I know there are a lot of answers about this topic but I can't find my problem.

So my problem is I'm working with a friend on an AndroidStudio Project. He made the repository and also made some commits yet. So now I want to add the Project into Android Studio.

The steps how I do that:

Start android > Check out project from Version Control > Git > Then I put in the URL from git > Clone > Then I'm getting a popup "Would you like to create an Android Studio Project" > Yes > Then another Popup > Choose Import project from external model then Android Gradle > Finish

And then Android Studio open a window. The problem is in this window are just .gradle .idea gradle but there is no folder for the source code.

Hope you understand my problem and you can help me.

  • I think you have to check your friend's git ignore file. if your friend add gradle file in ignore file, it is not upload. – S T May 19 '20 at 07:56
  • Just check out the project and open it in Android Studio, don't create a new Android project – MrVasilev May 19 '20 at 07:57
  • I don't create a new project @MrVasilev – id8909 May 19 '20 at 08:03
  • @id8909 but you share this "Then I'm getting a popup "Would you like to create an Android Studio Project" > Yes " which for me looks like you create or import a new project. Try just to open the directory with Android Studio after you checked it out – MrVasilev May 19 '20 at 08:13
  • "Would you like to create an Android Studio Project" > Yes This looks like creating a new project. Did you try to clone/checkout the project on the Git console? This would be the first thing I would do and then open it with your IDE – Hubert Schumacher May 19 '20 at 08:14
  • If I clone it to the desktop for example I get a warning "You appear to have cloned an empty repository" – id8909 May 19 '20 at 08:24
  • @MrVasilev If I don't click create a new project the dialog quits – id8909 May 19 '20 at 08:24
  • I think the easiest solution is: open terminal -> git clone "PROJECT_PATH" -> open android studio -> select THE FOLDER that contains the project. I think before you press open, you are selecting the .gradle file. Try to select the FOLDER. Also, try to verify with your friend if you .gitignore file is not hidden any important folder or file. – rguzman Dec 29 '20 at 12:44

If you have a clone link to the project, follow these steps:

file -> New -> Project from Version Control.

but before following these steps you have to enable your VCS and Configure git.
