java - Problems importing project into Android Studio regarding ActionBarSherlock

Question

Is anyone else having problems importing a project with ActionBarSherlock? I have a total of 100 errors and 17 warnings. This worked perfectly in Eclipse. I followed the steps to create a Gradle build file. There were no import errors until I tried to build the Project.

I also tried re-downloading ABS fresh and replace into my project.

Were there known issues with ABS and IntelliJ? (which of course Android Studio is now based)

Here are a few errors I'm seeing:

        java: ...
        Workspace/ActionBarSherlock/src/com/actionbarsherlock/app/SherlockFragment.java:4: cannot find symbol
        symbol  : class Fragment
        location: package android.support.v4.app

        java: ...  Workspace/ActionBarSherlock/src/com/actionbarsherlock/app/SherlockListFragment.java:4: cannot find symbol
        symbol  : class ListFragment
        location: package android.support.v4.app

        java: ...
        Workspace/ActionBarSherlock/src/com/actionbarsherlock/widget/SuggestionsAdapter.java:33:
        package android.support.v4.widget does not exist

Any help really appreciated

Edit: Seems there are no issues using Standard IntelliJ IDEA. Many guides online for setting it up with ABS. Also as Jake mentioned, he's actually been developing the thing in IntelliJ

Here is an example guide: http://android-wtf.com/2012/09/how-to-configure-actionbarsherlock-with-intellij-idea/

However, I'm still unsure why its not working in Android Studio

Edit2: solution in answer below. In Short: (I downloaded abs latest version, extracted, deleted the old version of abs from my project, then file > import module... to import actionbarsherlock directory into my existing project. Nb, in my particular case I had an issue with junit compilation error and needed to delete estjunit )

Answer 1

Seems there's a lot of general issues on importing modules to Android Studio, not just ActionBarSherlock, this answer might also address those. (However the last steps relating to junit are particular to abs)

The steps below allowed me to get ActionBarSherlock running with no issues.

1) Download latest ABS here: http://actionbarsherlock.com/

2) Extract ABS you should have a directory in there called "actionbarsherlock". Copy that to your Android Studio workspace. and rename to ActionBarSherlock (changed casing) -- > I now have my Android Studio Projects under *documents*Android Workspace As opposed to Eclipse Workspace

So you should now have something like :

*documents*Android WorkspaceActionBarSherlock

Along with your main project maybe:

*documents*Android WorkspaceTestProject

3) Open Android Studio load your TestProject then goto File> Import Module... Now navigate to ActionBarSherlock under *documents*Android WorkspaceActionBarSherlock Click Ok and next all the way to finish. It will ask if you want to set a dependancy to the new Module (or at least mine did) click OK

4) at this point when compiling I was getting errors in ActionBarSherlockest complaining about Junit. I simply deleted the Test directory from my ABS Module under project view. Right click est > Delete.... You could also include the junit jar file but I don't think its necessary

5) you should now be able to compile without errors

Hopefully that helps someone.

Essentially though, I needed to re-download a completely fresh ABS, expunge my old project's ABS (which was probably quite old) then Import Module...
