Exclude my .apk release files

Question

I have an application for Android Studio, which depends on the project of the android library. This android library project contains some of its own .so libraries, but I want some of these .so not to appear in my last apk.

How can i do this? I add this code to build.gradle of my application, but the files continue to appear:

packagingOptions { exclude 'lib/armeabi/a.so' } 

thanks

It should work if you wrap packagingOptions in an android stanza as follows:

 android { packagingOptions { exclude 'lib/armeabi/a.so' } }
