How to publish an Android app from Android-Studio using a Keystore file generated in Eclipse?

I have already published my App in Google-Play two years ago. At that time, I was using Eclipse to generate the keystore file (which is then kept save for future APKs generation) to export my App.

Now, I want to migrate to Android-Studio, mainly because it is much simpler to work with Git and Veriosn-Control.

Before migrating though, I want to make sure that I can continue creating new versions of the APK each time I want to update the App online in Google-play using Android-Studio.

I just want to ask if is it possible ?! and if the answer is 'Yes', how can I export my app from Android-Studio using the 'keystore' file I was using before for exporting the app from Eclipse ?!

What matters here is keystore file only. If you keep the keystore file you used with Eclipse then all you need to do is keep using it with Android Studio as keystore is pure Java thing and is IDE independent (in fact IDEs are just using the keystore but you can also play with them using keytool alone). And in fact you must use the same key for further updates of your Play Store released apps otherwise you will not be able to publish them.
