Spurious module ".." in Android Studio project - android-studio

I followed the steps in How to share a single library source across multiple projects to add an external library to a project.
My project(s) structure:
Project MyTest1:
Module MyLib
Project MyTest2:
Module MyApp
I edited settings.gradle in MyTest2 and added , ..:MyTest1:MyLib to the include directive. Now, I am able to see and use the external library project from within MyTest2 project. Things work as expected.
However, I see a spurious module ".." alongside MyApp and MyLib. There are no nodes under it and it doesn't seem to cause any problems. I am wondering what exactly is this module for and if there is a way to get rid of it. Regards.
Edit
Both my projects are under a directory C:\MyDev. It appears that, anytime you bring up MyTest2 project, AS modifies a file MyTest2.idea\modules.xml and inserts the following line:
<module fileurl="file://C:/MyDev.iml" filepath="C:/MyDev.iml" />
It then complains that the module was not loaded and creates a fake ".." module. I think this is the root of the problem.

Do not declare ..:MyTest1:MyLib as your include. It will cause many problems. Instead, declare it the following way:
include ':MyLib'
project(':MyLib').projectDir = new File('../MyTest1/MyLib')

Intellij IDEA resolve local require() path [ node.js ]

I'm trying to avoid relative require() calls in my express setup. I'd also like to avoid placing my code in the node_modules folder. In short, I'm trying to implement any of the methods described in this gist.
Any of those solutions will work fine for executing code with node or npm. However, I'm trying to find a solution that will also be supported by Intellij IDEA's code resolver, i.e. trying to make sure "go to declaration" and autocomplete hinting works.
I've tried the following
Setting NODE_PATH in the run configuration.
Using a global prefix, i.e. require( global.__base + "mylib").
Adding a symlinked folder to node_modules/.
Adding a symlink from a lib/ folder to node_modules/lib/ does work, but comes with two caveats:
Changes to the source files aren't picked up automatically, so I have to manually "synchronize" node_modules/lib, and
When "going to declaration", IntelliJ (of course) opens node_modules/lib/mylib instead of lib/mylib. This can lead to confusion as the actual file and the symlinked file can be open in separate windows.
Instead of a different way to require local paths (all these methods do work with node after all), I'd be happy with a way to hint to IDEA that it should search the lib/ folder for sources.
So, I realised that if you add a library through Project Structure > Libraries, it won't actually be enabled.
Instead, go to Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > Javascript > Libraries and add a new library. Set the framework type to node_modules, Visibility to Project and add your lib folder.
After adding it, make sure the Enabled checkbox is checked.
That's it, Intellij can now resolve your require('mylib') paths.
Use whatever method from the gist mentioned in the question to actually get node to resolve the paths.

How to reference without copying a library project on Android Studio?

Yes, everywhere I can learn how to make a module from a project that will copy the library project. But that's no good, since a change in the library project would have to be replicated on every project that uses it. So, how can I reference it from a folder that's outside the project in a dynamic way?
Got it:
In your project, go in settings.gradle and declare something like this:
include ':LibReferenceName'
project(':LibReferenceName').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../relativePath/toThe/libraryModule/fromTheProject')
And at the modules that requires the library, include something like this in the build.gradle of it:
compile project(path: ':LibReferenceName')
You can also not use settingsDir and just put the absolute path of the project.

