I'm new to programming and computer science in general. I've looked around and Atomic Kotlin seems to be the most organized and comprehensive course for new learners. I'm using Android Studio to learn how to program.
When I get to Introduction to Objects > Testing the package atomictest doesn't import for any of the following exercises.
I have created a sample program to check if the package and import tools worked in general and the tools worked fine. Then, I tried to see if IntelliJ IDEA had the same issue with the course and importing atomictest worked just fine. So it seems that there is a compatibility issue or a referencing issue with Android Studio and Atomic Kotlin.
I went into the Packages portion of the project tree and went to the actual *.kt file containing the package and it checks out.
Here's what the error looks like within the Android Studio IDE
I could continue with IntelliJ but I want to learn using Android Studio. Why is this issue happening and how do I fix it? Thank you in advance.

Why don't we have a file similar to the .xcodeproj (for XCode applications) or an .xds (for Sencha Architect Projects) for our Android Studio Project?
I'm pretty sure a good number of you here have experienced the frustration of trying to import a project you see online in order to piece it apart better and learn how it works. I get that we are supposed to Import Android Projects built using Eclipse and Open Android Projects built using Android Studio.
However, why is it that we have to go through File -> Open -> then pick out the directory of the Android Studio app that we want to open? And the thing is, Android Studio doesn't seem to know it's an Android Studio project until it tries to open and build it. In the screenshot I have below, I have the sample Android Studio projects of ARToolKit, but I've only imported two of them.
As you can see, only those I've imported "can be seen as an Android Studio Project" as indicated that they have the Android Studio logo instead of a Folder.
This can be an issue for those just starting to develop in Android Studio on their own and they try and use existing projects (build from Eclipse or Android Studio) and they hit a snag with just trying to import the projects for reference. They might not know that they should import the folder and not the projectname/src subfolder. It adds to the "steep learning curve" that Android Development has if opening/importing projects aren't streamlined to a degree.
To sum up, my question is:
Why don't we have a single file that we can open that would in turn open Android Studio and import and build the project if it isn't built yet?
Android is not iOS. iOS development is only possible in xcode, hence it makes sense they added a shortcut to open it in xcode directly with a .xcodeproj file. Make life easier for iOS developers.
Android development however can be done outside of android studio as well. Eclipse is just one example, there may be other IDE's that support this. This is possible because android has standalone SDKs and tools that third party applications can use. iOS does not.
Imagine you are working on an android project in android studio. Then your boss tells you someone from 3000km away is going to help you. This guy may be using android studio, but maybe he isn't. When there are multiple options that developers can choose from individually, you do not want to pollute version control with files that you are using, but others may not care about. Each their environment.
This is merely a logical conclusion that you can come to by comparing. The "real" reason why this was done can only be answered by the people that created (adapted intellij) android studio.
This has been very frustrating to me too.
I try to give you a "beta" answer, waiting somebody to confirm it to me.
An Android project is just the composition of many parts that in some cases are concurrent to create the apk file.
It's just like what happens for the whole java projects: you have the main/src/java, the main/src/test, the maver or gradle files, the gradle or maven wrapper, the manifest, the configuration etc.
So you won't have a single project, but a series of folders that can contain many "flavours" or "versions" of the product itself.
The only help it is given to us is the Android studio icon that appears if a folder contains an android project in its subfolders.
I don't know if I have really answered to you, I just have given you my impressions and my thought.
I am new to android development, So I am not sure if this question is very silly
I was wondering if the same source code can run in both eclipse and android studio
If this is possible how to do it, and what points should be considered?
If not what are the road blocks to accomplish this.
Simple answer: Yes, you can "write" (not run) in both IDE's.
Aside: You really don't even need an IDE. If using Gradle, you can write code using any text-editor, then compile, build, test, and install all using Gradle.
If this is possible how to do it?
Well, Android Studio can import Eclipse projects. That is pretty well documented.
Eclipse (unofficially) has an Andmore project and also supports Gradle projects.
what are the road blocks to accomplish this
If using Eclipse, it's not supported by the Android team anymore, and you'll likely be missing out on features that are actively added to Android Studio.
So I've been trying to install libgdx for a few days with Eclipse and it kept telling me various things (Android ADT, Java JDK, etc.) needed to be updated, so I did that, but I kept getting the same error.
Then I decided to download an older version (0.9.8) and I used the gdx-setup-ui.jar to set up my projects. But upon opening them in the Eclipse/ADT bundle, the Android and HTML projects had errors in them involving the import statements, which I tried to solve to no avail.
This is the tutorial I've mainly tried to follow.
Does anybody have a solution for me to get it to work? I'm most familiar with Eclipse, having worked with it for Android for a while now, so I'd prefer not to switch IDEs.
Thanks in Advance
Use ADT (Android Developer Tools) instead of Eclipse. (Is the same thing anyways)

If you got errors after importing your projects on android, right click on the android project, and at android, check the version that is there.
For HTML you need to install the GWT plugin.
Recently libGDX has moved to Gradle, so you might want to look over that

I am very new to android development. Actually today is my second day. I downloaded this code for an app and I want to test it if it works or not. I downloaded it from here.
I am using android studio but I have no idea where to import this code so I can test it. I tried to search google but I am not sure if I am looking for package import or java or android application library. This all is very confusing to me. Can someone tell me how can I import and run this code in android studio IDE.
thanks
Go with the Android Development Bundle. It is Eclipse with an SDK build by Android for Android. It will make things much easier on you.
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
After that, you can simply go to File->Import.
try this out Migrating from eclipse to studio
The phonegap create still makes a phonegap project but the eclipse no cannot see projects when you select import and browse to the folder. It says "No projects are found to import".
It worked fine before though because made projects before.
Why does this happen?
UPDATE:
Seems the problem is with my eclipse since tried to give the created phonegap project to a colleague and it is recognized in his eclipse. For some reason my eclipse stopped recognizing phonegap projects.
#jhdj Delete all the existing projects in the eclipse ide and import the project which you want i hope you will get it,
file->import->android->existing android code into workspace
hope this works,b/c it worked for me.
You can try.
Check are you trying to import from the right directory. You are looking in some wrong
directory.
There are so many posts available in So only for this kind of problem refer them.
No projects found to import
No projects are found to import - Helios eclipse
Why "no projects found to import"?
You also have an alternative which I was using when I was working on linux fedora.
Otherwise look into this tutorial to build phonegap application in eclipse itself
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/html5/articles/getting-started-with-phonegap-in-eclipse-for-android.html
See this section -- Creating the project in Eclipse
The tutorial is for the cordova-1.5.0.js version.
You can use the latest version or may the versuion you wan to use there is no problem in doing that at all.
