.aar, are not in the newly created MyNewLib.aar

How to add .aar dependency in library module?

it doesn't work

Go to build-> intermediates -> exploded-aars -> your_aar -> your_classes, Is all classes there? If Yes, then there is some issue of dependencies or your `aar` has some issues!\ — AndiGeeky, Feb 20 '17 at 12:01
That means your `.aar` file is not properly generated. Generate `aar` again and try! — AndiGeeky, Feb 20 '17 at 12:17
