Add plain Android library to a Flutter plugin

Question

This might be a duplicate of this question. But it has no answer and I will give some details here.

I have created a module with File->New Module->Android Library inside my Flutter plugin's android project. And now I have a structure like below:

|-my_plugin
  |-android
    |-settings.gradle
    |-build.gradle
    |-mylibrary
      |-build.gradle

/android/settings.gradle:

rootProject.name = 'my_plugin'
include ':mylibrary'

/android/build.gradle:

...
dependencies {
  implementation project(':mylibrary')
}

When I build example plugin project (which is automatically created by Flutter CLI) with flutter build apk or flutter run, I get this error:

Project with path ':mylibrary' could not be found in project ':my_plugin'.

Any suggestions?

For those who are still looking for a solution. You can try this.

Instead of putting the below code in the plugin setting.gradle, place it in example/android/settings.gradle

include ':mylibrary'
