Gradle: Project "x" not found in root project "myProject"

Question

Having upgraded to Android Studio from Eclipse I wanted to update my TouchDB library which is now Coubasebase-lite-android. I removed TouchDB from my project, git cloned couchbase-lite-android added to my project in Android Studio via File -> Import Module.

Everything looks good in the IDE and all the references look good. But when I try and compile it I receive the error in Android Studio: Gradle: Project "x" not found in root project "myProject" "x" being each module(?) inside couchbaselite...i.e CBLite, CBLiteEktrop etc

I really don't know where to start with this one?

Here's my project tree:

myProject
---myProject
---CouchbaseLiteProject
------CBLite
------CBLiteEktorp
------Gradle
------.Gradle
------gradlew
------CouchbaseLiteProject
---------build
---------libs
---------src

here's the contents of gradlew from CouchBaseLiteProject:

` There is no gradlew file under myProject as it was originally a Eclipse project

update following on from buzeeg's advice and not being able to export my project from Eclipse to generate the gradle files I decided to create a new project in Android Studio and manually copy my original project files into it, so Android Studio would create the gradle files for me.

After importing couchbase-lite-android as a module and trying to build the project I get exactly the same errors as I originally encountered. Gradle: Project "x" not found in root project "myProject" "x" relating to all the sub modules (?) under the CouchbaseLiteProject tree...

You need to migrate your Eclipse project in order to have a build file (build.gradle) Migrating from Eclipse :

1. Update your Eclipse ADT Plugin (you must have version 22.0 or higher).
2. In Eclipse, select File > Export.
3. In the window that appears, open Android and select Generate Gradle build files.
4. Select the project you want to export for Android Studio and click Finish.

Your selected project remains in the same location but now contains a build.gradle file and is ready for Android Studio.

Then, Android Studio will be able to build your project using this build.gradle file.
