title: Is there a way to import old android studio projects and make them work
body: <p>I'm learning flutter dev, and the lessons I'm following are from way back in 2019, and they've got the course resources on github and for each module we have to import them from version control(git), basically what we are importing is an already made project that contains required assets and some lines of code, but after importing the project, trying to run it runs into soooo many errors, like so many, these errors have to do with the version of android studio they were built from, so far, I've been able to go through about 4 modules by manually creating a new project myself and just downloading the assets myself, copying the already-made code and manually adding the image assets for my icon, stuff like that, but it's getting stressful, and I wanted to know if there was a way to import very old android studio projects and somehow migrate them to match the same version of android studio I'm using, I've tried the tutorial on the migration documentation, and so far after migrating(basically playing around with manifest files and mainactivity, I still get the same ole errors, and can't run my project, Question is, how can I migrate old projects properly</p>
