Being to foolish to correctly implement a module library into my project

Question

I recently started developing my really first Android Project using Android Studio 3.1.2.

Therefore I implemented a module library into my app, by cloning it from github, imported it as module library and added a dependency via right-click on app > module settings, switch to dependency tab, hit the +, select imported_module.

Additionally I checked my build.gradle(Module:app), if the dependency has been added correctly, there this line appeared:

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

Also in the settings.gradle file it says:

include ':app', ':imported_module'

Now if I want to access features of imported_module any of them can't be resolved. I browsed the official and the common forums for hours to find the one step I obviously missed but wasn't smart enough to find the solution.

Synching the project with gradle files didn't cause any visible effects

What do I still have to do to be able to use all the fancy stuff fro imported_module inside my app? Do I have to import it in a certain way? Or do I have to modify my AndroidManifest of my app somehow? Thanks in forward!

EDIT: could it be that my app and imported_module obviously have different package names? The Project File Tree says com.domain.example.my_app for the app and com.domain.example.imported_module for imported_module. Do I have to squeeze the one into the other?

@TimCastelijns do you mean syncing the project with gradle files? Several times. Oddly I can't open the code package of the java directory of imported_module. Could it be that the library is corrupted? — procra, Jul 24 '18 at 14:52
@TimCastelijns *sighs* can't even find this file, i should continue tomorrow i guess ^^ — procra, Jul 24 '18 at 15:45
I kinda fixed it, just added a remote dependency in my gradle, i will close this issue for now — procra, Jul 26 '18 at 07:22

It could have been much easier, if you had mentioned what exactly you want to access in main app. May be access specifier of the member in your imported_module is private.

I kinda worked around the whole thing, by just adding a remote dependency in my build.gradle file of a new project, pasted my java classes and my res into this new project, synched it and now it runs. Nevertheless thanks for thy help!

That should be really all. Be sure to sync your project with Gradle files (File - Sync Project with Gradle Files).

*That should be really all* - well, obviously not. This is hardly an answer – Tim Jul 24 '18 at 14:59
