When I download an Android project, I don't know how I can run it. As an example I've downloaded this project
When I open it Android Studio says that:

After clicking the Configure button I see only:

After clicking OK button, I can see the project structure and there is no any error.

However, I cannot build or run this project.

How can I do this?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance in this matter.

Some Projects given by the guides are older and donnt have the gradle configuration to run properly on the newest version of Android Studio.
The recommendation is never try to open in a normal way!!. You need import all the projects that you download, in that way Android Studio check and override configurations in project to run/Build properly.
I try import this porject and is working fine. All you need to do is Import and accept the sugestion that Android Studio popup to Update gradle.
EDIT:
You can import in 2 ways.
Important !! Select folder project.
First window to select Project in AS.

And the other way is when you have open the project just go File>New>Import Project
