If you use apply plugin   com android library   You can  convert  aar - gt   jar If you run a gradle task from AndroidStudio More  assembleRelease    or bundleReleaseAar   or via terminal   gradlew  lt moduleName gt  assembleRelease   or   gradlew  lt moduleName gt  bundleReleaseAar  then you will able to find  aar in  lt project path gt  build outputs aar  lt module name gt  aar   if you do not see it try to remove this folder and repeat the command   aar About  file is a zip file with aar extension that is why you can replace  aar with  zip or run unzip  quot  lt path to module name gt  aar quot

If you set up the code as a plain Java module in Gradle  then it s really easy to have Gradle give you a jar file with the contents  That jar file will have only your code  not the other Apache libraries it depends on  I d recommend distributing it this way  it s a little weird to bundle dependencies inside your library  and it s more normal for users of those libraries to have to include those dependencies on their own  because otherwise there are collisions of those projects are already linking copies of the library  perhaps of different versions   What s more  you avoid potential licensing problems around redistributing other people s code if you were to publish your library   Take the code that also needs to be compiled to a jar  and move it to a separate plain Java module in Android Studio    File menu   New Module      Java Library Set up the library  Java package name  and class names in the wizard   If you don t want it to create a class for you  you can just delete it once the module is created  In your Android code  set up a dependency on the new module so it can use the code in your new library  File   Project Structure   Modules    your Android Module     Dependencies       Module dependency  See the screenshot below   Choose your module from the list in the dialog that comes up     Hopefully your project should be building normally now  After you do a build  a jar file for your Java library will be placed in the build libs directory in your module s directory  If you want to build the jar file by hand  you can run its jar build file task from the Gradle window

the way i found was to find the project compiler output  project structure   project   then find the complied folder of the module you wish to turn to a jar   compress it with zip and change the extension of the output from zip to jar

In the Android Studio IDE  access the  Run Anything bar  by   CTRL CTRL  gradle CreateFullJarRelease ENTER  After that you ll find your artefact in this folder in your project Build  gt  Intermediates  gt  Full jar  gt  Release  gt  CreateFullJarRelease  gt  full jar    OR    Gradle has already a Task for that  in the gradle side-menu  under the other folder     Then scroll down to createFullJarRelease and click it     After that you ll find your artefact in this folder in your project  Build  gt  Intermediates  gt  Full jar  gt  Release  gt  CreateFullJarRelease  gt  full jar
