Can't open ics-openvpn with android studio in mac

Question

I clone OpenVPN project in ics-openvpn. And then I install NDK, CMake, swig(4.0.1), update git ... follow doc/README.txt and I open it with Android studio after that. But when open the project with Android studio I can't see another package in the project.

Here is my result:

How I can fix it to see all the packages and build the project?

Thank you so much!

if you want to devlope on this project follow this steps:
1. clone the repo
2. create a new empty project
3. click on File then new then import module and go to the repo that you download. open it and choose main folder
4. build the project
5. open terminal from the android studio and type cd main/cpp or the name that you name it to this module and download this sub modules :
git submodule add https://github.com/schwabe/openvpn.git
git submodule add https://github.com/schwabe/platform_external_openssl.git
git submodule add https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls.git
git submodule add https://github.com/schwabe/openvpn3.git
git submodule add https://github.com/lz4/lz4.git
git submodule add https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio.git
1. run this commands on terminal :
git submodule init

git submodule update
1. go to build.gradle for openvpn module and change the following :
id("com.android.application") to id("com.android.library")
1. copy this snipt of code that exist in build.gradle for the library and paste it in your build.gradle inside android script :

    flavorDimensions("implementation")
    
    productFlavors {
        create("ui") {
            setDimension("implementation")
            buildConfigField("boolean", "openvpn3", "true")
        }
        create("skeleton") {
            setDimension("implementation")
            buildConfigField("boolean", "openvpn3", "false")
        }
    }

add the module in the dependency in your build.gradle :

implementation project(path: ':your-module-name')

sync the project and it is done :-)

NOTE: if you can not see the module files click on the gradle on the right of android studio and left-click on the openvpn module and choose refresh Gradle project.

I hope it can help someone.

Thank you so much but when I import module with main folder it so error : Specify location of the gradle of android eclipse project – Hoa.Tran Dec 04 '19 at 01:38
ok the error indicate that you are importing the module in the wrong way – Mohammad Sommakia Dec 05 '19 at 15:33
In Android Studio: File -> Import Module -> open ics-openvn -> select main. What is wrong? – Hoa.Tran Dec 06 '19 at 03:43
ok i tried it my self and no error message show up i dont know what is wrong – Mohammad Sommakia Dec 07 '19 at 09:31
try to open main module as project – Mohammad Sommakia Dec 07 '19 at 09:31
@MohammadSommakia Thank you for these amazing instructions. I have a question about step 5. I have imported the module as `vpnLib`. Do I download the submodules into `myApp/vpnLib/src/main/cpp`, or into `myApp/vpnLib/`? – Houman Mar 23 '21 at 08:27
Hello @Houman You need to download the submodules into myApp/vpnLib/src/main/cpp You are welcome please upvote the answer if it helps you – Mohammad Sommakia Mar 23 '21 at 09:13
@MohammadSommakia And when I do step 10, I get one error when building the project: `myApp/vpnLib/build.gradle.kts:152:9: Unresolved reference: applicationVariants`. What do I do here please? – Houman Mar 23 '21 at 09:28
Hmmm, I can't be sure what is the error exactly I need to see the code so I can fix it because last time I build the project year ago :) – Mohammad Sommakia Mar 23 '21 at 09:33
@MohammadSommakia You have so much experience with this. Do you think you could start a new project just to confirm if these instructions still work, please? That would be amazing. – Houman Mar 23 '21 at 12:44
