Include Dependencies in Android SDK (AAR file) - android-studio

does anyone have experience including all the dependencies while exporting android SDK (.aar) without publishing it to other platforms.
I need to include all the dependencies in the SDK (.aar) so later clients just implement the SDK in their project without importing any dependencies, is this possible?

Why does QiSDK fail to resolve?

I'm trying to make an application for SoftBank's robot Pepper using Android Studio, Java and QiSDK as recommended on their website. After I create a robot application that adds the needed QiSDK dependencies to the project, those would not resolve after a gradle project sync. Image of a warning message.
I tried to create a project on different devices, but got the same result. Is it maybe a problem that I am using a newer version of Android Studio 2021.3.1 Patch 1?

Unable to use Itext7 and other 3rd party library after updating to Android Studio Chipmunk

I just update my Android Studio to Chipmunk 2021.2.1 and my itext code dont work anymore. Im using itext7-core:7.2.2.
How do i fix this?
I had the same problem with another library.
In my case, I was managing the library locally and importing it into my project as a jar file.
Specifying the path to the jar file directly solved the problem.
In my case, the problem was solved by adding the following notation to the app-level build.gradle.
// MyLibrary
implementation project(':MyLibrary')
implementation files("... /MyLibrary/library.jar") // added

What exactly does the Android SDK Manager do?

I downloaded the Android SDK only, without Android Studio, which I don't need. For Windows, the SDK is delivered as a zip file, and you unpack it to the folder of your choice. Following the unpacking, I ran the file android.bat, which launched the GUI for the SDK Manager and I downloaded further packages.
My question: Does the SDK Manager do anything other than downloading and unpacking packages? For example, does it kick off any background processes or services? And if so, how are those managed, since the GUI does not have means to control them?
PS: I'm tagging this question w/ Android Studio as it's the most closely related subject.
I am on Windows 7.
From https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/update.html
"The Android SDK Manager provides the SDK tools, platforms, and other components you need to develop your apps."
So yes, it allows you to install and update the various versions of the Android SDKs and tools. It doesn't run any additional processes.

Building tess-two into a project using Android Studio's gradle build

There are answers about getting the tess-two project integrated into an Android project within Android Studio, but many are out-dated and none used the current capabilities defined here:
Using Android Studio 2.2 and higher, you can use the NDK to compile C and C++ code into a native library and package it into your APK using Gradle, the IDE's integrated build system. Your Java code can then call functions in your native library through the Java Native Interface (JNI)
What specific steps would be required to make tess-two functionality a part of the resulting APK, using functionality within Android Studio, rather than external file placement, manipulation and command line tools? So taking the building, creation of *.so files into the IDE. Specifically using just Android Studio's integrated build system (Gradle) as described here.
1. Start a new project
2. Import Tess-Two into the project
2b. Add any needed plug-ins
3. Add code in the main activity to get native functionality
4. Configure Android Studio build so that native functionality is available
This is where the specifics are required
4. Configure Android Studio build for native functionality
4a. Link C++ Project with Gradle
First, check the tess-two project for build files. You may select CMakeLists.txt or Android.mk files. Both are currently supported.
In this case, I used ndk-build, which seemed like a good bet for integrating the native code.
For more information, see Android Studio documentation
4b. Manage Long Commands
In Windows, errors may be encountered if the command length grows too large. To prevent problems, use LOCAL_SHORT_COMMANDS AND APP_SHORT_COMMANDS in the Android.mk file.
The "e=87" error is what you are avoiding by doing this:
For more on that topic, see stackoverflow question about error 87.
4c. Add Module Dependency for tess-two
In File > Project Structure > Dependencies use the + to add the tess-two dependency:
4d. Build the Project and check .apk file for .so files
The build, which takes a long time, should complete now. Validate that the .apk file contains the .so files, created during the build. With the tess-two libraries in an static initializer, run the project on your Android device:

Android studio doesn't create project structure

I am new to Android studio. I tried to create my first project and there is no project structure only gradle files. What am I doing wrong? I keep getting these files with creation of another new project.
Update SDK via Android SDK Manager. You need all packages in Tools to be installed.
But even after doing so, I can't make it to auto generate resources. So I continue to deal with it...
I found what was my problem. I updated Android studio from version 1.x to 2.x. On official site is written that if you try to install version 2.x into same location Android studio might not work properly and there could be some unexpected behavior.
So just removing Android studio and then reinstaling it, worked perfectly.
