Android Studio Run/Debug configuration error: Module not specified

Question

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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

never mind, i changed the name in settings.gradle and synced and then changed it back and synced again and it inexplicably worked this time.
