Export an Android project

If you need more control over the build pipeline, you can export a Unity project as a GradleAn Android build system that automates several build processes. This automation means that many common build errors are less likely to occur. More info
See in Glossary project and import that into Android Studio. This is useful if you want more control over the build pipeline, want to see or modify the Android App Manifest that Unity generates for your application, or integrate Unity-powered features into another Android application.

Exporting

To export a Unity project for Android Studio:

1. Open the Build Profiles window. (menu: File > Build Profiles).
2. From the list of platforms in the Platforms panel, select Android or create a build profile for the Android platform.
   Note: If Android is grayed out, set up your project for Android development.
3. Enable Export Project.
4. Click Export.
5. Select the destination folder and click Select Folder to start the export process.

After Unity exports the Gradle project, you can import the Gradle project into Android Studio. For information on how to do this, refer to Migrate to Android Studio. For information on the file structure of the exported Gradle project, refer to Gradle project structure.
