How to Import Gradle Project into Eclipse - android

I am finding it hard to run the gradle sample projects in Android Studio, getting lots of errors, found solutions for few errors in stackoverflow but its killing most of my time, Most of the new libraries are built using gradle, is there a way i can convert the gradle so that i can import in eclipse like general android-eclipse project? i tried the tutorial posted here
but most of the time its not working, i wanna try New material design samples available form github , can some help me importing them in eclipse

Try installing gradle integration to Eclipse from here: http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/gradle
You can choose only gradle during installation. Then Import / Gradle project, select root folder and press "Build model" for getting list of gradle projects. After selecting your project it will generate eclipse project file and import it. Then you can use your projects as usual (build, run etc).

As I wrote down here as it was relevant for LibGDX projects, Libgdx 1.3.0 doesn't build eclipse files
The new ADT 23.0.2 does not allow installing the Gradle Integration Tool directly from http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/gradle (or at least it did not for me), you need to go to Help -> Install New Software -> Work With -> Juno -> General Purpose Tools -> Marketplace Client, and then search for Gradle and add the Gradle Integration tool (not the 4.4 one).
Then just use Import -> Gradle, press Build Model, then OK and it should work.

The External Libraries missed when Importing a new project into AndroidStudio

There is no enough reputation for me to post a image so I have to describe it by words...
Open the Android Studio and change View from Android to Project there will be 2 child-folders, one is named by your project-name, the other is External Libraries.
There should be SDK and JDK or some support-libraries in it but now nothing!
The problem occured only when I tried to import an exsiting project.
So how to fix it?
Because, Migrating from Eclipse ADT to Android Studio requires adapting to a new project structure, build system, and IDE functionality. To simplify the migration process, Android Studio provides an import tool so you can quickly transition your Eclipse ADT workspaces and Ant build scripts to Android Studio projects and Gradle-based build files.

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.

Phonegap_java: duplicate class: org.apache.cordova.BuildConfig

I have downloaded Phonegap from CLI (working on windows7) and made a project from command line
phonegap create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
and built it
phonegap build android
When i import project (project/platforms/android) in Intelijj and try to build it, it gives me this error
java: duplicate class: org.apache.cordova.BuildConfig
Any advice?
The steps that I did to import project in IntelliJ, after I built the application with "cordova build":
Import project
select "PROJECT_FOLDER/platforms"
Import project from external model "Eclipse"
In select Eclipse project, select all.
Import JDK and SDK (JDK 1.7 and SDK Android API 17 and 19 in my case)
Import Android Dependencies From Property Files (Add dependency helloworls --> helloworld-cordovaLib) OK.
At last this build and run without problem to me.
There are an issue with IntelliJ and Maven, maybe you can apply the same solution.
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-94901
1.) Delete the "gen", "target" and "out" folders
2.) Revert the changes within the "ipr" and "iml" files
3.) Start IntelliJ 11.1.5 EAP / 12 EAP
4.) Open the pom file
5.) Right click -> "Maven" -> "Reimport"
6.) "Build" -> "Rebuild project"
A better workaround (tl;dr): Don't do the 'cordova build' step from the Cordova workflow (Getting Started Guide for Android)
We ran into this issue while doing Cordova training for our students. The recommended tool from developer.android.com switched from the Eclipse ADT Bundle to Android Studio, so we made the switch.
Unfortunately, you can't follow the same workflow. The Cordova 'Getting Started' guide for the Android platform spells out the commands to execute from the command line. But, they are for the Eclipse platform. One step needs to omitted for it to work with Android Studio.
One of the links above (http://www.tricedesigns.com/2013/05/16/phonegap-android-studio/) shows the correct workflow, but if you're used to the Cordova workflow, you may just assume it's the same and complete the steps in the same way. However! Omit the 'cordova build' step. Building the project (instead of letting Android Studio build it) causes Android Studio to get the error from the question.
The accepted answer above didn't work for us, because when we attempt to import the project, there is no 'Import project from external model "Eclipse"' option. This, however, worked just fine. Hope this saves you the hours we spent looking for answers/troubleshooting.

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.

Thanks a lot.
