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.

I've an old project developed using Eclipse. Now, I want to use Android Studio to continue to development (for the sake of better IDE), but I don't want to use Gradle.
I was able to build/debug the project when I open the legacy project using Android Studio, but I find no way to update an existing jar in the libs folder.
What I found on the interweb is that I need to use Gradle, but I don't even have a Gradle file right now, so, it is possible to replace a newer version of jar in libs folder without using Gradle?
I am not a dev, but have some dev experience. I have never used Android Studio before but I wanted to look at an example app. I picked one I am very interested in, but it gives me nothing but grief just trying to import it.
https://github.com/AltBeacon/android-beacon-library-reference
Notes:
I am using the latest version of Android Studio. (1.0.2). I have added in all the SDK files needed I think.
I have downloaded and un-zipped Gradle 2.2.1.
I am running Ubuntu 14.04.
I have dealt with Eclipse for Android previously and was able to
hack someone else's code to suit my needs and actually deploy an unsigned apk.
The readme/install directions at the github don't really help a noob
like me.
Install:
I have extracted the project from the Download Zip link.
For the actual import into Android Studio I choose "Open an Existing
Android Studio Project" - because it looks like one.
I then choose the root directory created by unzipping the zip file,
in this case it is named "android-beacon-library-reference-master".
But it seems to select the project's Gradle subfolder (/gradle) for the project! Which I'm quite certain is invalid. I cannot seem to get it to use the root
folder.
What am I missing? Or is this not the correct way to "import" this particular app? Is this app not compatible with AS 1.0.2?.
TIA!
In Android Studio, close any projects currently open. You should see the Welcome to Android Studio window.
1.Click Import Non-Android Studio project.
2.Locate the project you exported from Github, expand it, select the build.gradle file and click OK.
3.In the following dialog, leave Use gradle wrapper selected and click OK. (You do not need to specify the Gradle home.)
Android Studio properly updates the project structure and creates the appropriate Gradle build file.
Can you try "Import Project" instead "Open Project". Thanks.
I have an Android project created in Android Studio. It works fine in Android Studio, IDEA and build machine.
Now we have several new developers who work in Eclipse and I can't set it up. Is it possible to convert gradle(android studio) project to Eclipse IDE?
You'll have to maintain the build separately in both Gradle and Eclipse; Eclipse can't use the Android Gradle builder natively. It's on our list of things to implement but we don't have a roadmap for it yet.
Things will go easiest if you use an Eclipse-like directory structure and adapt the Gradle build file to work with it. See Maintaining directory structure during Android Studio import for advice.
Use Eclipse Compatibility Mode in Android Studio and Idea.
Or
Use Gradle and the new Build system in Eclipse: Is there any way to integrate Eclipse with Gradle in Android project?
Prior to this version it seemed easy to open an eclipse project as-is in Android Studio without any conversion. I prefer the Android Studio environment, but am working on a project that uses eclipse as the main IDE. I'd rather not have to download the eclipse bundle just for this one project.
Is there any way to open an eclipse project as-is, without conversion to the gradle build system, in Android Studio 0.4.3?
EDIT:
It appears that if you use Android Studio's download from source control feature, it'll let you open the project that way. But what if I already have the source downloaded? I don't want to remove it just to redownload it again. It seems like this option has disappeared from the main 'import' wizard.
We're strongly encouraging users to move toward the Gradle build system, and we're in the slow process of making that the only way to create new projects in Android Studio -- you're seeing this now on importing Eclipse-based projects. We'd like to replace all other build systems in use with Gradle, including Ant and the Eclipse internal builder, though the latter two are farther out on the roadmap.
If your ultimate goal is to move to Android Studio, then you might want to reconsider and just set up a Gradle build file. You don't have to adopt the Gradle-style multimodule project structure (which the current Eclipse importer imposes upon you by making a copy of your project); you can rework your build.gradle file to use the Eclipse-structured project in-place. You can get a good start on this if from Eclipse you use the feature to export your project to Gradle build files. It will set up the project in that fashion, though that feature in ADT is a little out of date and you'll need to update the version of the Android Gradle plugin in the build file and the Gradle version in the wrapper that it outputs.
