Here's what has worked for me.

  1. on the command line go to the root directory of the project

  2. ensure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the version of the java sdk you are going to use. On a Mac via the bash shell that would look something like this:

    export JAVA_HOME='/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_11.jdk/Contents/Home'

(click here to find out how to find your Java Home)

  1. To clean type ./gradlew clean
  2. To build the library type ./gradlew aR (This may take a while)

You should now find the .aar file in mymodulename/build/outputs/aar

Thanks to geekgarage for clarification.
