Why does Gradle need a settings.gradle file?

Question

I am going to convert my Android projects from Ant to Gradle.

My Eclipse workspace is very simple:

Workspace
     MyApp
     MyApp-AndroidLibrary

Just in case people (like myself or gladman) still have this problem and couldn't find a solution. With the current version of Gradle you can do this:

Move the file settings.gradle to the directory My-App and replace the include by includeFlat 'MyApp-AndroidLibrary'. This should fix the problem.

Also compare this question and see this section in the Gradle User Guide for further details.
