    I am unable to find Module Dependency in the dropdown. Only Library dependency and JAR dependency are available. What should I do? (Android Studio 4.1.2) – Abdullah Javed Mar 11 '21 at 14:57
  • It doesn't work. If I go to File > New > Import Module, it wants me to import an entire project, but I just need to import one Java file. – Donald Duck Aug 09 '21 at 12:28
  • @DonaldDuck, what is your question. If you want to import just one java file, then just do copy paste. The above procedure I wrote is to "Import a Module". – Aman Shekhar Aug 10 '21 at 13:25

I was also facing the same issue. Please make sure below steps

1)build.gradle :-
     implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation project(path: ':<Project-name>')

2) settings.gradle
     include ':<Project-name>'

This tutorial will help you to do easily that without any code in build.gradle (actually system will do code for you).

In case you have a module in your android project called library for example, and you want to add this module as a library to another module called app for example, in that same android project, here's what just worked for me, add this inside your app module's build.gradle:

dependencies {
    implementation project(path: ':library')
}
