Flutter disable system debug messages in Run Tab - android-studio

I use:
print('Pls. show this line only');
to debug my flutter apps developed by Android Studio. However, the output in the [Run Tab] is usually something like:
Tens/Hundreds of system debug messages
I/flutter ( 9154): Pls. show this line only
Tens/Hundreds of system debug messages
OK, sometimes it takes me minutes to find my own debug message [Pls. show this line only].
My question is simple, how can we disable [Tens/Hundreds of system debug messages] in the Run Tab of Flutter Project in Android Studio?
Meanwhile, I am using:
print('***************************************************** Pls. show this line only');
as a work around.

In Android Studio....
Before
Settings
File > Settings > Editor > General > Console
Look for section:
Fold console lines that contain
Click the + button on right hand side of scrollable list
Add your substring of what you'd like hidden from the Console output.
For example in Flutter, I'd remove D/ (i.e. letter D + forward slash) which are emulator debug messages.
After

I Finally found a Workaround For VS code this is NOT permanent so you have to do it once per session but it helps a lot ...
there is a hidden feature in vs code for debug log filtering and all you need to do is to filter the log to have only the flutter related logs as follows :
1) focus on debug console (by clicking on it )
2) click ctrl + f (nothing will appear but you are now in filtering mode)
3) Type "I/Flutter"
4) hover on the word and click the icon next to it to make it stick .
that's it !
Before :
After:

In Android Studio:
select text you want to ignore in the console
Right-click it
Fold lines like this
Android Studio Flutter Console folding

Select the option as shown in case IntelliJ IDEs or Android Studio
Now you can filter as follows

The android-studio 4.0 has a setting to make this messages go away.
Go to File -> Settings -> Languages and Frameworks -> Flutter
Uncheck the box stating Enable verbose logging
Settings View

Add
I/flutter
in filter of VsCode Debug Console Filter.

Rather than filtering the logs, use the release version of the drivers :
flutter run --release
This will avoid printing all the system logs like :
V/MediaPlayerNative(22395): playback complete
And your debug prints will continue to display.
Drawback is you won't use anymore the hot reload. Reserved to investigate when the debug prints are flooded in system logs.
Of course applicable to VSCode.

How to hide warning "The console output contains very long lines (...)" when building apk in Android Studio

After I update Android Studio to chipmunk, every time I build the project it gives me this warning. Sometimes it even gives me two times in Run and Build tabs overlapping each other and consuming one click of the mouse to dismiss it, what end up being really annoying.
Is there a way to disable those bubble notifications? Disabling this specific one would be the ideal, but disabling only build notifications should work for me as well.
Thanks in advance.

Terminal Missing in Android Studio

I opened Android Studio to find that the Terminal Tab is no longer present along the bottom left. Restoring to the default layout did not return it. I also can't seem to find any reference to it in the View or Window Tabs.
How do I get the to the Terminal tab in Android Studio?
Update:
Terminal is not present under View -> Tool Windows, but the Terminal Plugin is installed and enabled.
File > Settings > Plugins' - Search for "terminal"
Untick the check box -> Press Apply
Tick it again -> Press Apply -> Press OK
Restart Studio
Try the shortcut alt+F12. Or check the information under the heading
Running embedded local terminal
On the following link:jetbrains help
Toggling Tools-> Android-> Enable ADB Integration Off/On then restarting the IDE returned my Terminal Tab.

How to show Android Studio's Messages Window?

