Require Gradle project from another directory
The simplest way is to make MyProject
a multi project with the Logger
project as a subproject.
settings.gradle
in MyProject
directory:
include ":logger"project(":logger").projectDir = file("../logger")
In the build.gradle
of MyProject
you can now reference this lib as a project:
dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:18.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.0' compile project(":logger")}
Android Studio 2.2.3:
Add to settings.gradle.
include ':app', ':new_lib'project(':new_lib').projectDir = new File('../new_lib/app')
- The path must be relative from the root of the project you're workingon.
- The module you're referencing must have a reference to it's "app"directory.
Then edit your Project Structure | Modules to setup dependencies.
Try adding the dependency to the global "dependencies" section, not the "android > dependencies".During development, the "android" configuration is used, but not to package the runtime.
dependencies { compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:18.0.0' compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.0' compile files("../Logger")}
It may also be worthwhile to look into setting up a multi-project gradle configuration,with a build.gradle and settings.gradle in the shared parent directory like here: http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/multi_project_builds.html
