I recently downloaded the file on this link http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/android/core/ui/gridview/android-gridview-example/ Its an android project but I am not sure how to open the entire project and work on it. Is there a way to open the whole thing without having to open each part seperately? I tried to import also but I cant find its destination on the import window on android studio

You can use the option Import existing project in your IDE. I checked the rar file and it is possible that way.

1You can just import the whole folder. Also you should use Android Studio if you are not already. – Murat Karagöz Jan 24 '15 at 11:39

I tried importing the entire project, but when i open the import a project window, it doesnt even show me that folder. – mahmoud ahmed Jan 24 '15 at 11:53

That is a common bug. You can paste the path to your folder manually. – Murat Karagöz Jan 24 '15 at 12:17

Extract the zip you just downloaded and import that folder :
File > New > Import Project
On Android-Studio, If you can't find the destination on the import window, create a folder in your workspace and manually set the destination to that folder on the import window. And if you can't find the folder you just created in the "Choose destination directory" dialog window, click the refresh button in the dialog's toolbar

Easy to do when you're starting up with the "Welcome to Android" screen, with a list of options - Import, Open, Import Eclipse Project etc...See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21181847/how-to-force-android-studio-to-start-with-the-welcome-screen on how to get to that screen. – CHarris Mar 26 '16 at 01:35
