<p>If you have been using <a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/adt.html">Eclipse with ADT</a>, be aware
that <a href="{@docRoot}tools/studio/index.html">Android Studio</a> is now the official IDE for
Android, so you should migrate to Android Studio to receive all the latest IDE updates.</p>

<p>To migrate existing Android projects, simply import them using Android Studio:</p>

<ol>
  <li>In Android Studio, close any projects currently open. You should see the
  <strong>Welcome to Android Studio</strong> window.</li>
  <li>Click <strong>Import Non-Android Studio project</strong>.</li>
  <li>Locate the project you exported from Eclipse, expand it, select the
  <strong>build.gradle</strong> file and click <strong>OK</strong>.</li>
  <li>In the following dialog, leave <strong>Use gradle wrapper</strong> selected and click
  <strong>OK</strong>. (You do not need to specify the Gradle home.)</li>
</ol>

<p>Android Studio properly updates the project structure and creates the appropriate
Gradle build file.</p>
