it does not really help. Sure, it is a mandatory step; but adding the aar alone does NOTHING.

But you also need to use javaobject to work with it or alternatively write a wrapper for it.

 

[Zeev Goldstein]

Oops
So it seems that it is useless without the wrapper

Any one can write such a wrapper?

You can post a joboffer in the job-forum and pay someone to write it for you.

I'm not a pro when it comes with this, but I don't think this is correct.

It's more something like:

1. Either make an aar accessible with #AdditionalJar and then use it via JavaObject (here's an example).

... or ...

2. Make a wrapper - and here I can't say anything else, because I don't have a clue


I have read several times that if the aar is simple, the first one is preferable. If it's big and complex then a wrapper probably is better.

It's more something like

i already wrote that in #4

Yep, that's true.

I merely clarified because @Zeev Goldstein seemed to be under the impression that he actually needed a wrapper, which might not be true. It seemed friendlier to me to post a more detailed explanation in #7 rather than simply posting "you didn't fully understand #4, keep reading it until you do".
