You can do it by manipulating your settings.gradle file instead of going through the UI and trying to import a module; the UI isn't there for it yet.
include ':module' project(': module').projectDir = new File(settingsDir, '../relative/path/to/module') I would strongly encourage you to not use a pure relative path here; in this example, the path is anchored to the "settingsDir" variable supplied by Gradle, which is defined to be the directory where settings.gradle is found. If you use a pure relative path (i.e isn't anchored to anything), you're dependent on the working directory being the same in all environments where the build file is run (command line vs. Android Studio vs. CI server), which isn't a good thing to assume.
