ANDROID STUDIO - how to back up a project
How to back up a project in ANDROID STUDIO. I tried to just copy the project folder, but I had problems building the project. My application is not working properly.
build.gradle
files:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 22
buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.ss.new_my_wid"
minSdkVersion 19
targetSdkVersion 22
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0'
}

In your Android Studio go to the File menu and select Export to Zip File. In case your backup process doesn't work, just add the missing ones depends. That's it ... enter image description here

Just wondering how I tried this myself. This is how I decided to work with it.
FOR BACKUP
1./Create a new folder in your Android Studio projects folder called "Backups" (optional, but easier to navigate when it comes to unpacking and extracting, however you can also put backups to an external drive for obvious reasons)
2./Click "File"> "Export to Zip File"
2b / If step 1, double click the "! Backups" folder
2c / choose a suitable backup name (ProjectYYMMDD?)
2d / OK
RECOVERY
1./Find a folder using Windows Explorer ... C: \> Users> {yourDeviceName}> Android Studio Projects> "! Backups" ... (I keep a shortcut to Android Studio projects) on my desktop to do this easier)
2./Right click the project> Extract All
2b / Remove the last part of the path (/ ProjectYYMMDD)
2c / Extract
2d / Rename the extracted folder to the desired project name
2e / Drag folder from backups to AndroidStudioProjects folder
USE
1./Open Android Studio - Open an existing studio project
2./C: \> Users> {yourDeviceName}> Android Studio Projects
3./Select the recovered project folder and open The icon will be different but change to normal once it is a built project according to android studio site
It worked when I tested it, so should work for everyone. If not, please forgive me, I'm brand new in all this 😊

Android Studio 3.5
Original project: JetFighter001
Menu: File / Export to Zip File Change the name of the Zip file to JetFighter002.
Unzip the file.
Close the Jetfighter001 project in AndroidStudio.
Welcome to Android Studio will appear on the screen.
Click "Import Project (Gradle, Eclipse ADT, etc.)"
Select the unzipped Jetfighter002 directory.
It all worked!
I used before "Open existing project" but didn't work well.
