Android Studio Run/Debug configuration error: Module not specified

I am getting a 'Module not specified' error in my run config. I have no module showing in the drop down yet I can see my module no probs. The issue came about when I refactored my module name, changed the settings.gradle to new name.

Now when I go to project structure and select my module nothing shows in the screen, not even an error.

I'm not 100% sure, but the icon beside my module looks like a folder with a cup and not a folder with a phone.

My exact steps -

  1. Open in Android view
  2. Refactor directory name
  3. refactor module name
  4. change settings.gradle contents: name to new name

Resync your project gradle files to add the app module through Gradle

  1. In the root folder of your project, open the settings.gradle file for editing.

  2. Cut line include ':app' from the file.

  3. On Android Studio, click on the File Menu, and select Sync Project with Gradle files.

  4. After synchronisation, paste back line include ':app' to the settings.gradle file.

  5. Re-run Sync Project with Gradle files again.
