How to make the android project using gradle build system?

Go to the Welcome Screen of Android Studio (If you are in a project: File->Close Project).
There is a button "Import project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.)", press it.
From here on out, the wizard will guide you, but I'll describe them here too:
Select your project folder.
Enter your new project path.
Check all boxes.
There are many guides for migrating to Android Studio out there (for example by Google themselves).

importing github project into android studio

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

Automatically Migrating projects to gradle in Android studio

I made some apps in the past with android studio, and there was no problems with them.
And I could open example projects from many sites, for example: developer.android.com/.
Now after an update of android studio, I can't open projects in android studio without migrating them manually, which was done before the update by android studio itself.
What could be the problem now?
First I get this warning, that android framework is detected.
Then after choosing the setup frameworks and clicking ok, I get this:
As you can see it is not gradle based project.
What can I do to make android studio automatically migrate projects again?
IMPORTING ANDROID STUDIO PROJECT IN ANDROID STUDIO:
If you want to import An Android Studio Project then do the following:
1.
Select Open an existing Android Studio Project
2. Browse your desired project derectory.
3. Now rather than selecting the folder that contains your project, you have to select the build.gradle file that is just inside of your parent folder of the project.
It will not create any problem and will not ask you to migrate into gradle and import any framework at all.
IMPORTING ECLIPSE PROJECT IN ANDROID STUDIO:
If you want to import Eclipse Project in Android Studio:
1. Select Import project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.)
2. Then nothing special just follow the instructions in the wizard.

Importing and converting Eclipse-made Android project from Github to Android Studio Gradle-build

I'm trying to migrate from using Eclipse for my Android-project to the new Android Studio, and I'm having an issue related to Gradle.
What I want is for me to push the latest Eclipse-build to Github, and then be able to pull it down in Android Studio, having the latter automatically convert the project to a Gradle-build. If I'm reading the documentation right, the Android Studio import is supposedly able to do this.
When importing, I can choose between "Create project from exisiting sources" or "Import project from external model"
If I choose the first option, the project won't use Gradle (as far as I can see). If I choose the second, it seems to be looking for an already existing gradle buildfile "build.gradle" in my project.
So - Should I download a Gradle-plugin to Eclipse and make a gradle build-file there, or am I doing something wrong in the import?
It seems the only other questions I can find on SO is about importing and Eclipse export or simply how to pull a project from Github in Android Studio.
Thanks :-)
Importing and converting an existing Eclipse project into a Android Studio Gradle project is quite simple :
File -> Import Project (in Android Studio)
Select the manifest of your Eclipse Android project.
Done.
There may be some dependacy management to deal with.

How do you import an Eclipse project into Android Studio now?
How about this:
clone repo to location 1
export from eclipse
import to android studio in location 2
copy the .hg files or whatever's applicable from 1 to 2
commit from location 2 including deleting eclipse files
Now the repo will have the android studio project and not eclipse.

Convert a project to Android Studio

I'm trying to open the following project https://github.com/mik3y/usb-serial-for-android on Android Studio but all the things I try it give me errors related to gradle :s
It says version 0.9.0 introduce some incompatible changes but then I can't make the changes they said.
Can anyone try it to me?
The biggest issue is that Android Studio uses Gradle and Eclipse does not. It sounds like the GitHub project was built with Eclipse, which means you first have to import that project into Eclipse, then export it with the Gradle files.
From the Android docs
Export from Eclipse
Update your Eclipse ADT Plugin (you must have version 22.0 or higher).
In Eclipse, select File > Export.
In the window that appears, open Android and select Generate Gradle build files.
Select the project you want to export for Android Studio and click Finish.
Your selected project remains in the same location but now contains a build.gradle file and is ready for Android Studio.
Import into Android Studio In Android Studio, close any projects currently open. You should see the Welcome to Android Studio window.
Click Import Project. Locate the project you exported from Eclipse,
expand it, select the build.gradle file and click OK. In the following
dialog, leave Use gradle wrapper selected and click OK. (You do not
need to specify the Gradle home.) Now that your project is imported to
Android Studio, read Tips and Tricks for some help getting started.
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.

Android Studio: How to Migrate IntelliJ Project to Gradle?

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.
