Failed to read file modules.xml in Android Studio - android

I'm getting this error:
And I'm not sure what to do. There is no modules.xml file in the specified folder, so how can I get it back?

Close Android Studio, if it's opened
Go to the project workspace (Eg: C:\wheverever\it\is\TheProjectName)
Delete .idea folder
Open Android Studio and re import that project into it.

Import project with different module name than directory to android studio

I am trying to load a project called flutterlocation that I downloaded from github using git clone. The folder name is flutterlocation/ but the module configuration file inside are called location.iml therefore when I open the project, Android Studio says that it cannot find flutterlocation.iml
How to resolve this?
When you're opening a project, Android Studio will checking if your current project has its .iml file. The .iml file is auto-generated by Android Studio and will use the same file name (minus .iml) with the project name.
In your case, you need to rename your flutterlocation project directory name to location to match the previous .iml file. Then, you can refactor the project to use the correct one.
Another solution is by closing the project then removing the .iml file. Then import the project to tell the Android Studio to auto-generated the .iml file.
Close your Android Studio.
Go to the project root directory and delete the location.iml file.
Open the project using Android Studio (NOT import project). Android Studio now will automatically generate the correct flutterlocation.iml file for you.

How to import new project to Android Studio
Once you have unzip the file make sure
you delete duplicates of actual folder name
e.g QuakeReport-> QuakeReport ->app,.gradle,build, e.t.c
delete the duplicate sub file which it should be like this below
QuakeReport-> ->app,.gradle,build, e.t.c
then copy this file build.gradle file from your past android project into this project or visit https://developer.android.com/studio/build/index.html search for
dependencies {classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'}
which you copy other codes located in that block of code only and name your file
build.gradle
Open your Android Studio
Click on File located at the left upper end of Android Studio
click on New file
Scroll to Import file
Select the file
Click on import
Click on import project from external model
Click on use local gradle distribution then select latest gradle

or you see an on screen message gradle not present in this project
Click on clean project

Corrupted project workspace settings in Android Studio

This message appears when I open Android Studio project.
Cannot load settings from file
(C:\Users\User\AndroidStudioProjects\"AndroidStudioProjectName".idea\workspace.xml):
Error on line 1: Content is not allowed in prolog. Please correct the
file content.
Delete the workspace file, and then don't open the project but import it. In the launcher, click on Import project and give it the projects path.

Android Studio renaming

I recently renamed my Android app project in Android Studio (1.1b4) project, but am now unable to rebuild. I get this error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:clean'.
> Unable to delete directory: D:\AndroidstudioProjects\PcUpload\app\build\intermediates\res\release\values-sw600dp-v13
I renamed by right-clicking the top-level in the Project hierarchy, then selecting "Refactor...Rename".
Can anyone advise how I can remedy this?
Please make sure to rename project using refactor. You are getting that error because that project technically doesnt exsist under that directory, due to rename.
Another solution would be
Close android studio
Change project root directory name
Open android studio
Open the project(not from local history but by browsing to it)
Or follow This youtube video!
Or this!

Unable to open/import existing project into Eclipse

I'm a beginner at Android and there's an existing Android project I'd like to import into Eclipse.
From googling I found I should do this via File/Import/Existing project, which I did (there is a .project file in the root directory of the project I wish to open).
However after doing this Eclipse displayed an error message saying:
"ERROR: Unable to open class file C:\Users\ ..... \R.java: No such file or directory"
However the file R.java does exist at the location Eclipse is displaying in the error message.
Why does it think the file isn't there when it is?
How can I proceed to open the project?
TIA
I was able to import the project but after I cleaned the project I wasn't able to import the same project back to the same workspace. I think some files got deleted from the cleaning process.
I ended up changing the workspace directory and was able to get it working again.
Try to Clean your project and then Rebuild it. You could also try to manually delete the R.java file and Rebuild your project.
