I'm trying to clone a project from BitBucket to my Android Studio. Finally it ends up with the error .iml file does not exist. What am I doing wrong?

Edit:- Once project is loaded from my repo, it says Error loading project. Two modules can not be loaded, those two modules are .iml files.

I did not delete those files. They can not be loaded from my repository. – Chico 30/1, 2016 at 15:41

Well, I got it solved. After cloning the project, just reopen it. If you have cloned project to D:\Android folder, in Studio, File>Open and open that project, it works. have no idea why and how. – Chico 1/2, 2016 at 6:15

It happened to me when I open my app from Android Studio's "Open Recent" option after cloning from my repository. Just close the app and re-open from "Open" option. It worked for me.

Don't forget to save your current .idea folder first, since deleting it and regenerating it will remove all of you local configuration such as custom linting scoops, run configuration, code style etc. Then add the missing files and/or replace the newly regenerated workspace.xml. – Bertold 22/2, 2022 at 9:11

I have solved this issue in android studio by following steps -

 1. Close Android Studio 
 2. Go to my app codebase directory
 3. Delete the .idea folder
 4. Start the Android studio again.

It's working like wow.

In my case, it didn't work to download my repository again, I had to update Android Studio from 3.3 to 3.4.

I don't know if it's an isolated case or if someone else can solve this problem in the same way.

In .idea folder delete modules.xml and restart Android Studio.

This will resolve the error by regenerating and linking the files again.

Go to Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Gradle > check generate *.iml files for modules imported from gradle. After change settings, resync project, iml files will be generated.
