Apparently  there s a lot of  dead wood  in the  build  directories of a project   Under linux unix  a simple way to get a clean  private backup is to use the  tar  command along with the  --exclude String  option   For example  to create an archive of all my apps while excluding the build directories  I have a script that creates the following 2 commands    cd  HOME android Studio tar cvf MyBackup-2017-07-13 tar Projects --exclude build

As mentioned by other answers  as of now android studio does not provide this out of the box  However  there are ways to do this easily   As mentioned by  Elad Lavi  you should consider cloud hosting of your source code  Checkout github  bitbucket  gitlab  etc  All these provide private repositories  some free  some not   If all you want is to just zip the sources  you can achieve this using git s git archive  Here are the steps   git init         on the root of the project folder git add          note  android studio already created  gitignore git commit -m  ready to zip sources  git archive HEAD --format zip  gt   tmp archive zip   Note  If you intend to send this by email  you have to remove gradlew bat from zip file   Both these solutions are possible thanks to VCS like git

In the Android Studio go to File then Close Project  Then take the folder  in the workspace folder  of the project and copy it to a flash memory or whatever  Then when you get comfortable at home  copy this folder in the workspace folder you ve already created  open the Android Studio and go to File then Open and import this project into your workspace   The problem you have with this is that you re searching for the wrong term here  because in Android  exporting a project means compiling it to  apk file  not exporting the project   Import Export is used for the  apk management  what you need is Open Close project  the other thing is just copy paste

It seems as if Android Studio is missing some features Eclipse has  which is surprising considering the choice to make Android Studio official IDE    Eclipse had the ability to export zip files which could be sent over email for example  If you zip the folder from your workspace  and try to send it over Gmail for example  Gmail will refuse because the folder contains executable  Obviously you can delete files but that is inefficient if you do that frequently going back and forth from work   Here s a solution though  You can use source control  Android Studio supports that  Your code will be stored online  A git will do the trick  Look under  VCS  in the top menu in Android Studio  It has many other benefits as well  One of the downsides though  is that if you use GitHub for free  your code is open source and everyone can see it
