Spurious module ".." in Android Studio project -

i followed steps in how share single library source across multiple projects add external library project.

my project(s) structure:

project mytest1:   module mylib  project mytest2:   module myapp 

i edited settings.gradle in mytest2 , added , ..:mytest1:mylib include directive. now, able see , use external library project within mytest2 project. things work expected.

however, see spurious module ".." alongside myapp , mylib. there no nodes under , doesn't seem cause problems. wondering module , if there way rid of it. regards.

edit

both projects under directory c:\mydev. appears that, anytime bring mytest2 project, modifies file mytest2.idea\modules.xml , inserts following line:

<module fileurl="file://c:/mydev.iml" filepath="c:/mydev.iml" /> 

it complains module not loaded , creates fake ".." module. think root of problem.

do not declare ..:mytest1:mylib include. cause many problems. instead, declare following way:

include ':mylib' project(':mylib').projectdir = new file('../mytest1/mylib')
