How to import correctly an android app?

Question

I have some apps in eclipse and I exported my apps, but when I import all apps again, and when I import it, I have 1 error in Androidmanifest.xml (for the package name) and the code has not appeared. I have not updated my SDK manager. Could that be the problem?

I tried to put the project name in the manifest, and I don't get more errors in it, but when I export, it doesn't save all my information/configuration.

I was having a similar problem. I am a novice to android studio and to creating android apps. I downloaded sample apps from the android site but could not get it to run inside of android studio. What I was doing was allowing the android studio ADT to convert the project. This was a mistake. I ended up importing the project but not allowing the ADT to migrate any part of the unzipped project file. Once I did this the ability to run the apps was there and I just had to link the dependencies via the project structure option under File in the top toolbar and then worked out minor issues that were mentioned in the console of the log. This is probably a different issue than what is discussed here but it does relate to the importing and running of android apps.
