Gradle include dependency dependencies

Question

Scenario

I have two Android libraries:

• Library A
• Library B

Library B depends on library A and includes it from the build.gradle file.

My Android application needs to use library B and some base classes from library A. The only success I had in this was to include both libraries in my Android build.gradle application and set the transition to false.

Question

Is there a way to add only the B library and access its dependencies from my Android application?
