In Android Studio 3.5.3 , the menu Tools->AVD Manager and View->Tools Windows->Logcat is not available when a newly(or existing) flutter project is opened.
I looked at https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/2159 , and
<module type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
is in the outer most iml file.
Please suggest how to find/enable it. For now I have to open an Android project to open these two menu items.
LogCat won't appear for a flutter project and does not seem to be available to enable in the current version of Android Studio. If you open an Android project in another window, THAT window will have LogCat which can be connected to the device you are trying to debug.
AVD Manager does not have a menu item in Flutter but is available from an icon in the toolbar. See picture.
It's also worth checking out DevTools, which opens up in the browser, as an additional (not LogCat) debugging resource. The button to this is found in the Run Window when you are running an app.
There two ways to find or unable it
1. Go to the View-> Tool Windows and you can choose whatever you want to put in Tool WindowBar
2. Go to the View-> And Tick or select on Tool Window Bars
After doing that you can see the logs for particular apps, And for AVD manager...
Go to the Tools-> AVD Manager
I am sort of lost on where to find the Tools Menu in Android Studio.
According to this link https://developer.android.com/studio/run/managing-avds.html, I do not have to run an Android Studio project in order to launch the AVD Manager.
Currently, I am on Android Studio Version 3.0 Beta 6.
I would like some guidance on where the Tools Menu is located in which the link above mentions. Pictures would really help and are much appreciated.
While you do not have to run a project to access the AVD manager, you cannot access it in the welcome screen. You must first create or open a project and then you should be able to find what the link is referring to.
It used to work well.But recently I upgraded my Android Studio to 2.3 and I find the hierarchy viewer disappears.I can't find it both in the sdk/tools directory and the Android Device Monitor.
Latest build tools (25.3.0) removes hierarchy viewer.

"The Layout Inspector available in Android Studio 2.2 is an early release. It's a work in progress that will supersede the Hierarchy Viewer tool once it is feature complete. For now, it provides a quick solution to inspect the view properties of your layout without leaving the IDE. " I find it in http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/layout-inspector.
According to it the Hierarchy Viewer is removed and we should use the layout inspector instead?
You can find it in the Android Studio with path
Tools > Android > Android Device Monitor > Window > Open perspective > Hierarchy View
You can refer this very detail post for more.
I am currently using some libraries (e.b. material design lib) to create apps.
I want to set the minimum SDK to 5.0, but it cannot be done because the version of that library is higher.
My question is how can I know the list of installed/non-installed dependencies(e.g. com.android.support:design) provided by Google in android studio(like SDK manager) or not?
Honestly, I was using the Eclipse IDE for developing android apps, and now I switch to Android Studio. It is difficult to me to use Android Studio. Is there any resources to learn more detailed about the usage of Android Studio?

At first make sure in the left panel Project is selected.
Then right-click on your appropriate project name and select Open Module Settings
There you will see the Dependencies tab that you were searching for. There you will explore the options to add or remove dependencies or shifting them up or down in the easiest way. Hope you will find Android Studio more interesting then Eclipse gradually.

The official android developer site of Google is well enough to learn Android Studio in details. Everything is there. Still you can also go for tutorialspoint tutorial about Android Studio.

I'm following a tutorial on setting up Android Studio and the current version that I'm using (2.1.2) is different than what they are using. I'm in the stand alone SDK manager and it's not in the listed options. Below is a screenshot if that helps.
1.Open Project Structure (Press F4 on your project).
2.Select Modules on the left pane.
3.Choose your project and you will see Dependencies TAB above the third Column.
4.Click on the plus sign in the bottom. Then a tree-based directory chooser dialog will pop up, navigate to your folder containing
android-support-v4.jar, press OK.
5.Press OK.
(a progress bar will appear, and voila it should download what you need)
By the way, you should really install the latest android-sdk update. From your screenshot, it doesn't look like you have yet.
