I just downloaded a project from GitHub to learn from those that know better; Image 1. After extracting the project and importing it to my android studio, it gave me "migrate project to gradle" error.
I have imported using gradle but to no avail.
This is the screenshot of my studio:

The project thinks it's still a non-Gradle based project; it's not the presence of the build.gradle file that makes it Gradle-based, but
it's how the project was set up in the first place.
You'll need to re-import your project to finish the conversion to Gradle.
First, though, it looks like you don't have a settings.gradle file; it looks like you need one. Since you've set up your project as a single-module project, then you can put the file in your project's root directory, next to build.gradle. It should contain this:
import ':'
In the future if you add more modules to your project you may want
to convert it to a multi-module directory structure, but you don't
need to worry about that now. In any event, now you need to do the
re-import in Android Studio:
Close your project, Back up your project, Delete the .idea folder in
the root directory of the project and Delete all the .iml files in your
project. Import your project in Android Studio, and in the dialog
that prompts you for a file, choose the build.gradle file. After
this you should be good to go.
If that does not help, this will guide you through the process: Migrate existing project to Gradle.

Am not getting gradle file in the Android project as it is unavailable in android studio bt is available in project file folder. I tried a lot to resolve this issue but I failed.
Thanks in Advance

I have facing an exact same situation in past, I solved this error by following step
First of all I would remove following files/directories from your project-folder:
bin/
build/
.idea/
.gradle/
projectname.iml
when you open android studio import your project
I have one project which was initially in eclipse, then i managed somehow to convert it to gradle and everything was working fine in Android Studio.
But then i didn't work some time with the project and after few months when i returned to project i am surprised that Android Studio has problems with this project.
When i selected "Android" from top left dropdown in AS, where you should see the project as Android, i saw no files, then i did something and now i see there one empty folder Java.
If i hit button "sync project with gradle files" AS says message as posted in name of question, but it is gradle based project.. there are gradle files etc.
Do you someone know why is this problem? Why it should stop work like this?
Thank you
Make sure you open the project from its root directory. i.e. the directory which contains the top level build.gradle file.
The missing top level gradle file is what causes this error.
For native Flutter Projects:
Note that this error will also appear if you "sync your project with Gradle files " in the root directory. Gradle works only in your android directory (flutter_name/android).
Configure Gradle version
I got this error because i wanted to change some build values like the Gradle version and the Gradle plugin version (and other build values ex. kotlin):
In your current project: File>Open
Select directory: user/StudioProjects/flutter_name/android
Open directory in a new window
After it is opened it will load some packages (see right bottom), which will take some time.
Under File>Project Structure Project you can set the gradle version and under Modules variables of your build
Now you can sync your project with Gradle files or at least read out the error messages, that come with your configuration
After configuration, you might need to restart your project with File>Invalid Caches/Restart....
That worked for me:
copy the file build.gradle
drop the copied file build.gradle in
your app/project folder .
My project stopped showing all of sudden and already had build.gradle file.
I just reopened it via File > Open.
I'm new on Android Studio, and I'm still learning to importing libs and modules.
The thing is I have created my project as usual but in some point I lost the "project" gradle file and no I have only modules.
I wonder why none of gradle files have the "Project" word. In fact I'm interesting in the file build.gradle (Module:Swipe) to (Project:Swipe)
Question
How can I set the file build.gradle (Module:Swipe) changes to (Project:Swipe)
Not sure I understand your question...
It seems like you are missing the Project gradle file. I dont know what caused that.
To add a new one, just copy one from another project and edit it (it needs to be located on the project folder)
*Maybe it will be easier on the project pane. see here how to change to project panel:

I've a big problem with Android Studio.
I have a project that depends on two other projects (as libs).
I followed the guide Problems importing project into Android Studio regarding ActionBarSherlock for import external modules.
I opened "Project Structure", imported the module, but after that I can't see it in the Modules area.
The Modules area contains only the root module, seems it is not refreshed (this is strange). So if I try to add the module as a Dependency, Android Studio doesn't find any module!
Then, if I try to re-import the module, it says that the module/project is already registered!!
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know what....! I have this problem both on Windows and MacOSX.
Thanks in advance,
Federico
Look around in your .idea directory for mentions of the problematic project. I had the same problem and resolved it by deleting the entry from .idea/sbt.xml.
In ij go to menu: View -> Tool Windows-> Gradle
Right click on the problematic module and click Refresh External Project, You should see the module in project explorer.
I had a similar problem with ABS and other library imports. The 'Project Structure' interface just wouldn't show the modules. On trying to import the modules, it would prompt, "The project is already registered". Seems to be an IntelliJ/Android Studio issue. Invalidate Caches option didn't help.
Reimporting the project after some cleanup did work for me.
As a precaution, take a backup of your project and store it safely
Ensure that your project builds via gradle command-line and you have all required dependencies specified in respective build.gradle files. Try building with: gradle clean && gradle build
Close the project in Android Studio (or close Android Studio)
Delete .iml files and .idea folders from all modules and the main project
Start Android Studio and reimport the project (Import project from external model > Gradle)
you should remove the project from respective gradle/sbt/maven/ant tab (used to be on right vertical line of Android Studio/Intellij IDEA)

My issue was fixed when I restart IDEA.
In a new Android Studio project, when I view Project Structure, there are 2 modules. One is "ProjectName" and the other is "ProjectName-ProjectName". Did I do something wrong when creating the project?
When creating new projects, we always create a top level project with a single module in it.
Studio or IntelliJ will show both in the module list but the top one ("testing") doesn't output anyway.
We do this instead of a flat structure in the root project, so that it will allow you later to easily add new modules (like libraries) without having to convert the structure of your project.
what matters is the "testing-testing" module (we'll probably rename this "testing-main" at some point). the other module doesn't do anything. If you look at its build.gradle it's empty, while the other one declares an Android project.
I got a similar set of .iml files as yours, using an older version of Android Studio, but after upgrading to a later version it created yet another .iml, so then there was a top-level project.iml with a module containing module.iml and module-module.iml.
As far as I could tell, the module-module.iml file was useless, and the key information was in module.iml. However, even if I deleted all the iml files, Android Studio would recreate all of them, so I realized it was storing enough information in the [project]/.idea/modules.xml to recreate the iml files from scratch.
So I exited Android Studio, deleted the .idea folder and the .iml files, then relaunched Android Studio and imported the project using the build.gradle files. It recreated only project.iml and module.iml, and everyone is happy.
SUMMARY:
As long as your gradle.build files are clean, then you can delete the .idea and .iml files, import the project using the gradle files, and get a nice clean project structure.
