How to add a linked source folder in Android Studio?

Question

In Eclipse I can add a source folder to my android project as a "linked source folder". How do I achieve the same thing in Android Studio?

Or is it possible to add a external folder to build in gradle?

Answer 1

in your build.gradle add the following to the end of the android node

android {     ....     ....      sourceSets {         main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/<YOUR DIRECTORY>'     }  } 

Answer 2

The right answer is:

android {     ....     ....      sourceSets {         main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/<YOUR DIRECTORY>'     } } 

Furthermore, if your external source directory is not under src/main, you could use a relative path like this:

sourceSets {     main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/../../../<YOUR DIRECTORY>' }
