How to use downloaded patch file of android studio again?

I was downloading an update for android studio. After the download was finished, there was some issue and the patch was not applied. Is there a way to use that downloaded file again? I don't want to download again because it will take a lot of time.
PS I'm using ubuntu.
To solve the “failed to apply patch” Android Studio problem you can follow these steps:
Move the Android SDK folder out of the Android Studio folder (quit Android Studio first).
Redo the Android Studio update process.
Once the update is complete, you will be prompted to enter the new location of the Android SDK.
If these steps do not work for you, update your Java runtime engine (JRE) and development kit (JDK) to the latest version. Alternatively, you could also just download the latest Android Studio build, install it (after renaming the folder of the previous build), and import your projects from the old buggy build.

Upgraded to Android Studio 1.5.0, then 1.5.1 and can no longer create a project

I'm doing a bit of Android dev on the side, so I'm no gradle expert. Just trying to create a project for Android 4.0.3+. This used to work before upgrading to Studio 1.5. Any ideas how to get this setup so can make projects again? I have no idea what appcompat-v7.15+ is or what to install so it can find it.

Android Studio remove appcompact-v7 library

Hi in my project Iam using
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.0'
for support library I don't want to use appcompat-v7 and mediarouter but they are getting generated under /exploded-aar/com.android.support.
My project was originally made for Ant build system and after I imported it in Android Studio it's been built for Gradle and it was working till I updated SDK (by mistake) and now I can't build project because of conflicts.
I tried to remove it from app.iml
<orderEntry type="library" exported="" name="appcompat-v7-22.2.0" level="project" />
But after I clean and rebuild project it's back again

How to import a android project into android studio?

I want to study the source code of android-smspopup .But when I download the source code and import this into android studio, the android studio pop up a dialog with a title"Import Gradle Project" and a blank to fill named Gradle home. Does any one know why this happens? And what to fill in Gradle home?
The source code doesn't include the Gradle wrapper files, which it should; the Gradle wrapper is responsible for automatically downloading the correct version of Gradle so you don't have to go through this trouble. I would recommend that you copy the Gradle wrapper over from another project into this source tree and use it. In another project that you've created with the New Project wizard, copy these files to the root directory of the project:
gradlew
gradlew.bat
gradle (directory)
When you open up the project in Android Studio it's likely to complain about the version of the Android Gradle plugin and offer to fix it for you; let it do that. If you're running the latest version of Android Studio (0.4.6 as of this writing), it's fairly smart about getting the versions of Gradle and the plug-in right, but in older versions it could get a little confused and have to ask you multiple times.
NOTE: instead of copying the wrapper files over, you can instead install a compatible version of Gradle and put the installation directory in when it asks for Gradle home. That will work, but be aware that Android Studio is very finicky about what version of Gradle it's compatible with; usually it requires a specific version that isn't forward-compatible, so for example, if it wants 1.10, 1.11 won't work. As you upgrade Android Studio you'll have to upgrade Gradle as well and it will be a bit of a drag; if you use the wrapper it's easier to make that change.
By the time Android Studio hits 1.0, it will sort out the version issues with Gradle, and it won't be so picky about version numbers, but in the short term, it's a limitation.

Migrate project to Gradle

I've got a project that used to be in Eclipse. I've since moved it from there into Android Studio, though it's not using the Gradle build system yet.
I've setup my gradle files so that I can do gradlew build from the command-line and it will generate an APK for me.
My question now is how do I get Android studio to build using the gradle files that I've got setup instead of the using the "old" way?
For what it's worth, I'm on Windows 7.
Not sure how you are compiling the project with Android Studio without actually using Gradle because AFAIK Android Studio always uses Gradle under the hoods to build sources.
Anyway, if you have your Gradle config file ready you only have to import it to a new project in Android Studio (File > Import Project... and then select the build.gradle or settings.gradle)
