Gradle

In your Project's build.gradle make sure you have the following dependencies:

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0'
        classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.7'
        // This version is dependent on what version of gradle you are running
        classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.4.1'
}

In the next step you will need to provide some information about your library. Some of this information includes your GroupId your artifact and your libraryVersion they can be whatever you like, but normally look something like this:

dependencies {
        compile 'com.xlythe:android-text-manager:1.0.0'
                (groupId:artifact:libraryVersion)
}

In your Project's gradle.properties add the following:

bintray.libraryName=LibraryName

bintray.groupId=your.group.id
bintray.artifact=artifact-name //This must match your modules name
bintray.libraryVersion=librarys.version

bintray.libraryDescription=your library description

bintray.siteUrl=your website url
bintray.gitUrl=your git url

bintray.developerId=your id
bintray.developerName=your name
bintray.developerEmail=your email address

bintray.licenseName=The Apache Software License, Version 2.0
bintray.licenseUrl=http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt
bintray.allLicenses=Apache-2.0

At the very end of your library module's build.gradle add:

apply from: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bourdakos1/jCenter-Upload/master/upload.gradle'

Finally, in local.properties add the following:

bintray.user=your bintray username
bintray.apikey=your bintray apikey

Upload

Run ./gradlew bintrayUpload in your projects terminal.

Linking to jCenter

This final step only needs to be completed the first time you upload your library.

Login to your https://bintray.com account and click on your recently uploaded repository.

On the bottom of the page you should see an add to JCenter button:

Click on it and then just click send. It will take a few hours before your library is approved.

Updating

Make sure you bump your version number in your properties file.

Run ./gradlew bintrayUpload in your projects terminal.
