intellij idea - Can you regenerate a deleted modules .iml file in android studio

Question

I have accidentally erased one of my project modules .iml file and I was wondering if its possible to regenerate it. I have googled around for a bit but I have not seen a solution yet.

Answer 1

If your project is Gradle-based, then click the Sync Project with Gradle Files button in the toolbar and it will regenerate all .iml files.

If you can't locate this button , then just look at right for Gradle tasks -> select task -> right click -> refresh external dependency will bring you back modules and iml file.
