I have an Android project in Eclipse and I need to use some libraries in it, but I can't add them to the project because I can't find build.gradle file, please help me to make my Android project support Gradle like Android Studio
you could install Eclipse Buildship for Gradle support.
or import the project to Android Studio.
in both cases the ant build would need to be converted.

I set up git in Android Studio
http://maxrohde.com/2014/08/18/import-github-project-to-android-studio/
Then imported this project
https://github.com/GautamGupta/Simple-Android-OCR
The following error was displayed:
Migrate Project to Gradle?
This project does not use the Gradle build system. We recommend that you migrate to using the Gradle build system.
What can I do to fix this?
That project hasn't been modified in two years, really four for most of the project, so it uses the older project layout and was very likely developed using Eclipse rather than Android Studio.
Here is the Google reference for migrating a project from Eclipse to Android Studio:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/migrate.html
An option if simply importing doesn't work is to install Eclipse and do an export from there to Android Studio. While you could just work in Eclipse it is deprecated for Android development and you'll find many more up-to-date resources for Android Studio.
How do you import an Eclipse project into Android Studio now?
Android Studio's default build system is Gradle. That GiftHub project is not using Gradle build system. Probably created from Eclipse (Ant build system)
So when you open a project that does not use Gradle build in Android Studio, it will ask to convert the Project to Gradle based build. You just give yes on the popup, it will take care of everything.

here it explains solutions for gradle errors
That's not an error!
The recommended build system for android projects is gradle.
But the author of this project in github did it using only eclipse without any special build system.
You just need to answer "yes" to that popup message and Android studio will convert the project to use gradle
I didn't know how to use the gradle.I am downloaded the gradle in this link. https://www.gradle.org/downloads
Right now I am using the Android eclipse.Let me know gradle would be used in Android eclipse or Android Studio?
What about the installation process in gradle to run the project?
Android studio is flexible Gradle-based build system. It contains gradle by default. See this: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
For eclipse you can use plugin. Here's a link: http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/eclipse_plugin.html
I get Android project from Eclipse, and I can import it to my Android Studio. I read all instructions about it... first step is export this project from eclipse. But I dont have eclipse and I cant install it.
Can I import this project without Eclipse?
Thanks a lot.
The documentation at the developer site says:
Note: It's possible to import an existing Android project to Android
Studio even if you don't generate a Gradle build file from
Eclipse—Android Studio will successfully build and run projects using
an existing Ant build file. However, in order to take advantage of
build variants and other advanced features in the future, we strongly
suggest that you generate a Gradle build file using the ADT plugin or
write your own Gradle build file for use with Android Studio. For more
information about the Gradle build system, see the Gradle Plugin User
Guide.
I have a project that was originally from IntelliJ.
I followed the instructions below.
http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/migrating-from-intellij-projects
I'm not sure what to do next. When I load my project in Android Studio it still asks if I want to migrate to gradle. What did I miss?
I am able to use Gradle in the command prompt to build my project, so I assume I just need to tell Android Studio to use Gradle instead of Ant.
I next imported my existing project and it recognized it as a gradle project. I also had to change the gradle version in the gradle.build file to work with the newer version of Android Studio.
I imported a project from Eclipse and android studio is not using my gradle scripts to build the project. Anyone else having this issue? Is there anyway to force Android Studio to use gradle to build my project.
If you import an existing project with no gradle configuration, Android Studio will use the old build system. If you want to use gradle, you should follow the instructions in the documentation :
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/migrate.html
Delete .idea and .iml, then open your project again
