How to add .aar file as a dependency in a Android library module

Question

I have .aar(MyLib.aar) file and i want to create a new android library (MyNewLib.aar) which is dependent on MyLib.aar

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 18
        targetSdkVersion 25
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

repositories{
    flatDir{
        dirs 'libs'
    }
}
dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile(name:'mylib', ext:'aar')

}

When the build is completed the classes that are references to MyLib.aar, are not in the newly created MyNewLib.aar

How to add .aar dependency in library module?

it doesn't work

Go to build-> intermediates -> exploded-aars -> your_aar -> your_classes, Is all classes there? If Yes, then there is some issue of dependencies or your aar has some issues!\ — AndiGeeky

That means your .aar file is not properly generated. Generate aar again and try! — AndiGeeky
