How To Migrate A Project To Another Machine

I want to migrate an Android project developed in Android Studio from one machine to another machine so I can continue working. I tried to copy the project directory to the target

Solution 1:

So how this can be done?

Copy the project directory.

I usually clean out the bits that wouldn't go into version control (e.g., build/, *.iml, .gradle/, .idea/) before importing the copied directory into Android Studio.

Solution 2:

Usually this problem occurs, only when you try to load the project for first time. Instead of an android project, it considers to be just a directory.

However, I found a way around, which can fix this issue.

1. Copy the project directory to target Machine.

2. From Android Studio, go to File->Open; Browse the project directory.

3. Expand the project directory and open build.gradle. It will complete the required set up automatically and load the project.

4. Next time, when you will open the project, it will consider it an Android Project.
