How to import Android Studio (1.0) project into Intellij 14 Ultimate

Question

I have an Android Studio project and I would like to start using Intellij 14 Ultimate to take advantage of some of the cool features it has to offer. When I try to open my project I get a message saying:

Gradle Sync

Version 1.0.0-rc4 of the Android Gradle plug-in requires Gradle null or newer. A local Gradle distribution was not found ....

Click 'OK' to use the Gradle wrapper.

I click ok and it tries to Sync, but fails. Here is what the error console says:

Gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 2.1. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in ~gradle-wrapper.properties~

I modify the file click "Try Again"

Nothing happens. Here is what is in the log file:

I've also tried importing the project and get similar results. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Idea support pointed me to this:

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-134118

Basically changing my gradle dependency fixed it

//For Android Studio
//classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0-rc4'

// For Intellij
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.14.4'

Resync and success!
