There are two methods for building a multi-module project in Android Studio: manual configuration and using plugins.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. manual configuration:<\/li>\n
  2. Create multiple submodules (subdirectories) in the root directory of the project, each submodule being an independent Android application module or library module.<\/li>\n
  3. Import each submodule in the settings.gradle file in the root directory: include ‘:app’, ‘:library1’, ‘:library2’<\/li>\n
  4. Configure the build settings of each submodule in their respective build.gradle file, including dependencies, compilation options, etc.<\/li>\n
  5. Use plugins.<\/li>\n
  6. Utilize the plugins recommended by the official Android Gradle plugin, such as com.android.application and com.android.library.<\/li>\n
  7. Create a build.gradle file in the root directory of the project to configure the project’s build settings, including importing plugins and specifying version numbers.<\/li>\n
  8. Include every sub-module in the settings.gradle file in the root directory: include ‘:app’, ‘:library1’, ‘:library2’<\/li>\n
  9. Configure the build settings for each submodule in their respective build.gradle files, including dependencies, compilation options, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Utilizing plugins is a relatively simple method that offers more building options and functionalities. In most cases, using plugins is the preferred approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
