Including Entire Project As Library Android Studio

I am trying to import my own library into one of my apps in Android Studio. I have seen instructions in several places that basically amount to : 1 Move the files into a library fo

Solution 1:

You can only have one settings.gradle file per project, so if you have a multi-module library with its own settings.gradle, you can't bring it in with a single include statement. You'll need to merge the library's settings.gradle into that of the project you're including it in.

When you do the merge, make sure that all the include statements in the merged settings.gradle have sensible paths that will locate their libraries relative to the project root. Also keep in mind that the paths specified in your settings.gradle file have to match what's in your dependencies block. So if you have this:

include':app'include':app:libraries:Overt:Visible'include':app:libraries:Overt:Control'

You need this:

dependencies {
    compile'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:19.+'compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile project(':app:libraries:Overt:Visible')
    compile project(':app:libraries:Overt:Control')
}

In the build script you posted in your question, there's a typo: it says complie instead of compile. If that's a typo in your build script and not just a typo in your question here, that will be a problem.