When I build a project and there are errors, the Messages window that shows all the errors does not always show. I have to build the project (i.e. Ctrl + F9 ) twice or more in order to see the window.
When the window is not shown, View > Tool > Messages Alt + 0 is grayed out as shown by the following screenshot. How can I show the window when there are build errors?
I am running the latest Android Studio on Windows 8.
[Edit] 2018-04-02
Android Studio 3.1 seems to have this window removed, many people may come here because of missing the Messages Window due to a different reason, and yuval's answer may be the right one in this case.
I got here after upgrading to Android Studio 3.1, in which they removed the Messages window, replacing it with the Build window. After some poking around, I found this button on the left side of the Build window:
Clicking this button toggles the view between the new "Build" view and the old "Messages" view.
UPDATE: per suggestions in the comments, since this doesn't really answer the asked question, I opened it up as its own question: Where is the Messages Window in Android Studio 3.1
UPDATE 2: In Android Studio 3.3 the button now looks like this:
UPDATE 3: In Android Studio 3.6 the button is gone. Instead, the build window is permanently split between text output and visual output. If you can't find the text output, it might be fully collapsed, so look on the top right of the build window for something like this:
And try to drag it left to reveal the build window, like this:
It was a bit different in my case. I just closed the Message Tool Window with this red cross on the left and then this window completely disappeared and would not show again even after several rebuilds, View > Tool > Messages Alt+0 was also grayed out. The only thing that helped to bring the Window back is to break the build, so it would be some compiler errors. After that the window has reappeared showing those errors. Now the window is still there, does not vanish. Hope this helps somebody.
Just to have the whole picture. Go to the Build and then on the left side of the window you will find your Messages icon.
Build -> Make Project
(Ctrl+F9 or ⇧⌘F9)
Can't find the button #yuval provided, but here it is to toggle to show it

Where is the warnings screen option in Android Studio?

I want to see warnings of my code in Android Studio, But i am unable to find the option to display warnings view. In case of eclipse we can see the warnings in the "Problems" view.
Can anyone suggest me, how to view warnings in android studio?
If, on the toolbar, you click Analyze -> Inspect Code; then in the window that pops up select how much of your project you want to inspect (I usually do Whole Project, but you might want to select a specific module), then click okay.
Android Studio will work for a bit, then the inspection window will pop up from the bottom with a list of results, subdivided by inspection.
Build -> Make Project (Ctrl + F9) gives what we can get equivalent of Eclipse's “Problems” view on Android Studio
you can use F2 to next problems, see more here: Navigating to Next/Previous Error
GO to View-->Tool Windows-->Messages to view the warnings
Even i searched all the settings in Android Studio, but couldn't find a separate window for it.
The warnings are actually visible to the right end of a particular line as a small yellow marker and clicking on that show the warnings in the status bar below. The colors of them can be editted in the inspection options.
Hope this helps you.
The closest thing Android Studio/IntelliJ has to the Problems view in Eclipse is to use the Problems section of the Project tool window. With that open, navigate down to any classes that appear there and open them in the editor. Once in the editor, you can use F2 to jump between errors in the open file.
Unfortunately, IntelliJ's Problems tool window shows classes with errors nested by folder/package, so you have to expand several levels and it takes up a lot of screen real estate to see even one error. It also doesn't list the errors individually, forcing you to first open the problematic file and then use F2 to navigate to each one. I also had the problem that errors in files that weren't open, didn't show up there.

Visual C++ Express How do I just run the app?

I don't see how to just run an app in Visual C++ Express. Debug option is right there but how about running the app? I checked each button on above and right clicked everything I could but I don't see the option to just run it? Without debugging. I don't mind debugging but I lose the console screen that main is running its loop in.
You can do this by pressing Ctrl+F5. Or you could add it as a menu item (found this on the www):
 Tools -> Customize- > Commands tab -> Rearrange Commands -> Select Debug from Menu Bar dropdownlist -> Add -> Select Debug from Categories, Select Start without debugging from Commands -> OK.
The option might not be available by default on your toolbar, To set the Start without debugging button. You can goto and select Tools > Customize > Debug and then drag n drop it on your toolbar.
You can change the Solution Configuration to 'Release', which strips the majority of debugging information, but no matter what you do, if you execute it within the IDE it will take control of it to a certain extent.
If I want to run a console app without interference from the IDE I just open another command prompt, cd to the debug/release directory (as appropriate) and execute it from there.
Without going into the IDE, I know that with default keybindings(keyboard shortcuts):
Ctrl+F5 will start without debugging
F5 will start with debugging.
