import project from git is missing manifest file

Question

I have a project in bitbucket that I imported from git. But I get the following error that says my manifest file is not found:

enter image description here

But this is very puzzling since the manifest file is right there under the res directory.

Can someone please explain what is wrong here?

UPDATE:

When I imported the projected it said it failed to load the app.iml module and c4k.iml module. Does this have any importance?

I always try **not** to use the IDE. Simple `git clone` the repo and then `import project -> select the build.gradle`. — Jared Burrows, May 20 '15 at 18:38

Manifest should not go in res/ directory but in the root of the project. — m0skit0, May 20 '15 at 19:01

I always try not to use the IDE. So try using the command line.

Simply git clone <repo> the repo
Then, in Intellij/Android Studio, File -> Import Project -> Select the build.gradle

Really? A down vote? At least explain why or give a better answer. – Jared Burrows Jun 17 '15 at 20:18

Alt + F12 to open the console in android studio.
OR open the console app (cmd on Windows, terminal on OS X, shell on Linux)
git clone <here paste the repo URL from the GitHub page >
Import by instruction in the other answer.
