IMPORTING FROM ANDROID STUDIO INTO ECLIPSE

welcome to raise issue on GitHub.

First, it is easier to create project with Eclipse-ADT, add build.gradle and import into Android Studio by selecting that build.gradle, then other way around.

Single-project

see step 2 below

Multi-project

1. Add .project file into root

    MyApplicationName
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

(you can also use Nodeclipse CLI ) e.g. from froject root C:\Users\username\AndroidStudioProjects\MyApplicationName run nodeclipse -g

Copy that path (e.g. in Android Studio "Copy Path" Ctrl+Shift+C),
in Eclipse File -> Import -> General / Existing Project into workspace

At this point, you don't really need to have ADT. Eclipse is like Viewer, but you already can launch Gradle build , installDebug or run on Device (when you have defined run task)

Further operation you can do within Eclipse

2. For every module (as mobile or wear) do

2.1 Add 2 standard .files for Android project as below (you can get them by creating new project with Eclipse-ADT, only need to change "src" path="src/main/java"):

• .project :

    MyApplicationName-mobile
    
    
    
    
        
            com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ResourceManagerBuilder
            
            
        
        
            com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.PreCompilerBuilder
            
            
        
        
            org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder
            
            
        
        
            com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ApkBuilder
            
            
        
    
    
        com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.AndroidNature
        org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature
    

• .classpath :

_{(source: nodeclipse.org)}

2.2 create OS symbolic links

On Lunix

ln -s src/main/res res
ln -s src/main/AndroidManifest.xml AndroidManifest.xml

On Windows I don't yet know grace way that would work always:

symbolic links on Windows

mklink /D res src/main/res
mklink AndroidManifest.xml src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Windows 7 has mklink util, but it just did not work on my PC.

I found a great Junction util and could do junction res src/main/res, but for link to file is created .lnk file (aka Windows shortcut).

I discovered that Git Bash can execute ln -s src/main/AndroidManifest.xml AndroidManifest.xml but it creates copy, not link.

2.3 Add gen folder

2.4 add project.properties

target=android-15

2.5 Import as existing project

click on mobile , Ctrl+Alt+C
File -> Import -> General / Existing Project into workspace

DONE.

Of course limitations are:

• Eclipse is still using ADT to build
• dependencies added via gradle are not visible to ADT (but jars in libs folder are shared of course)

Good things are:

• you can use more stable Eclipse ADT for developing and debugging
• at the same time you can use and/or experiment with new build system in the same IDE as second one.
