Importing an app-compat v7 library eclipse project to android studio

Question

I have an Android application created in Eclipse, now I want to import it to Android studio, when I import project I get the following error

Project FinalProject Integrate:/home/vishal/Android_Workspace/FinalProject Integrate/project.properties:
Library reference ../android-support-v7-appcompat could not be found
Path is /home/vishal/Android_Workspace/FinalProject Integrate/../android-support-v7-appcompat which resolves to /home/vishal/Android_Workspace/android-support-v7-appcompat

and it is an unrecoverable error.

Answer 1

Here's what I did: In the the project.properties file I deleted all dependencies, and while importing project in Android studio I simply followed the instructions (making sure the check box are ticked, especially the one that says add any dependency). And it worked.

Answer 2

1. Edit your build.gradle, remove the dependency of project appcompat-v7
2. In Android studio, Go to main menu, File -> Project structure -> Dependencies, click add icon on the right side, and add appcompat-v7 as a library dependency.
