Android Studio - Build Android Example projects (No Build File)? - android

I wanted to check out some examples, so I went to the Android training page: developer.android.com. Downloaded an example, tried to open it in Android Studio but it is not recognized as a Project.
What is the procedure to use
That's what I get in Android Studio:
Any hints? Are those examples not supposed to have some gradle files?

Ideally, those would be complete projects. In practice, not all are. In this case, you just get a hunk of Java code and resources, with no manifest and no Gradle build files.
Hence, I would use those files as inspiration for your own code in your own project.

Unable to select JNI build variant after upgrading Android Studio to version 3.3

I have a Java Android project that includes JNI code written in C.
I often need to debug into the native code and before upgrading Android Studio to version 3.3 it was working.
Now in my project view I don't have any code in my cpp folder. I have confirmed that all of the C libraries are in the folder on my HDD. The CMAKE file is also missing from the project view but is also in the correct place on my HDD.
I have not changed any code from my source control since upgrading.
I am using
'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'.
In the Build Variants section next to my JNI module I just have five dashes instead of the debug/production options.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled android studio too.
Is it possible after upgrading I need to add something to my configuration to correct including CMAKE?
I had the same issue, just figured it out. In AndroidStudio 3.3.1, they changed things around a bit I guess. Now you have to link your NDK build to the app you are building it as part of.
This is documented at: https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/gradle-external-native-builds
The section, "Use the Android Studio UI" is what you want.

How to build a AOSP project in Android Studio

I have imported AOSP code into Android Studio, on building it I am getting some internal errors but Run, Debug buttons are disabled.
The errors I am getting are:
Can anyone please help me how to resolve this error and to compile AOSP into Android Studio.
Also can anyone please help to how to convert this project into a Gradle project?
AOSP used a special format of makefile to build the whole project. If you insist build it on the IDE, you should write a plugin to index the whole makefile on your own.
Focus on something more meaningful. Review and modify the code in IDE, build it in shell, save your time.
To browse and debug AOSP use Intellij IDEA (close to Android Studio) or Eclipse.
AOSP source contains a tool to generate configuration for these two IDE called IDEGen.
IDEGen automatically generates Android IDE configurations for IntelliJ IDEA
and Eclipse. Your IDE should be able to compile everything in a reasonable
amount of time with no errors.
IDEGen README
To debug AOSP Java code take a look at this article (even though it is for Android Studio, configuration is the same for InteliJ IDEA).

Is there any way to Know the Project is build in Eclipse or Android Studio?

I Would like to know is there any way to know the project is build in Eclipse or Android Studio.Let's say I have one project how can i know this is build in Eclipse or Android Studio.
Detail Description :
I Download one apk form Play Store and I get the source code like below image format.
Any Help be Appreciated. I Search lot of thing but doesn't work me.
The project from your screenshot is built in Android Studio. The highlighted .iml file is an IntelliJ IDEA project file and Android Studio is based on IntelliJ IDEA. Moreover it looks like a Gradle project - there is a gradle folder and gradlew script, which is usually another sign of using Android Studio.

Writing a Gradle for a previous Project

I just started an android project for school, and I have to edit an android application that was built by previous students. I was given source files and apk but no gradle.
I imported into Android Studio and tried to run the build when I saw that I couldn't. I have looked up documentation online for the past 4 days and have so far come up with nothing other than downloading the gradle-2.7 files and running:
build gradle
in my computers shell.
Is there an easy way to build a gradle? Perhaps some tools or such? Or will I have to go through the files and write all the gradles myself?
Android Studio uses a Gradle wrapper to fully integrate the Android plugin for Gradle. You can build your Android apps from within Android Studio and from the command line on your machine or on machines where Android Studio is not installed.
Android studio comes bundled with gradle and in the screenshot I can see gradel folder, gradlew and gradlew.bat and build.gradle files. So (hopefully) all you need to take care is build.gradle files.
I would strongly suggest you to go through link

Android - how to export eclipse project with libraries to android studio

my tries
click right at my project , choose Export ---> android
---> Generate Gradle build files
I stop in this point , I cant force overriding, any one know the reason
The Eclipse IDE uses a different file structure for their android projects, as opposed to the files structure of the projects created through Android Studio. Regardless of the Gradle builds and so on.
Your best bet would be to create a new Android Project based on the specifications of your Eclipse project. And migrate the source code as required. As far as the libraries are concerned, you can add them directly to the Android Project.
I also found that this might be useful for your current situation. Help on Migrating from Eclipse to Android Studio (Projects).
Hope this helps.
