Change the sdk location in android studio to the same as eclipse...

To change your Android Studio's SDK location, right click your android project, select "module settings".
in the resulting window, slick on sdk location. you can set the sdk location from the page to the right location.

The SDK location you set here will be used in subsequent projects you create in Android studio.

OR: you can edit the local.properties file present in your project structure.

Hope this helps.

You will have to extract the UI component you want from the kit and use it one by one. Extract a component, place it into the corresponding drawable folder and reference it from the corresponding xml file.

You can use the png files you got from the UI kit a background for your text field. However, if you wish to actually get a more pleasant UI, you have to define a state list drawable using the selector tag and the use the created drawable as the background for your UI element.
