what to do when the java.lang.illegalSateException (Module entity with name: .... should be available) occurs?

Question

Alright so, i got the code from a coworker and when i start it with android studio i get this exception.

I guess, it might be as simple a what it states, a module is missing. But i dont know which one and the code works perfectly fine on the computer of my coworker.

I googeled the question as well, and the only anser one user gave in the intellij forum gave was, to lower the gradle version.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I haven't gotten this error before but I did some research to help, can you try this:

1. Rename your project directory to exactly match the value of rootProject.name in your root settings.gradle
2. File > Invalidate Caches... > Invalidate and Restart

Just delete the .gradle and .idea files.

• After that, restart and invalidate cache selecting all checkbox and restart the android studio.

Make sure the rootproject .name in your settings.gradle file is the same as your project folder name

Answer 4

• Open settings.gradle
• rename rootProject.name = "project_dir_name"
• Sync project with gradle files or invalidate cache and restart

Answer 5

A little Hack worked in my case without Invalidate/restart.

In settings.gradle file, the value of rootProject.name must be same as the project folder name.

You need to just temporarily change the value of rootProject.name and sync the project. It will try to build and will be failed with an error.

Now Just add the corect value in rootProject.name(same as project folder name). It worked like a charm form me.

Just delete the line rootProject.name = "project_dir_name" in settings.gradle file.
