1> to a module to be packaged into AAR, first this module should be a library, if it is a applicateion, there is no need to package into AAR directly generated apk, so first make sure that this module is a library!
2> on the command line into the module's folder (below is the file under My Library Module's folder):

The packaged AAR is under directory/build/outputs/aar/.
