java - 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>'
    }

}
