This is the original...

https://github.com/gdg-hudson-valley/android-samples

We imported and built Android Developers Samples to run on Android 
Studio (currently at v0.8.9). Doing this required the following 
changes after the relevant's project zipfile was downloaded from its 
specific page on the samples site.

First, in the build.gradle file,

    change classpath to'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.2'
    change buildToolsVersion to "20.0.0"
    change plugin to 'com.android.application' (from 'android')
    change 'com.android.support:' dependencies to remove "+" 
versions (replace with 20.0.0)

Next,

    import the project into Android Studio (File->Import Project)
    rebuild it (automatically, or manually using Project->Rebuild).
    if build errors occur, try 'File->Invalidate Caches/Restart', 
then rebuild

Finally,

    verify project build by running the application in an emulator, 
or on a connected Android Device.

Optionally,

    Set ".gitignore" to prevent compile/build/IDE artifacts being 
stored needlessly in version control.
    For reference: This repo uses a .gitignore file based on this 
StackOverflow post.
