If you want to distribute or reuse Views, you should package them in a module
that is then added as an app’s project dependency. To do this, use the
material
sub-project as a template for your new
build.gradle
file.
To use a packaged View, you must import its module into your project by
specifying its location in your
settings.gradle
file. The Bank of Westeros and test-app projects use custom Views westeros and
material, respectively. These projects exemplify using independent Views in a
project.
If you want to redistribute your View and let others use it, you can upload it
to jCenter or Maven Central. In the example
build.gradle
file, after entering your bintray api key you can execute gradlew bintrayupload to upload your project to jCenter. When finished, anyone can use
the View as they would any Android dependency by adding the repository,
artifact, group ID, and version to their Gradle file.
