Hello. Thanks for the help.
I have practiced creating several programs in Android Studio. Now I am even trying more complicated things.
However there is something very basic which I lack and it is so simple it is usually skipped or not mentioned in any book or tutorial so I am asking it directly here.
How can I load a project (built by another person) succesfuly using Android Studio?
to understand my dilemma, a more concrete question. Say for example the following site
https://github.com/apress/android-recipes-2ed
These are the code examples for the book Android Recipes 2nd Edition. The book was written when everybody used Eclipse.
So say for example I want to load with Android Studio, for instance Recipe 4-1. How do I do this?
Or another example say:
https://github.com/apress/android-recipes-5ed
Now this is the code for the 5th edition (book I don't have, so I don't know if it was for Eclipse or A S, but since it is from the 2016 let's suppose it is for Studio). How do you load project 4-1 for example in Adnroid Studio?
I ve tried several ways without success. It always says there is something wrong with the gradle file and therefore can not load well.
Can someone explain me in detail how to load a project (either for Eclipse or Android Studio) in A S, sucessfully so that I can run it?
Thanks a lot
P.S. So far what I am doing is building new applications from scratch and then copy pasting the code (with some changes when required)
