Importing Projects into Android Studio ??

Can someone explain the best way to import/open projects in Android Studio? I've been trying to import a few apps from GitHub but I've been running into all sorts of errors. For example, I was recently trying to open the completed "Build a Weather App" and it said my Gradle was outdated so I updated to the latest Android studio but I'm still having all sorts of Gradle issues. The layout of the files in the project pane (on the left) are different than if I created a new project, is there a secret to just moving files around so the app works? And now that I've upgraded to the new Android Studio, it appears to giving me issues with opening older apps. I've even tried copying and pasting all the code file by file into a new app but that led me to all sorts of headaches with trying to fix the file paths, imports, etc.

I feel like this should be very simple to do, am I overlooking something?

Thanks in advance.
