Export from Eclipse

1.Update your Eclipse ADT Plugin (you must have version 22.0 or higher).

2.In Eclipse, select File > Export.

3.In the window that appears, open Android and select Generate Gradle build files.

4.Select the projects you want to export for Android Studio and click Finish.

Your selected projects remain in the same location but now contain a build.gradle file and are ready for Android Studio.

Import into Android Studio

1.In Android Studio, select File > Import Project.

2.Locate a project you exported from Eclipse, select the project's root directory and click OK.

3.Select Create project from existing sources and click Next.

4.Follow the walk-through to complete the import process.

    What If some has uploaded a project on the internet 2 years ago for a tutorial purpose that was developed in eclipse for Android 2.3 . Now tell me how do I import that project. – Srinivasan N Feb 23 '15 at 10:05
  • This advice helped to me. In other cases (only import to Android Studio) empty projects were created. – CoolMind May 20 '16 at 13:42

The official release of Android Studio (version 1.0.2 at the time of this writing) now supports importing ADT projects directly. In fact, when trying to export from ADT, there is now a popup that suggests importing directly from Android Studio is a better choice.

Just open Android Studio > Import Non-Android Studio Projects > Select your ADT project folder.

It creates a new AS-version of your project, and reports items that need your manual verification.

Forget the import, just hand build it.

After trying and failing to import the project I did the following hand-import. I gained trust that the export / import procedure didn't leave behind any problems and I gained knowledge of the new build system:

  1. In Android studio create a new blank project
  2. Build it out to device to trust that it is working
  3. Slowly a bit at a time add in your previous code, leaving behind anything specific to the old build system

It is a slow process but the debugging is much more focused on your actual code rather than trying to figure out "what the import actually did".

you may get the answer in this link link

To import an existing Android app project, click Import Project.

Note: If you previously developed your Android project with Eclipse, you should first use the new export feature in the ADT plugin to prepare your project with the new Gradle build system.
