title: How to import an Android Studio project from android.googlesource.com?
body: <p>I'm trying to open the DeskClockApp (<a href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/DeskClock/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/DeskClock/</a>) in my version of Android Studio. However, since no gradle files are downloaded, Android Studio is struggling to see the project as an Android-Gradle app.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried downloading the source code as a zip, importing it as Git from Android Studio's VCS, etc. The online repository doesn't have the gradle files b/c the developer added a gitignore for gradle (makes sense). I also considered adding the gradle files myself but the project structure seems to be slightly different than the structure defined online. When I first import that project it says Android Framework detected, however, on configuring it for Android it cannot find any module to run, or even display the correct files (in the Project view). Is there any way to generate the correct gradle files for this? Maybe run it without gradle?</p>
