Question: Hi I have a local package that I import in a project

Project pubspec.yaml:

```
dependencies:
  my_local_package:
    path: ../my_local_package

```

I have both the my\_local\_package and project open in 2 tabs in android studio. I want to update the my\_local\_package and press hot reload and receive the updates.

How can I do this?

Answer: 
hot reload need sometimes full reload

The only way I can archive the behavior is to move the local package into the working project, and modify the package within the same window.
