CHATHURA DE SILVA: Migrating from Eclipse to Android Studio

I had a very difficult time to import an eclipse project to Android Studio. So finally I found a method to do that.

Step 1 : Open up eclipse and export the project that need to import to Android Studio.

Step 2 : A window will be appeared. Select "Generate Gradle build files"

Step 3: Select the project you want to export

Step 4 : Now a window will be appeared like below. Click "Finish" button.

Step 5 : Again click "Finish" in next window as well.

Step 6 : Now if all the things worked fine, a file named "build.gradle" has been generated inside your selected project folder.

Step 7 : This is the gradle version that is used to build the project. Open that build.gradle file to check your gradle version.

Step 8 : Now open up the Android Studio. Select File->Open. Select that build.gradle file. Press "Ok"

Step 9 : Then a message box will pop up like this. Select "Yes"

Step 10 : Now a new window will be appeared like below. I have installed gradle 1.9 version on my PC. So I select "Use local gradle distribution" option. If you want you can download latest gradle version from here. Also you can select the "recommended" option as well.
