I've seen different advice on the best way to do this This question covers creating a jar. Elsewhere, I've seen advice to simply copy the volley source into your own project. This section on libraries at android.com would seem the most authoritative. However, after compiling volley, I don't have an aal library, whereas that section says I should have.
So my question is this: I have an existing Android Studio project with a standard layout, and a git repository; what should I do to add volley? Where should I download it to? How should I add it to Android Studio? Which Gradle files, if any, do I need to modify.
Hopefully, for those of you have done this a few times, this should be bread-and-butter stuff, but I haven't been able to find a straightforward description.

Updating, per Scott Barta's suggestion.
The gradle.build file in the volley repository has this line.
apply plugin: 'android-library'
According to the documentation: "Library projects do not generate an APK, they generate a .aar package (which stands for Android archive)." However, when I build the volley project, no .aar is created.
My feeling is that as Volley is a library project, created by the Android team, it is most probably intended to be generated and used as .aar package. Any advice on whether it would be preferable to generate a .aar, and how to do that, would be appreciated.
