How to make a .jar out of the Volley project?

Question

How do I make a .jar file out of the Volley project (git repository)?

I have tried to follow the instructions in this answer, however running android update project -p . in the cloned volley folder throws this error:

Error: . is not a valid project (AndroidManifest.xml not found). 

Answer 1

The build process for Volley has changed to Gradle. If you just want to use the library without building it, you can get the Jar from Maven or scroll down to the instructions to building it yourself lower in this answer.

Maven

An easier way to obtain the Jar file is to download it directly from Maven Central. You can find the latest version with this search:

http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22com.mcxiaoke.volley%22

At the time of writing the 1.0.19 version can be found here:

http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/mcxiaoke/volley/library/1.0.19/library-1.0.19.jar

Gradle

The new way to do it is to build the project using Gradle.

You can do this by running:

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/volley gradle build 

This will create a file in

build\intermediates\bundles\release 

Then add this file into your libs folder and add it to your project.
