Answer 1

Use this in your gradle file

// For making jar
task clearJar(type: Delete) {
    delete 'build/libs/nameOfYourJar.jar'
}

task makeJar(type: Copy) {
    from('build/intermediates/bundles/release/')
    into('release/')
    include('classes.jar')
    rename('classes.jar', 'nameOfYourJar.jar')
}

makeJar.dependsOn(clearJar, build)
