do not download zip just clone, run make bootstrap.

from android-oss.

Ok so issue solved: if you download as a zip, make sure you have git installed and once in the project directory, you can just do "git init" and then "make bootrap". Then close android studio if it's open, then you can open the project again and run it normally.

If you didn't donwload as a zip, make sure you run "make bootstrap" before opening the app within android studio.
