Missing "import .jar/aar package" option in add new module

Question

Trying to import .aar file into project but cannot find the option of import .jar/aar package inside the add new module.

Answer 1

Copy your aar/jar file to module "libs" folder ( create "app\libs" folder if not exist ) and add this line to your module Build.gradle file:

implementation files('libs/your_lib_name.aar')

Answer 2

You must have a project-level "libs" folder. If you have this directory with .aar/.jar files, you can just add a new .aar/.jar file to this folder.

If you don't have this directory, see this answer

But you can use this:

implementation fileTree (dir: "libs", include: ["* .jar", "* .aar"])

instead of adding a new file implementation to the gradle every time:

implementation files('../libs/testaarfile.aar')
