Project already contains module with this name — Android Studio

Question

I had successfully imported a Module in my Application project in Android Studio. Then I deleted or removed the module by following the below link:

Answer 1

Switch to the Project View. Then open .idea/modules.xml. Find and delete the line that corresponds to the module. Then Invalidate Caches and Restart. That's it.

Answer 2

You can't import a module if you've put the code for the module in the place it will end up being copied to. I had the module source code placed in the project root folder and it failed to import with the above message. If you move the code away somewhere, on import Android Studio will copy the code in.

Answer 3

Step 1: Pressed Alt + 1 for get Focus of your App.

I have encountered this. And I deleted the folder which below my project with the module name I set before, then I can import a module with same name again.

Hope this helps you.
