Local Maven Repository and Libraries

Are you tired of waiting for a snapshot or a new version to be published? — Why not doing it yourself locally?

I have rewrote this story to make it more valuable for the readers.

Local Maven Repository

If what you want is just to store your Android libraries or modules locally as a maven repository into your computer, and import the dependency directly in your project like if it were really published:

implementation 'com.example:my-library:x.y.z'

All you need to do is the following:

• Enable mavenLocal repositories into your build system and apply any android-maven plugin to your library’s build.gradle file.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
    }
}
plugins {
    // This plugin allows publishing android libraries
    id "com.github.dcendents.android-maven" version "2.0"
}

• Also configure a mavenInstaller inside your library’s build.gradle file.

install {
    repositories.mavenInstaller {
        pom.groupId = 'com.example'
        pom.version = 'x.y.z'
        pom.artifactId = project.name
    }
}
