[android-developers] Migrating to Android Studio
I have been developing a large project for a long time now and am nearly at the point of wanting to release it. However, I have seen that the official IDE is no longer Eclipse but Android Studio. In addition, I have seen a number of discussions passing by where people are complaining about bugs within Studio. Is Studio really in a production stable state yet ? So, my obvious question here is - should I be migrating to Studio *now* ? If so, are there any accurate guides for doing this ? I have seen the, very, succinct description on the developers site which appears to skip certain steps. For example, it says to import the project .gradle file - without explaining how to generate this file ! Hopefully someone will be patient enough to help me with this ... please ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Migrating to Android Studio
Here's some more information on migration: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/migrating-from-eclipse-projects As you can see if you're really migrating to Android Studio it's better to import in Android Studio than to export from Eclipse. But if you plan to continue working with both (e.g. other members on a team), exporting will create a build.gradle file which preserves the Eclipse file layout.

You should probably have migrated months ago. But at this point, do you need to migrate this second? No. If Eclipse is working for you and you're about to release, why complicate things with a new environment? I'd get that release out the door, back up everything, create a new branch in your repo, and start the process there. If so, are there any accurate guides for doing this ?

I assume you're referring to this: https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/migrate.html, where in step 3 it says Locate the project you exported from Eclipse. So, while it's not 100% explicit, it is indicating that you should have done an export from Ecipse. Did you try that? Personally I found that transition fairly smooth. You don't even have to export Eclipse first anymore. Just do an import in Android Studio and it will detect the Eclipse project structure and import it for you.

Re: [android-developers] Migrating to Android Studio
This is great - first class answer ! Thanks for reassuring me about this move - which I will indeed undertake after my first release.

[android-developers] How to display action bar in navigation with list activity
Hi, I am trying to display action bar in the list activity (launcher activity) in my android app using Lollipop with min version as 14. Do I need to use merge or include feature to display action bar along with List Activity? The action bar stays through out all other activities and is used for navigation.
