| |
| <p>If you've previously developed for Android using Eclipse and would like to migrate |
| to Android Studio, you should export your projects from Eclipse in order to generate |
| Gradle build files. You can then import your project into Android Studio.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2 id="Export">Export from Eclipse</h2> |
| <ol> |
| <li><a href="{@docRoot}tools/help/adt.html#Updating">Update your Eclipse ADT Plugin</a> |
| (you must have version 22.0 or higher).</li> |
| <li>In Eclipse, select <strong>File > Export</strong>.</li> |
| <li>In the window that appears, open <strong>Android</strong> and select <strong>Generate Gradle |
| build files</strong>.</li> |
| <li>Select the projects you want to export for Android Studio and click |
| <strong>Finish</strong>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>Your selected projects remain in the same location but now contain a {@code .gradle} |
| build file and are ready for Android Studio.</p> |
| |
| |
| <h2 id="Export">Import into Android Studio</h2> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In Android Studio, select <strong>File > Import Project</strong>.</li> |
| <li>Locate a project you exported from Eclipse, select the project's root directory and |
| click <strong>OK</strong>.</li> |
| <li>Select <strong>Create project from existing sources</strong> and click |
| <strong>Next</strong>.</li> |
| <li>Follow the walk-through to complete the import process.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| |
| <p>Now that your projects are imported to Android Studio, |
| read <a href="{@docRoot}sdk/installing/studio-tips.html">Tips and Tricks</a> for some |
| help getting started.</p> |

| <p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> |
| 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. |
