my anisations current android project is mostly a monolithic "monster". my developer team are creating feature modules and refactoring the monothlith piece meal. I am trying to save time by creating an automatic process for creating the required android module structure for each feature

i have used pure kotlin, clikt, and moustache templates to create a small application that can accept a feature name and create the required folder structure with a build.gradle.kts file etc, including the src/main/java/aaaa/bbb/ccc package stucture.

the issue i am having is android studio doesnt accept these "manually" created modules as android modules, as shown here

the assets module was created in Android Studio, the wham module was created via my external application. The manually created folders dont have the "blue dot" denoting they are android modules. is there anyway i can add this functionality to my automation?

is it possible to create android studio modules "outside" of android studio?

the version of android studio i am using is
