    In Unity 5 you can add an .aar file to your project and it will be treated as a library (added to the game, manifest merged, etc).

    Regarding on how to call specific methods inside the library, you can refer to this documentation page: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PluginsForAndroid.html

    Specifically, check out the examples under "Using Your Java Plugin with helper classes"

    Hi I am using unity 5.3.0f4 version. I create a AAR file of CustomLibrary project. In this project i also used resources + layouts. I placed aar file in different location for example root, Assest/plugin/Android and other combination.

    I faced an issue, when i build & run my project on device this error occurs
    the error is: error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'fabSize' in package
    Also i add the native dependencies libraries, like native android design , appcompact libary.


    Kindly help me out. Thanks in Advane
