Importing the Project In IntelliJ IDEA, you can choose to open the build.gradle file and select “Open as Project” to get started.

In Eclipse, choose File -> Import... -> Gradle -> Existing Gradle Project (make sure that your freshly generated project is not located inside of your workspace).

You may need to refresh the Gradle project after the initial import, if some dependencies weren’t downloaded yet. In IntelliJ IDEA, the Reimport all Gradle projects button is a pair of circling arrows in the Gradle tool window, which can be opened with View -> Tool Windows -> Gradle.

In Eclipse right click on your project Gradle -> Refresh Gradle Project.
