Cannot change dependencies of configuration (after enabling instant run)

by

gradle reads and executes all build.gradle files in all folders of the included modules. As the error shows, it also tries to execute the root build script of :libraries:my_library.

You have to change your settings.gradle and include the library project by setting its ‘projectDir’:

include ':app'

// Give your library project any module name, i.e. ':sdk'
include ':sdk'
// Then set the project path of the library module
project(':sdk').projectDir = new File('libraries/my_library/sdk')

With this settings.gradle you can reference the library project as gradle dependency with:

compile project(':sdk')
