How to add a linked source folder from a remote machine in Android Studio?

Question

Trying to follow this post How to add a linked source folder in Android Studio?,

I tried

sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/\\\\10.11.12.13\\me\\workspace\\myapp\\src'
}

However it does not display the source folder. If I do

sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs += '\\\\10.11.12.13\\me\\workspace\\myapp\\src'
}

Then the sources are visible but outside my project app tree. How to get them inside?

Answer 1

this worked for me:

in app/main/build.gradle

android {
...
    sourceSets {
        main.java.srcDirs += '\\\\\\10.11.12.13\\me\\workspace\\myapp\\src'
    }
}
