How do you open an Android Studio project in Eclipse?

You cannot import the project directly but it’s not to hard to achieve it:

  • Create a new Android empty project in eclipse
  • Overwrite the fresh res/ folder and the AndroidManifest.xml file, with the ones from the Android Studio project
  • Copy the content of the java/ folder from the Android Studio project (it should contain your package name folder structure, like com/example/app/, and the java files of course) in the Eclipse src folder
  • Link your needed libraries if it’s the case

Basically the Android application fundamental elements are the java files, the manifest file and the resources. From there you can build back a project in your favorite IDE