I think this may actually solve your problem. IntelliJ or Android Studio have never been able to use the Eclipse project directly -- they've always imported the Eclipse project and converted to an IntelliJ-style project, and if you later change the Eclipse project, you'll need to re-import into IntellilJ-land. I'm guessing your real desire is to use the Eclipse project in Android Studio without having it make a copy and converting into its preferred directory structure. (By the way, we'll eventually improve Eclipse-to-Gradle import to lift this restriction).
Once you have the Gradle build file in place, you can use it when working with the project in Android Studio, and you'll still have the Eclipse project files when working with it in Eclipse. The big drawback is that you'll have to keep them in sync as you change dependencies and project structure, but hopefully that doesn't happen too often. Even if you weren't using Gradle, you'd still need to keep both projects in sync anyway, so Gradle isn't costing you anything there.
Having said all that, it doesn't directly answer your question, which is how to use the your project without Gradle.
Once you have an IntelliJ-built project, you can open it in Android Studio and use it normally without migrating to Gradle (though I think it does show you a popup when opening the project recommending you do so; you can ignore that). What you need to do is to get that initial IntelliJ project, and once you have it, check all the .iml files into source control -- those .iml files contain all the project information. To get those files, you'll need to import the Eclipse project either in IntelliJ CE, or in Android Studio prior to 0.4.0. Then you'll have your .iml files -- hang on to them.
I'll point out that if you're using Gradle as your build system, we recommend that you don't check those .iml files into source control. There, the build.gradle files are the source of truth for project structure; the fact that Android Studio creates .iml files at all is an implementation detail that reflects that internally Android Studio is still treating this project as an import instead of deriving structure from the Gradle files directly (and we resynchronize state when we know we need to). But saving those .iml files into source control or modifying them directly will lead to confusion or loss of any changes you make there when it resynchronizes.
I think you should give a try to Intellij Idea with ADT Plugin instead of Android Studio, if such requirements are there. Intellij IDEA will support both type of Android projects.
What If I want to move to Android Studio completely sometime?
There is nothing new in Android Studio it is just an IDE based on Intellij IDEA. You can easily switch between Intellij IDE and AS anytime. The only thing is to learn in AS is the new gradle build system. IDE related most of the features are there in Intellij IDE as well.
If you want to move Android Studio start using gradle Build System. That is only the main power of new Tools.
As per your question you don't wanna move your project in gradle then you can have both IDE together like Intellij IDEA at place of Eclipse and Android Studio as well. Msot of the Developer including me having Eclipse along with Android Studio.
EDIT :
I found a workaround to import Eclipse project in Android Studio but I will not recommend you to do this
Look at my answer here
Not Use Gradle In Android Studio
I have been trying to export my eclipse project as a gradle build file to use it with Android Studio but I can't seem to make it work correctly.
When I click "Finish" nothing happens. If I repeatedly click it, I can see a progress bar that shows for a millisecond and then vanishes.
My ADT is version 22.3 (which is the latest) and I have tried all of the solutions I found on google as well.
Similar questions can be found here:
Eclipse Gradle export of Android project does nothing
Cannot generate gradle.build files from Eclipse
As you can see, there is not really a solid solution for this problem, but people wrote they created it manually. I don't know how to do so though.
Is there any solution for this problem that I haven't heard of? If not, how can I create the file manually?
Apparently, the current edition of the export-to-Gradle support in Eclipse cannot handle a project that is attached to an Android library project. In that case, you would need to (temporarily) detach the Android library project, export the main project, then modify build.gradle to use the library project (manually or via Android Studio).
Generating build.gradle files FIRST FOR ALL of the projects in my dependencies ONE AFTER ANOTHER worked for me.
I generated build.gradle (with export wizrd for facebook, play and whatever other projects I imported and used in my project).
For not trivial Android project you should do it manually.
For the latest build.gradle template for classic Android project check gh.c/N/n-1/b/m/o.n.e.e.g/docs/android/build.gradle.
You can continue to develop in Eclipse with ADT and run Gradle build using Nodeclipse/Enide Gradle for Eclipse
