I'm trying to build my java based android app through building as a module inside AOSP source. My app uses android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout. But, I didn't find a direct way to include constraint-layout dependency in my Android.mk.
I've put my project under AOSP_ROOT/packages/apps and tried with this Android.mk:
LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_MODULE_TAGS := optional
LOCAL_PRIVILEGED_MODULE := true
LOCAL_PACKAGE_NAME := MyApp
LOCAL_PRIVATE_PLATFORM_APIS := true
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := $(call all-java-files-under, java)
LOCAL_MANIFEST_FILE := AndroidManifest.xml
LOCAL_AAPT_FLAGS := \
--auto-add-overlay \
--extra-packages android.support.constraint
LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_LIBRARIES := \
android-common \
android-support-v4 \
android-support-constraint-layout-solver
LOCAL_STATIC_JAVA_AAR_LIBRARIES := \
android-support-constraint-layout
include $(BUILD_PACKAGE)
But, this comes up with build error:
ninja: error: 'out/target/common/obj/JAVA_LIBRARIES/android-support-constraint-layout_intermediates/aar/classes.jar', needed by 'out/target/common/obj/APPS/MyApp_intermediates/AndroidManifest.xml', missing and no known rule to make it 20:57:54 ninja failed with: exit status 1
What I understand - it is searching for classes.jar which could be built from .aar file, but it is missing. However, the answer here solves the issue: How to include constraint layout library in an AOSP project
But, the problem is, that answer suggests to add external constraint-layout.aar and constraint-layout-solver.jar within my project libs directory.
My question, is it possible to add constraint-layout support in my project using built-in library inside AOSP without adding external .aar and .jar to my project?
