Importing Cordova project to Android Studio

I'm attempting to transfer my project created with cordova over from eclipse to android studio but it's telling me my files are being ignored after import. I've even clicked all of the necessary boxes but am seeing the same result.

enter image description here

It's not just one but it seems like all of my cordova phonegap files (as seen in the picture below). Does anyone have a suggestion on what is happening?

Sorry, but you can't do it. It's impossible to do...

Why? First of all because of language. As I know (prove if I am wrong) in Cordova you used to work with Web technologies, mainly JavaScript.

In Android Studio the main language is Java, not JavaScript. Do not compare these languages - they're a way different. Of course, you can also code in C++,Kotlin, RxJava. For writing tests you can use Python, Groovy or Ruby - but only if you include specific libs in your projects dependencies.

Of course, you need also to notice, that in Cordova you code hybrid mobile apps, whereas in Android Studio thanks to Java native apps.

Another thing is Android Studio build system called Gradle, which I suppose you didn't have.

To resume, you cannot do that. If you want to start developing apps in Android Studio, learn Java. Of course, in your Cordova app you had used some resources like images, fonts. In process of learning programming native apps in Java you would re-used them.

If you're looking for good video course for Learning Android development in Java: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLonJJ3BVjZW6hYgvtkaWvwAVvOFB7fkLa

Check also Coursera and Udacity for more great tuts.

Hope it help and ...good luck!