Android Studio - Include ResourceBundles in Module

I currently switched from eclipse to android studio. In eclipse I had 2 projects, one android application project and one java project which I included in the android project as library. This java project uses ResourceBundles to create internationalized error messages for it's own errors. This has been my project structure:
/MyApp
/src
/res
...
/MyLibrary
/src
/res (added as source folder to build path)
/loc
Bundle_en.properties
This worked when loading the RessourceBundles as following:
ResourceBundle.getBundle("loc.Bundle", Locale.ENGLISH);
Now I switched to android studio and my new project structure looks like this (added the java library as module):
/MyProject
/MyApp
...
/MyLibrary
/src
/main
/java
...
/res
/loc
Bundle_en.properties
But I'm not able to load the ResourceBundles anymore, it's just throwing a java.util.MissingResourceException. I tried a lot of different locations for the ResourceBundles and different paths but I'm going to get crazy because nothing seems to work. Could anybody explain where to put those bundles and how to load them?
Thank you!
Faced exactly the same problem. To make it work I finally had to create a resorces folder in my project module's main folder.
here multiple files starting with the same name (as messages in this picture) gets bundled as a resource bundle.
Finally had to call it using
ResourceBundle.getBundle("org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.internal.nls.logcat")
or
ResourceBundle.getBundle("org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.internal.nls.messages")
to get the required resource.
If you include the second project as a library, you might not want to create a new resource folder as suggested in a previous answer (which does work). Instead, you can simply add the library's resource folder to your resource directories in your module's build.gradle: to the android section add
sourceSets {
main.resources.srcDirs += 'path/to/your/libs/res'
}
If now the added res folder contains org/mypackage/Bundle.properties you can refer to it using
ResourceBundle.getBundle("org.mypackage.Bundle")
Actually adding a new resource folder does nothing more then adding it as a resource directory in build.gradle.
I never tried but Intellij comes with very good integration of Resource Bundles.
Refer this link
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/resource-bundle.html
From the link above
Resource bundle is a set of properties files that have same base name
with different language-specific suffixes. A resource bundle contains
at least two properties files with similar base name, for example
file_en.properties and file_de.properties.
IntelliJ IDEA recognizes properties files, and if two or more
properties files with the names that differ only in suffix, are
encountered, joins them into a resource bundle. The new node Resource
Bundle '(base name)' appears in the Project Tool Window:
You can have these files inside your module or on root as well.
First please ensure your resource folder (where the property file is localted) is in the classpath and you can easily find that by calling the following.
URLClassLoader ldr = (URLClassLoader)ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
URL[] urls = ldr.getURLs();
for(URL url : urls)
{
System.out.println(url.getPath());
}
Now if you find your resources folder in the classpath then you can simply call the bundle base name, in your case ResourceBundle.getBundle("Bundle"), no need for a fully qualified path. Assuming you are using English locale, it should find it. You can further add en_US, en_NZ, en_GB etc if needed.
If you do not find your property folder then make sure it is in the classpath and if you need to add it dynamically follow this thread.
How do you change the CLASSPATH within Java?
Remember the only addition for loading property files dynamically is that you MUST call findResource or findResources API on the class loader to load the property file. Hope this helps.

Mixing typescript definition files with nodejs require over multiple files in an internal module

Are there any known issues with mixing nodejs modules (require) with typescript definition files (d.ts) multiple times over files within a module?
My scenario is that I have a module namespace per folder (much like I would in C#), then I basically compile them all via tsc to an outputted my-module.js. However I keep getting really odd errors like Could not find type HTMLElement but lots of people have pointed out that tsc includes the typescript lib file by default which contains all those types.
I have noticed a few people having odd errors when they are including the same d.ts files over multiple files which are all compiled with the --out flag to get it all into one file, so could this be causing my issues?
An example of my usage would be:
///<reference path="path/to/knockout.d.ts" />
import ko = require("knockout");
This would then be put in each file which requires knockout js, which is at least 10 files in the module i'm trying to compile currently. It just bombs out constantly saying knockout.d.ts cannot find the type HTMLElemet, Element, Document etc.
If you are using external modules (which you are if you have a top level "import" - as shown above), then you can't use the --out switch to combine multiple source files. It is a limitation that with external modules that one source file = one module. With source that is not in an external module (i.e. contributes to the 'global' scope), you can combine input source to one output JavaScript file using --out.
I have no idea about the "could not find HTMLElement" issues. If you can provide a repro (and outline which version you are using) I can take a look.

Referencing the Extension Java files between dependencies

Working on the new android side of extensions with the changes. I have my separate extension as its own dependency.
In my code I require references to the Extension.Java class as well as the HaxeObject.
These are located in extensions-api, which is it's own separate dependency.
I've tried including these files in my own dependency, this causes top-level exceptions because a number of the Java files were included twice. I've also tried not including the extensions-api, this works to some extent, however If in the future I decide to use more extensions this won't work (less than ideal).
I need to find a way to reference these files from one dependency to another. so from: MyExtension.src.org.haxe.nme.MyExtension and extension-api.src.org.haxe.nme.Extension
So I guess the point I'm stuck at is how I make these two dependencies see each other whilst compiling so that when they merge to make the .dex file they don't cause top-level exceptions.
I could potentially hack it by placing my extension into the extension-api folder. Something like:
<dependency name="extension-api" path="dependencies/MyExtension" if="android"/>
The issue with this being that the androidManifest merging wouldn't work.
I found the answer here:
the gist is in the project.properties file you want to add the line:
android.library.reference.1=../extensions-api
