Android Studio cannot find AAR packages

Question

I am having a problem with Android Studio recognizing classes inside @aar library imported locally.

So ... I created a library and exported the aar file. Inside the Android studio, I selected Import Module and their Import .JAR or .AAR Package .

The project compiles and works with classes inside the aar file, but Android studio cannot find classes or offer automatic completion like that for everyone.

Here are some screenshots:

A similar problem occurs with other imported @aar libraries:

Any suggestions?

Edit:

build.gradle:

 ... dependencies { compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) compile project(':UpPlatformSdk') compile project(':simpleorm') ... // more libraries here } 

settings.gradle:

 include ':app', ':UpPlatformSdk', ':wear', ':simpleorm'

It looks like you could do this How to manually enable an external aar package using the new Android Gradle build system

If you have them in the lib folder

 repositories { flatDir { dirs 'libs' } } dependencies { compile(name:'UpPlatformSdk', ext:'aar') } 

Answer 2

This may not be the fastest way, but it works for autocompletion, and also solves my problem with missing classes when I tried to compile my local AAR using the @puj method described. Essentially, you need to create a local Maven repository to host the AAR, but any changes you make are pulled by the build system when you perform Gradle synchronization.
