    How to integrate .aar file to Eclipse


Download .aar file from bintray, you will get an .aar file: bluecats-android-sdk-${version}.aar
Change the extension to .zip from .aar, and unzip it into bluecats-android-sdk folder, for example.
In the folder bluecats-android-sdk, you will see a .jar file: classes.jar, change the name to a meaningful name, like bluecats-android-sdk.jar, copy it to your Eclipse project's "libs" folder.
In the folder bluecats-android-sdk/jni, you will see several ABI folders, copy all the folders into your Eclipse project's "libs" folder.
Your "libs" folder of eclipse project looks like this:

libs/
    bluecats-android-sdk.jar
    armebi/
          libbluecats_sdk.so
    armebi-v7a/
              libbluecats_sdk.so
    ...
    ...
    ...


Add bluecats-android-sdk.jar to your build path of eclipse project.
Merge manually the AndroidManifest.xml into your own AndroidManifest.xml to include the permission and service declarations.
add necessary 3rd party libraries: Gson, android Support
