How do I build a JAR file from an Android Studio project? I've followed a lot of guides without much success. I tried compiling as a regular and library project but no JAR file get automatically generated. Do I have to do it manually or resort to Ant to get the Jar file?

Android Studio will compile your library into an AAR not a JAR. AARs are a little different since we rely on the SDK rather than a JAR to give use the Android API.

You will find the AAR under LibraryName/build/libs/LibraryName.aar.

Also remember one thing this /libs directory will not be visible in Android Studio's project explorer. Search it in your project directory on drive.
