I’m developing a custom system app for AOSP using Kotlin and Jetpack compose.

I have added dependencies to ‘androidx.*’ and have compose and material 3 working.

android_app {
    name: "MySystemApp",
    srcs: ["java/**/*.kt"],
    resource_dirs: ["res"],
    manifest: "AndroidManifest.xml",

    static_libs: [
        "androidx.core_core"
    ]
}

Now I want to add a dependency upon external libraries, such as okhttp.

I understand that I somehow need to bundle okhttp (or any other dependency not already included in AOSP) with the AOSP build pipeline, and include it in the static_libs section of Android.bp.

How do I add this external dependency to the build?
