There is sample code on the developer site that i wish to run.
When I import as a new Android Studio project, I'm not given any ability to run the code (disabled buttons).
I attempted to copy the source files over into the shell of a new project, but i than got errors that didn't make sense. reference to duplicate declarations in source files that had nothing relating inside them.
Is there an idiots guide on how to properly use android studio, or is it just this difficult?
In order to correctly import the project, you should follow the Samples guide as found in the developer docs.
To import a downloaded project:
Unpack the downloaded project package.
In Android Studio, chose File >
Import Project and select the root folder of the unpacked project.
Android Studio may ask you to choose the type of project you are
importing.
If this is the case, make sure to choose Import project
from external model and select the Gradle option.
Alternatively, if the Gradle option does not work, I would attempt to use the Eclipse option.
Open .gradle file when you import the project, not the folder of the proyect.

how can I add a custom library project (in my example the CuXtomCam library) to an existing android project using Android Studio 1.1?
I've read about changing the build.gradle file. But where should I place the library ressources?
Thank you in advance for all answers and comments!
To import library into Android Studio:
select File > Import, and then select the directory containing the project to import.
a wizard will open and guide you through the rest of the import process.
When the project import has finished, it will open up a file called "import-summary.txt" which lists all the steps taken during import and suggestions for next steps. For example, it may note files that were not migrated, it may note missing components in your SDK install, and so on.
Just right click on the project then New>Module. from the new window select Import existing project. Give the directory. I think this will help
I have imported OpenCV and am able to run all the sample codes. I have to now work on an already built app. How do I import this project? This app uses OpenCV.
EDIT: I am a beginner to opencv for android. The OpenCV tutorials tell me how to create a new project, not how to import it.
If the project is already from another eclipse and the versions are compatible, you can move the project folder into the workspace folder on the file system, copy/paste into the project explorer (Java Perspective) or use the 'Import > File System' function.
If the project is a bunch of raw project files, you can use the 'File > Import..' function in eclipse, choose '..Existing Project..'
Then you should be all set.
If you're starting anew with just .java files and android xml etc. You'll then need to include the the OpenCV project in the workspace and add the project to your app's project, as listed here from OpenCV's documentation of "Using the Android Binary Packages":
"Do the right mouse click on your app in Package Explorer, go to Properties ‣ Android ‣ Library ‣ Add "
Here's the link for that:
http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/android_binary_package/android_binary_package.html
import it to the workspace.AS usually you import any other project.If there is any error share the error.I think this is the correct way.
I have a root directory with a number of android eclipse projects inside. They all have .project files, but eclipse does not seem to see them as eclipse projects? Does anyone know the reason why?
Cause for not importing projects in eclipse :
Reason 1 : Project Structure Differs
Reason 2 : Project Configuration files missing or not available
Reason 3 : Project can be already exists in workspace
Reason 4 : Don't have Proper and Standard Naming Convention
Follow these steps.
Hope you have android sdk and ADT plugin for eclipse.
File-->Import-->Android-->Existing Android code into workspace.
Then import the projects from your root directory using Browse button. If you don't have ADT plugin definitely you never import your android projects.
You have to import them manually
First File > Import
Then General > Existing Project Into Workspace
Either select root directory or Select archive file, click Browse to locate the directory or file containing the project that you want to import
Under Projects select the project that you want to import
Finally click finish to import the project
Here is a link to the eclipse help section on this

I have downloaded an android sample called custom view from android refernce from this location
http://developer.android.com/shareables/training/CustomView.zip
It only has the java files and other resources but does not contain any project file for me to import in eclipse as a project.
So when I import existing project into workspace, eclipse does not pick the project in the import dialog.
How can I import it into eclipse ? I have ADT tools installed already,
Thanks,
Ahmed
Maybe that's because you'll have to make the manifest.xml file.
What I'd suggest, is to create a new Android project, with the same package and Activity's name than in your zip (ie com.example.android.customviews and MainActivity), then copy/paste the files from your zip to the new project directory (thus replacingsrcandres` folders). That way, Eclipse will generate the manifest for you, with correct reference.
This should not take more than 30 seconds...
Go to Project Explorer and right click -> Import -> Select Android -> Existing Android Code Into Workspace -> browse to folder with your code -> finish
I encountered the same problem. I did thought that it's missing the AndroidManifest.xml file. I tried to fixed it and place it here. You can download it an try.
I downloaded the android source code for callLog UI for the Contacts, Call log, and Dialer applications using this link https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Contacts/
Now, I want to use it on eclipse. But when I try to import the project,it says it didnt found the project. Then I tried to set all the configurations manually, but it show a lot of errors with the importing, the AndroidManifest.xml, with the R.java, etc.
So is there any way of import this directly as a project to eclipse?
Thanks.
File->New Project ->Android Project
In the dialog, choose the option "Existing Project" and put the path to the project root path.
This always works for me.
With adt-20131030 it's File-->New-->Project...-->Android-->Android Project from Existing Code. Then put the path to the project root path.
