All the questions dealing with this are now outdated. I am simply trying to open an existing Android Studio project. I have cloned a repository for a project from http://blog.stylingandroid.com/material-part-2/ I have all the files, I choose "Open an existing android studio project" and then choose the "Material" folder which is the root directory of the project. When the project loads, it is called "gradle" and there are no files showing in the project frame. I am using the latest version of android studio and the latest build tools as of 19 Dec 2014. How do I import a project?
If you don't have a project opened, Android Studio shows the Welcome screen, where you can create a new project by clicking Start a new Android Studio project. If you do have a project opened, create a new project by selecting File > New > New Project from the main menu.
press the combined keys of Alt+1 then the project files will appear on the left side of the screen.
From the Android Studio welcome screen, try "Import Non-Android Studio project". It sounds like exactly what wouldn't work, but it does.
On 1.5.1, there's no Import Non-Android Studio project
as the accepted answer says, but chosing Import project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.)
does the trick. Open an existing Android Studio project
does not work. Still quite weird.
