Four independently working Android modules:
MyProjectMainModule
, a main container application, attached to MyProject
MyGradleModule
, a library, with all necessary components built during gradlew
process.
MyPreGradleModule
, a library, with src/
, res/
, AndroidManifest.xml
, and pom.xml
, without gradle wrapper
MyRawModule
, a library, with src/
, res/
, AndroidManifest.xml
, without pom.xml
(commonly seen in Ant-based Eclipse projects)
To import all three modules (i.e. MyGradleModule
, MyPreGradleModule
, MyRawModule
) into MyProject
as dependencies of MyProject
. The complete project structure should resemble below project structure:
MyProject
|--MyProjectMainModule
|--MyGradleModule
|--MyPreGradleModule
|--MyRawModule
Realizing all three modules (MyGradleModule
, MyPreGradleModule
, and MyRawModule
) have different structures, what are the most optimal ways to import each modules with minimal efforts?
Could you please match one of the following Android Studio menu items with each modules in your answer (if you use any):
File
-> Import Module...
File
-> New Module...
-> Import Existing Project
File
-> New Module...
-> Android Library
You can add the three modules to the same project by creating a settings.gradle
file in the MyProject/ folder and adding the modules to it:
include ':MyGradleModule'
include ':MyPreGradleModule'
include ':MyRawModule'
Then for each module, configure the build.gradle
dependencies to reference the other modules as needed. For example, add this to the MyProjectMainModule to make it use the output produced by MyGradleModule:
dependencies {
compile project(':MyGradleModule')
}
Finally, if your project has heterogeneous submodules then you can configure their structure using the 'sourceSets' closure. For example, your raw module would have a configuration similar to this:
android {
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
resources.srcDirs = ['src']
aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
}
androidTest.setRoot('tests')
}
}
