I created my Flutter project by typing into my CLI Flutter create project_name and all this time I've been coding using VScode, and the project is near completion, which means I have to do a software demo in the coming days to my professors in university. However, I would need to open multiple android emulators that will run the same project, based on my brief research and testing, VScode does not allow running multiple android emulators that run the same project. So I have to transfer that project from VScode to Android Studio.
I've tried simply opening my Flutter folder in Android Studio and I'm getting gradle build errors. Any help would be appreciated thank you!
As long as you have the Flutter plugin installed in Android Studio, you can just open the folder like any other.
Though FWIW, I don't know if Android Studio supports debugging on multiple devices at the same time. It does work in VS Code (as shown at Flutter Interact with the "Flutter Octopus") if you're on the master channel (see https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Multi-device-debugging-in-VS-Code).
I got a flutter project to complete from my friend.
I am using Android Studio(AS) as editor. I have installed flutter and dart plugins in AS. Now, I have imported the flutter project by selecting option at start of AS import AS project. Then it I don't know why it shown me error message to setup Dart SDK(Q1: my first question is why it is giving error I already have dart plugin). Somehow I managed to get Dart from this link and gave path to till dart-sdk folder as seen in screenshot
And now I am stuck on this error:
Because xxo_tag_xxxls depends on flutter_test any from sdk which doesn't exist (the Flutter SDK is not available), version solving failed.
Flutter users should run flutter packages get instead of pub get.
you should configure in addition to the Dart language SDK, pointing to the Flutter SDK ('C:\src\flutter') within your Andoid Studio project. Go to the top menu 'Tools > Flutter > Flutter Clean' and the IDE will ask you to configure what is missing.
in mac if you are using android studio, go to android studio at the top left, preferences, flutter, then add path to sdk
you have to configure in addition to the Dart language SDK, pointing to the Flutter SDK ('C:\src\flutter') within your Andoid Studio project. Go to the top menu 'Tools > Flutter >flutter package get and click on it ,it will find the things those are missing.
I'm having a problem understanding how to configure a Flutter project in Android Studio. I've done all the Flutter/Dart install steps and I can successfully build Flutter projects. My problem is setting the project so the Project View window in Android Studio sees my projects as Flutter projects and not an Android project. For example, here's a screenshot of a Flutter project I created:
Android Studio Project View Java folder
Notice the Java "coffee cup" on the flutter_app folder and the "[flutter_app_android]" on the android folder. Here's an example of a Flutter project that seems to correctly be identified as a Flutter project in Android Studio:
Android Studio Project View Flutter folder
I've tried creating new Flutter projects in Android Studio and by the flutter create command line. This is driving me nuts and is probably something trivial but I can't find the setting that makes my project recognized as a Flutter project.
Actually I typically use the project view as you have shown in your first image. The Flutter code is in the lib folder. Being able to see the 'android' and 'ios' folders can be helpful if you need to configure something specific like Firebase Cloud Messaging or you need to add channels to your Flutter app to call native iOS or Android code.
I might sound noob here but I can't see a clear way of opening existing Flutter Project in Android Studio 3.1.2.
I checked this but it didn't work. So I want to know if there is a standard IDE way of doing this? I also can't find any docs clearly mentioning it. Do I need to install a 3rd party plugin?
After opening it as an Existing Android Studio Project, I get the following error:
The error is solved by running Get Dependencies. Is it a normal behavior?
Install Flutter plugin for Android studio: https://flutter.io/get-started/editor/
Open Android Studio
Open existing Android Studio project by using one of below methods:
EASIEST WAY: Drag your project folder and drop to Android Studio.
Other ways:
What works for me was to open existing Android Studio project like mentioned above, and then go to menu
Tools -> Flutter -> Flutter Clean
Then configuration window will open and ask you to locate flutter sdk. After locating the sdk, click OK and then the flutter functions will be available (Pub buttons, runs menu). After that you can proceed to get the dependencies (pub get).
It's basically cleaning the project folder of previous setting(s) which might conflicting with the system (android studio). But that won't happen if you get the project from source repository because all of the junk files wont be in the project folder.
The quickest way on macOS is
open -a Android\ Studio android when you are in the root project directory.
Alternatively, if you use the jetbrains toolbox, you can enable "Shell Scripts" in its settings. This will create a binary in the folder of your choice, so you have to add this folder to your PATH. Then, you can use studio . inside the Android folder, or studio android in the flutter project. The benefit of this, is it also works with other Jetbrains products (e.g. charm project_dir or clion project_dir. Unfortunately this method glitches out (for pycharm at least).
Looks like Android Studio can't load Android Application module from Flutter project automatically. I also have same problem, so in my situation Gradle can't be found, because of lack of Android project.
There's important note from official site:
Important: Do not use the New > Project from existing sources option for Flutter projects
I suggest, same is for Open option.
Just Open your project as normal, and then in [Android Studio > Preferences > Languages&Frameworks > Flutter > Flutter SDK path] select the path where you downloaded & unpacked Flutter SDK.
I know it's already late, but you can open an existing Flutter project in Android Studio by following these steps (make sure you have already installed Flutter & Dart plugin and Flutter SDK):
Click Open from File menu in Android Studio,
Go to the path of the project,
Click Open from the dialog,
When the project opens in Android studio, it will show an error of packages and dependencies. So, click on Get Dependencies on the top. Android Studio will automatically add all the required dependencies and packages.
There is a simple way of doing this in android:
Just Open your project as normal, and on the top right corner, click on Flutter Attach option, and voila!
See Attached screen grab!
Usually you can open your Flutter project in Android Studio simply when you right click on the android folder > Flutter > Open Android module in Android Studio but sometimes this option could be disabled, check this answer to enable..
I am trying to understand on how to build a shell component native code on Android with MFP 7.1 using Android Studio instead of ADT.
I got the MyProject/components/ShellComponent/android/native folder created after build the component, but there is no option to Run As > Android Studio project. I wanted to add Java classes to run under src. The ADT version uses a separate project tree, but with Android Studio, there is no separate tree.
I also tried to open native folder as an Android Studio project and it shows an empty project.
I ran the ShellDevelopment sample on Android Studio and it works fine.
Open the project in Eclipse -> Right Click on Android environment -> Run As -> Android Studio Project. When Android Studio is opened DON'T MIGRATE PROJECT TO GRADLE!
Anyway it is not recommended! if you want to make changes - use Eclipse to make these changes.
