Step 1: Select Project > Right Click > Open Module Settings (F12) > Projects Settings > Click Modules.

Step 2: Click your Project > you will see 3 tabs : Sources/Path/Dependencies. Step 3 : Select Dependencies tab. You will see green '+' button to the right of 'Scope' title. Click on this and it will allow you to add Jars and libs.

PS: make the scope of the added jars/libs as Compile

Projects Settings is no longer there. only platform settings is there. Sources/Path/Dependencies is there in platform settings. – null pointer Sep 12 '13 at 09:55
I was having the same problem, where Project Settings was not showing up when I opened it using File->Project Structure, but this solution worked for me in Android Studio 0.2.10 – Cypress Frankenfeld Sep 26 '13 at 00:42

You can set external module in this way

In global setting.gradle file add this line

def projectDialogsDir = file('path_of_the_module')
def rootProjectDescriptor = settings.rootProject
settings.createProjectDescriptor(rootProjectDescriptor, 'yourModule', projectDialogsDir)
include(':yourModule')

Then in the build.gradle files of your app's module, you have just to add, under dependencies

dependencies {
  compile project(':yourModule')
}
