How to import android source code(AOSP) into Android studio?

Question

I know how to import android source code into eclipse, but is there any way to import android source code into android studio. Because I want to change my IDE from eclipse to android studio.

Answer 1

I know this was already answered, but I wanted to add onto this for anyone else that sees this.

For Android studio:

1. Open terminal (*nix system) call the following:

   {AOSP root}/make idegen && development/tools/idegen/idegen.sh
   

2. This will generate an android.ipr file in the {AOSP root} directory.

3. In Android Studio, select 'Open project' and select the generated android.ipr file.
4. Note: this will take a long time to index all the files (~2 hours). Be patient. If a dialog box that says 'Framework detected' appears, select that and hit 'OK'.

Now you have the entire Android framework loaded into Android Studio.

Answer 2

I found the answer from my colleague, he told me that , use the file in

sourcecode/development/ide/eclipse/.classpath 

this file is for eclipse to import android source code . but there is a way to transfer this file into a intellij project import file . sorry , I also don't know how to transfer. but my colleague email me a *.iml file.yeah ,this is the file that can help you crate the intellij module . After you get the file ,copy that *.iml file to the root of your sourcecode,then you can open the intellij,create a empty project ,import module from existing module ,then in the window ,chose the *.iml file ,after that ,the only thing you can do is wait . it takes much time to import it. so ,you can develop the android source code in intellij . enjoy it!
