Android Studio No "Import Sample" in the File menu

Question

Why doesn’t Android Studio show the import selection option in the “File” menu even if I downloaded the sample projects to my disk?

I have Android Studio 2.2.2 with the correct sdk path.

This is mistake? or??

Answer 1

You should go to File → New → Import Sample.

Answer 2

As a workaround, you can import samples ( for example, examples here ) from Git with the file → Create → Project from version control → git

Answer 3

Have you checked the Google Developer Sample plugin option? In my case, this option was not active.

Settings → Plugins → Google Developer Examples.

After checking this option, I can finally import the sample project.

Answer 4

To see this menu option: File → New → Import Example

you need to enable: Settings → Plugins → Google Virtual Tools for Android Studio

Answer 5

If you are looking for an example for a specific programming problem, you can right-click on some code, for example. viewpager and select:

find a sample code,

A window appears below with an example of the same design. Now you can double-click and open a browser and bring git to this server. From there you can download.

Before you had to look through examples to find a specific example of your problem, you can now search. This could be an advantage.
