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?

I have an android project that I can import to android studio. It opens but refuses to run. The file contains 4 folders (.idea, gen, java, res) and 2 files (AndroidManifest.xml and project.apk). I can't seem to run the app. When I import it, Android studio tells me "This project does not use the Gradle and migrate project to gradle.
Yes, Gradle is required for apps developed in or migrated to Android studio.
Android Studio’s build system is based on Gradle and uses build
configuration files written in Groovy syntax for ease of extensibility
and customization.
Since the whole build system is based on Gradle, you're stuck using it! Not a bad thing, Gradle is pretty great.
I have migrated quite a few projects to Android studio, for the most part it has been quick and painless.
There's a nice guide to help you migrate to Android Studio over at the Android development site: https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/migrate.html
I set up git in Android Studio
http://maxrohde.com/2014/08/18/import-github-project-to-android-studio/
Then imported this project
https://github.com/GautamGupta/Simple-Android-OCR
The following error was displayed:
Migrate Project to Gradle?
This project does not use the Gradle build system. We recommend that you migrate to using the Gradle build system.
What can I do to fix this?
That project hasn't been modified in two years, really four for most of the project, so it uses the older project layout and was very likely developed using Eclipse rather than Android Studio.
Here is the Google reference for migrating a project from Eclipse to Android Studio:
https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/migrate.html
An option if simply importing doesn't work is to install Eclipse and do an export from there to Android Studio. While you could just work in Eclipse it is deprecated for Android development and you'll find many more up-to-date resources for Android Studio.
How do you import an Eclipse project into Android Studio now?
Android Studio's default build system is Gradle. That GiftHub project is not using Gradle build system. Probably created from Eclipse (Ant build system)
So when you open a project that does not use Gradle build in Android Studio, it will ask to convert the Project to Gradle based build. You just give yes on the popup, it will take care of everything.

here it explains solutions for gradle errors
That's not an error!
The recommended build system for android projects is gradle.
But the author of this project in github did it using only eclipse without any special build system.
You just need to answer "yes" to that popup message and Android studio will convert the project to use gradle
For example this project. I see it has Gradle files, but a quick search says Eclipse has a Gradle plugin as well.
https://github.com/sephiroth74/HorizontalVariableListView
The Android build system is built on top of gradle:
https://developer.android.com/tools/building/plugin-for-gradle.html
So that means that just plain gradle is not enough to build an Android project.
As ADT never used gradle and Google has ended Eclipse support, you can be reasonably confident that an Android gradle project was made using Android Studio.
Gradle is a building tool. It has plugins for Eclipse, IntelliJ, Android Studio and Netbeans. So you won't be able to tell which IDE an Android project is made with from just a gradle file. Some project structures vary, for Eclipse projects and IntelliJ ones, you can find easily differences between them if you are familiar with both. But some are not explicitly, for IntelliJ projects and Android Studio ones.
BTW, do IDEs matter? The App you are building does, I am afraid.
Android Studio, which is developed based on IntelliJ. It uses gradle to build the project.
If a project contains .classpath or .project, it should be made by Eclipse. Or it should be made by android studio. A project made by android studio can not be imported into eclipse.
I didn't know how to use the gradle.I am downloaded the gradle in this link. https://www.gradle.org/downloads
Right now I am using the Android eclipse.Let me know gradle would be used in Android eclipse or Android Studio?
What about the installation process in gradle to run the project?
Android studio is flexible Gradle-based build system. It contains gradle by default. See this: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html
For eclipse you can use plugin. Here's a link: http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/eclipse_plugin.html
I recently downloaded the android studio and can't understand a few things.
I don't know gradle, and don't really need it, do I have to use it on android studio?
how do I create a run configuration without a normal android module?
Gradle is a project automation tool that builds upon the concepts of Apache Ant and Maven.
Android Studio is using Gradle as its build tool.
