If I have a multi-module program, and one of the project is kotlin multiplatform and the other is not, is there a way to get it to depend on the multiplatform module in the dependencies block? e.g.-

//project: android-local

//android config omitted

dependencies {
    api(project(":android-remote"))
}

and then I have a mpp (in the same repo, different module)

//project: android-remote

kotlin {
    jvm()
    sourceSets {
        val commonMain by getting {
            dependencies {
                implementation("core-lib") //an example
            }
        }

        val jvmMain by getting {
            //depends on commonMain by default
        }
    } 
}

using api(project(":android-remote")) does not add anything from android-remote to the dependencies of android-local. Is there some way I need to specify the target it since android-remote is a MPP? Or is this not possible?

Do you have

enableFeaturePreview("GRADLE_METADATA")

In your project settings.gradle

[Shan]

I do!

Huh, it should work then but it could be a bunch of different reasons why it doesn't. I have a working sample android project that imports the mp module from the same project here https://github.com/ionspin/kotlin-multiplatform-bignum/blob/android/android-usage-sample/build.gradle.kts you just need to replace implementation("com.ionspin.kotlin:bignum:0.1.5") with implementation(project(":bignum")) . Maybe you'll spot some differences there that could help you.

Try to close project, delete all .iml files, .idea, .build, .gradle, and re-import project in the end

I couldn’t make jvm module to see non-android jvm module (I got both android() and jvm() source targets) and it didn’t work until full reimport of the project

[Shan]

I have reimported twice already unfortunately. No dice.

hm, you can do this as workaround:
to android-local (nonmpp!)
add mpp plugin
for example, this is mine:

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    kotlin("multiplatform")
    kotlin("android.extensions")
    kotlin("kapt")
    id("kotlinx-serialization")
}

after android { ... } put

kotlin {
    android()
}

The only problem is with kapt, as for now I have to write "kapt"(someDep) instead of kapt(someDep)

The only issue is that it doesn't include sources, so that's a bit annoying. Will have to figure out how to do that as well..

I actually refactored this a bit by using @sikri’s solution and the jvmDefault configuration in order to get the project sources to point to the correct project instead of the sources jar. I added the multiplatform plugin to my android library and used the android() setup as specified above, but used jvmDefault as the configuration for the project as I didn't want a specific android target on my android-remote mpp. Everything works great now!
