I installed new Android Studio 0.1.1 based on IDEA ide and tried Import code from Eclipse. Go to Eclipse->Export->Grandle so it add gradle file Open Android Studio and select Import Project and select my project folder with build.gradle file Press Finish and get an Error: failed to find target android-15 (this is was parget of my project) I go to system variables and change to %ANDROID_HOME% = d:\dev\android\android-studio\sdk\ (remove platform-tools from path) And get new error: failed to find Build Tools revision 15.0.0 Also create another New Project and change Android SDK for it, but I still cant import project I explore this problem and find the weak point: in file build.gradle I change next lines: from compileSdkVersion 15 to compileSdkVersion " 17 " from buildToolsVersion " 15 " to buildToolsVersion " 17 " And it fix my problem with project import. I think it's problem in Eclipse export function. Build tools starts only from version 17 (in ADT 22), so it's imposible to find version 15.

Import project in Android Studio from Eclipse

I installed new Android Studio 0.1.1 based on IDEA ide and tried Import code from Eclipse.

Go to Eclipse->Export->Grandle so it add gradle file
Open Android Studio and select Import Project and select my project folder with build.gradle file
Press Finish and get an Error: failed to find target android-15 (this is was parget of my project)
I go to system variables and change to %ANDROID_HOME% = d:\dev\android\android-studio\sdk\ (remove platform-tools from path)
And get new error: failed to find Build Tools revision 15.0.0
Also create another New Project and change Android SDK for it, but I still cant import project

I explore this problem and find the weak point: in file build.gradle I change next lines:

from compileSdkVersion 15 to compileSdkVersion "17"
from buildToolsVersion "15" to buildToolsVersion "17"

And it fix my problem with project import. I think it's problem in Eclipse export function. Build tools starts only from version 17 (in ADT 22), so it's imposible to find version 15.

In the file build.gradle change your compileSdkVersion to your current version. For me it is 23. Your buildToolsVersion would be the same number. Hence the only thing I had to do was

Change CompileSdkVersion 15 to CompileSdkVersion 23 in the build.gradle

I simply solved the problem by changing the project build target (Project properties->Android->Project Build Target).

Had the same problem when Android studio 0.2.9 on mac and importing an old eclipse project:

By default, it uses /Applications/Android Studio.app/sdk as the android sdk location, instead of whatever you used to use.

On a per-project basis, you can go to the menu's File->Project Structure (command-;) and on the left you can change the project's sdk location.

To handle all projects (new or imported), before opening anything at the start screen click configure -> Project Defaults -> Project Structure -> (on the left) Android SDK to do the same. (re: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18409923/954643)

If you were starting from scratch without any android sdk setup and eclipse though, you'd have to download the missing SDKs via Tools->Android->SDK Manager.

For general 'import project' info, search for the word 'import' on this install-guide document for Android Studio:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html

EDIT: I've recently learned to use the 'import' dialog, so that I can import projects from GitHub, which is very cool! (I first watched a tutorial on YouTube titled 'git and github'). Then I learned that one needs to use 'git' to "Clone" an entire GitHub repository (to bring a dir-tree full of separate projects to your development machine). Then, you can navigate into that sub-tree, to a given project of interest, and then use Android Studio's 'import' dialog to play with that example project.
WOW, NEAT!

Hope this helps...

These simple steps worked for me:

Open new project (new not import)
Press F4
On the left Click on SDKs
Delete all SDKs
Click on +
Choose the SDK you are using for eclipse
Choose the right version
Click OK
Open your project using gradle file

enter image description here Enjoy :)

Had same problem, now works. I did this:

Open android studio:

Tools -> android -> SDK manager then install the android 4.0.3 (API 15) and done.

It worked for me.

From the quick start window, choose Configure, then choose Project Defaults, and then choose Project Structure. Then on the left under Platform Settings choose SDKs. Then to the right of that choose the current android platform, mine was Android 4.2.2 Platform, and delete it using the red minus button at the top, then add a new android platform using the green plus button at the top and point it to your current SDK folder and that is it.

Update your android APIs using Android SDK Manager.It seems you have installed API lower than level 15.

Update SDK go to config settings, project settings then you will see SDK that isn't correct point to same place eclipse points to for SDK. Worked for me.

Also it might help to reexport the project with new sdk
