Publishing your Android, Kotlin or Java library to jCenter from Android Studio

A detailed how-to guide on publishing your Android libraries on Bintray and jCenter

Few days ago, I launched an Android library called as Medium Clap, which allows developers to create Medium clapping effect in Floating Action Buttons with few lines of the code.

The library went on to be featured in different android newsletters and became #1 on Github Trending in Kotlin.

But, one question which I was being asked over and over again was how to publish android libraries, especially those written in Kotlin, on jCenter. There are plenty of different articles around the web on the topic. Some are very effective and some used to work in past but since the Kotlin came, these aren’t working anymore.
