What is the proper way to open cocos2d-x-3.7 in Android Studio?
I tried:
Open existing project in Android Studio project > Choose proj.android-studio directory (In another attempt, I also tried to choose the base directory MyGame)
Run
Error: couldn't find "libcocos2dcpp.so.
Moreover, it also does Classes directory in the Project.
Android Studio is only partially supported in cocos2d-x 3.7 and 3.8. With the default project you will only be able to run your app without debugging using Android Studio.
Prior to running your app in Android Studio you will have to compile using the Android Studio flag:
cocos compile -p android --android-studio
You will have to run this command after any changes to your app are made, since the default Android Studio currently doesn't compile your project.
Furthermore the default Android Studio project does not include the Classes directory.
Suggestion: Use Eclipse or Xcode to develop your cocos2d-x projects for now. Hopefully future versions of cocos2d-x will have better support for Android Studio out of the box, this is critical considering Google is dropping support for Eclipse.
When you try to run the application on Android Studio, you get the error couldn't find "libcocos2dcpp.so" because it doesn't have the NDK for building your game.
I recommend you to compile proj.android and import that, cocos2d-x 3.7 doesn't support full Android Studio yet. Do this:
cocos compile -p android
Then import your proj.android to Android Studio.
Now you can run your application but you won't able to debug it, bad news (it will just install the APK on your device or virtual device).
Hope it helps.
Error: couldn't find "libcocos2dcpp.so.
For this you need to compile android studio project first so .so files and classes folder will be generated.
Open your command line and enter the following command to compile your android studio project:
cocos compile -p android --android-studio --ap android-24 --app-abi x86
This will create required files in your proj.android-studio directory.
Now import this project into Android Studio and try to run it.

I'm running into the error when I tried to run the existing project.
Error: "AndroidManifest.xml doesn't exist or has incorrect root tag"
I'm seeing a lot of solutions suggesting using "Sync project with Gradle files". I'm running Android Studio on my Mac and did not see that option. I do have AndroidManifest.xml file in the project but for some reason Android Studio can't find it.
I have the file under project_name > app > src > main > res.
I have Android Studio 4.1.1 and macOS Catalina 10.15.7
I also got a recommendation when I open up the Android Studio
Migrate Project to Gradle?
This project does not use the Gradle build system. We recommend that you migrate to using the Gradle build system.

Not sure what to do about it. I'm pretty new to Android Studio. Thanks!
I just installed Android Studio 3.6.3 on Windows 10 and I created a new Native C++ project. I can build and run the native project and I can debug Java code in the project.
The problems I'm having are:
I can't step into the C++ code when debugging
I can't set breakpoints in *.cpp files.
When I right click folders in the project view to add a new file, I only see options to add Java, Kotlin, and Android platform files. There aren't any options to add C++ source or header files.
When I open a C++ file Android Studio recommends installing plugins supporting *.cpp. The plugin it's recommending is for Arma 3 plugin development.
The "Attach Debugger To Process" menu only has Java as a debugger option. That list should also contain Native, Dual, and Auto.
I've made sure to install CMake and NDK (Side By Side) in the SDK Manager and I've configured the NDK in the project settings. I've tried reinstalling Android Studio 3.6.3 and I've also downloaded Android Studio 4.0 RC 1, but I have the same problems.
What steps am I missing to get C++ support in Android Studio?
Managed to get it working. Turns out just running the uninstaller wasn't enough, I had to follow the steps in this answer to completely uninstall Android Studio. I then reinstalled and everything seems to be good.
I was downloading an update for android studio. After the download was finished, there was some issue and the patch was not applied. Is there a way to use that downloaded file again? I don't want to download again because it will take a lot of time.
PS I'm using ubuntu.
To solve the “failed to apply patch” Android Studio problem you can follow these steps:
Move the Android SDK folder out of the Android Studio folder (quit Android Studio first).
Redo the Android Studio update process.
Once the update is complete, you will be prompted to enter the new location of the Android SDK.
If these steps do not work for you, update your Java runtime engine (JRE) and development kit (JDK) to the latest version. Alternatively, you could also just download the latest Android Studio build, install it (after renaming the folder of the previous build), and import your projects from the old buggy build.
I installed Flutter and Android Studio following this link here:
https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/editor
I've been coding in flutter for two months now and can run my app in simulator or on a connected device no problem.
But when I try to actually build an apk via "Build" --> "Build Bundle(s) / APK", this option is greyed out.
Android Studio: 3.3.2
You can't build apk using Build option in Android Studio if you are running your Flutter project.
There are 2 solutions to build it.
In terminal, write flutter build apk (this will build apk for release version not the debug version)
Open your module in Android Studio and you can use Build option of the Android studio to build the debug apk.
For option 2, you can go to build.gradle file and you should see an option in Android Studio asking you to open the module separately (see the screenshot) Tap on this option and you can then build your apk in both debug and release mode.
I realize this might have already been answered, but I have another solution to this issue. I was having the same problem after modifying my pubspec.yaml file, so after trying to build within terminal nothing would happen. Apparently, you have to open the .yaml file within Android Studio from your project directory in order to for AS to realize that there's been a change to the file. After I opened the file from the project folder, the option for Build > flutter > Build Bundle(s) /APK > Build App Bundle finally reappeared again. Just sharing my experience and hope it can help someone else who may come across this rather strange issue.
Reopen the project from your projects directory, not from recent projects option. This solved for me
Please follow these steps:-
Go To Project Structure>Project>NOSDK
Change NOSDK to the latest
ANDROID API PLATFORM
Then go to MODULE and DO THE SAME
I've got a project that used to be in Eclipse. I've since moved it from there into Android Studio, though it's not using the Gradle build system yet.
I've setup my gradle files so that I can do gradlew build from the command-line and it will generate an APK for me.
My question now is how do I get Android studio to build using the gradle files that I've got setup instead of the using the "old" way?
For what it's worth, I'm on Windows 7.
Not sure how you are compiling the project with Android Studio without actually using Gradle because AFAIK Android Studio always uses Gradle under the hoods to build sources.
Anyway, if you have your Gradle config file ready you only have to import it to a new project in Android Studio (File > Import Project... and then select the build.gradle or settings.gradle)
