My Android Studio project is successfully built and works fine on phone. However, I'm not able to import the module into a subversion repository easily. The problem is that:

I don't know how to add the list of files to ignore. I have looked into some of the questions already asked here, such as this and this and all the linked questions from them. However most of them are talking about .gitignore. So, far I have tried all of the following:

  1. Created a .gitignore file with list of files to ignore
  2. Added entries under Android Studio > Preferences > Version Control > Ignored Files

In every case, I mentioned bin, built and gen folders among others. None of the above has worked as every time I start importing, at some point it starts importing the files I want to ignore. Since no file is ignored the import process lasts insanely long. Eclipse was far better with this respect. I have never looked into ignore files at all!

I'm using Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

.gitignore is for git -- an alternate and possibly more powerful source control tool. I've used both and I'd highly recommend moving to git if possible.

Otherwise you will be stuck using the propset in svn:

Equivalent of ".gitignore" file with Subversion
