How to import class from another module in android studio?

I created two modules in single android project, named it x and y.

  1. Module x has a class Egg (Package: com.example.x)
  2. Module y has a class Foo (Package: com.example.y)

Now I want to import class Foo in the class Egg, for which I wrote the statement mentioned below in class Egg

Import com.example.y.Foo;

Now, Foo is not recognized by android.

Questions,

Is it possible to import Class from a different module using just import statement?

Do I need to create library of Module y and then import created library into module x?

Or may the solution is something else.

Now when you create new module,the settings.gradle file add automatically this module.After that u should add this line:

    dependencies {
    implementation(
    ...,
    ..,
            project(":y")
)
}

Combining and correcting two previous answers the best solution is to add this single line to x/build.gradle -> dependencies

implementation project(':y')

compile project() - is deprecated and won't work anymore

If you want to implement just a single module there is no need to use implementation(..., .., project(":y") structure.

Make sure of the following:

In settings.gradle, you should have: include ':x', ':y'.

In x/build.gradle, you should add y as a dependency: 

dependencies {
        compile project(':y')
        // other dependencies
}
