Include Git Library with project on Android Studio using aar?
I'm new to Android Studio and haven't been able to figure out how to get this library to work with my application. Can anyone walk me through how to install and use in my project. I tried to add the project as a module, but it didn't work for me like other libraries / modules.
Here is the project I'm trying to add:
https://github.com/rengwuxian/MaterialEditText
Thank.
EDIT:
build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile project(':AndroidBootstrap')
compile project(':android-support-v4-preferencefragment-master')
compile project(':google-play-services_lib_lollipop')
compile 'com.rengwuxian.materialedittext:library:1.7.1'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
// Move the tests to tests/java, tests/res, etc...
instrumentTest.setRoot('tests')
// Move the build types to build-types/<type>
// For instance, build-types/debug/java, build-types/debug/AndroidManifest.xml, ...
// This moves them out of them default location under src/<type>/... which would
// conflict with src/ being used by the main source set.
// Adding new build types or product flavors should be accompanied
// by a similar customization.
debug.setRoot('build-types/debug')
release.setRoot('build-types/release')
}
}

I tried and I just add a line compile 'com.rengwuxian.materialedittext:library:1.7.1'
to my app folder build.gradle
so that
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.2'
compile 'com.rengwuxian.materialedittext:library:1.7.1'
}
Sync the gradle
... Then just use com.rengwuxian.materialedittext.MaterialEditText
instead EditText
in your xml layout to:
<com.rengwuxian.materialedittext.MaterialEditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="Basic"/>
MaterialEditText
directly inherited EditText
so you don't need to change your Java code.
