Move a project from one laptop with eclipse to another with android studio

Question

I have my project in eclipse on my old computer. I now have a new one I put android studio on. Can anyone tell me how to get my project onto my new laptop with android studio from eclipse on my old computer? My new computer has android studio not eclipse.

Answer 1

First of all, you need to move the files to your new computer ;) then you have two possible approaches:

• Importing the Eclipse project directly into Studio (inside Studio, via File > Import Project, and then selecting the directory containing your Eclipse ADT project).
• Exporting the Eclipse project from Eclipse as a Gradle project (may need a recent version of Eclipse).

Answer 2

Just copy your project folder and pass it to your new computer. That's it. Eclipse keeps all project settings in a file inside the project folder. However, you might need to change a few paths when starting the project on your new PC if you have been using absolute paths.
