How to use a Android Studio project on two computers?

Question

I use two computer for coding. My desktop pc and the notebook. I sync the two computers with dropbox. How can I import/load a project on each of this two computers? The project base folder is different on each computer. When I try to load/import a project which is created on the other computer it loads the project but I got a error with a wrong path.

"Gradle "Test2Project" project refresh failed: Could not fetch model of type "IdeaProject" using Gradle distribution "http://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.6.zip". Project directory "C:\Users\thomas\AndroidStudioProjects\Test2Project" does not exist."

The wrong pfad is the right pfad on the other computer. How can I import Android Studio projects so that it works even on another computer with a different folder structure?

Answer 1

Like the others i agree, that using a VCS would be the best solution. Even though you can try to filter all android studio related files (like *.iml, .idea folder and local.properties). I don't know if you can do this with dropbox or if you need some kind of 3rd software.

After that you should be able to make source code changes on both computers without greater problems. (You may have to declare project dependencies changes for the android studio twice) Builds depending on the build.gradle files should work to. But again: using a VCS is the better way to go.

Go for git, you can use bitbucket.com as a free remote repository.
