How to open projects in Android Studio?

I downloaded several projects ready for study purposes in Android Studio. They are projects like calculator, calendar, etc. But I can’t open them in Android Studio in the way I think is correct. I can open separate files, such as xml... but I don’t know how to open the whole project.

In short, there is some way to open the downloaded project as we do, for example, in Visual Studio when running the file . sln?

Simple as it may be, I searched hard and tried on my own several times, without success.

Thank you very much!

    Although the issue is off-topic, I will try to give you a hint, I do not use Androidstudio, but I believe it is similar to Eclipse, after installing Androidstudio, in the folder "Documents" (on Windows) or user folder (on like-Unix systems would be something like /home/user/) look for a folder called "Androidprojects" paste the folders of the projects extracted inside that folder, a project should look something like ./AndroidProjects/exemplo/ inside this folder should have files like AndroidManifest.xml, then when opening Androidstudio it is possible that the "example" project is listed.

    Even though we don’t think it’s outside the scope, since we don’t have the hope of a SUpt, here is my answer: in the same way that Guilherme explained, as in Eclipse, it is not necessary a single file that says which project and regardless of which directory your project is, if in Android Studio you go to "Open an existing Android Studio projet", just point to the root since you downloaded it (the one that has the files from properties, iml, directories app, build etc). In this case, the file manifest doesn’t stay here.

  • To open the project if it already refers to an Android Studio project just go to "Open.." and select the project. Even the icon is in the format of the AS logo. Probably some errors will appear due to issue of versions, but just go clicking on the errors and asking AS pro to go solving (downloading and installing).
