Add android package to java Module ( android studio)

Sorry this is my first time facing this kind of issue, i have no idea about what to do.

I am working on a project that contains two java Modules ( Module1 , Module2)

build.gardle for main project:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 29
    buildToolsVersion "29.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.client.howara"
        minSdkVersion 24
        targetSdkVersion 29
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        
    }
    
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
   
}

dependencies {
    implementation project(':Module1')
    implementation project(':Module2')
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    testImplementation  'junit:junit:4.13'
    implementation .....
}

build.gardle for Module1:

apply plugin: 'java'
dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation project(':Module2')
}

build.gradle for Module2:

apply plugin: 'java'

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
}

When i try to add an android package to Module1, i get the following error:

Example:

error: package android.os does not exist
import android.os.Build;

Did i need to modify module1 build.gradle? if yes how ?

Thank you for your help and sorry for my ignorance

EDIT

You have defined module1 as a java library. So importing any android artifact will be prohibited to keep it a java library.

If you really want to add android artifacts in module1, then you need to convert module1 to an android library by doing the following:

Module1's BuildScript:

// Remove this
apply plugin: 'java'

// Instead add this
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

I think what you are doing is fine, however you are not able to state your problem efficiently.

What is happening currently in your Gradle BuildScripts is this: Your App depends on Module1 and Module2, your Module1 depends on Module2 and your Module2 doesn't depends on either app or Module1.

         App
        / \ 
   Module1 \
      \     \
       \     \
        \     \
         Module2
