To add Flutter tools in the latest version of Android Studio and open the Android module of a Flutter project, follow these steps:


1. Install Flutter and Dart Plugins in Android Studio

  1. Open Android Studio.
  2. Go to File > Settings (on macOS, Preferences).
  3. Navigate to Plugins from the sidebar.
  4. Search for Flutter in the plugins marketplace and click Install.
    • When prompted, install the Dart plugin as well (itโ€™s required for Flutter).
  5. Restart Android Studio to activate the plugins.

2. Verify Flutter SDK Path

  1. Ensure you have the Flutter SDK installed on your system.
    • Download it from Flutter’s official website.
    • Extract the Flutter SDK and add it to your system PATH (optional for easier command-line usage).
  2. In Android Studio:
    • Go to File > Settings > Languages & Frameworks > Flutter.
    • Set the Flutter SDK path to the directory where you extracted Flutter.
    • Click Apply and then OK.

3. Open the Android Module in Android Studio

  1. Open Your Flutter Project:
    • Open your Flutter project as usual in Android Studio by selecting the flutter_project directory.
  2. Locate the Android Module:
    • Inside the Project Navigator (on the left sidebar), expand the android directory.
  3. Open the Android Module:
    • Right-click on the android folder.
    • Select Open Module in Android Studio (if available).
    • Alternatively:
      • Close the Flutter project.
      • Open the android folder directly in Android Studio as a standalone project by selecting File > Open and navigating to flutter_project/android.

4. Build and Edit the Android Module

  • Now, you can edit the Android-specific code (e.g., build.gradle, AndroidManifest.xml) or implement platform-specific features.
  • Ensure that you sync the Gradle files when prompted after opening the Android module.

5. Switching Back to Flutter Project

  • To return to the full Flutter project view:
    • Close the Android module project.
    • Reopen the main Flutter project folder in Android Studio.

Additional Tips

  • Use the Flutter Inspector and Dart Analysis tools available in Android Studio to debug and optimize Flutter code.
  • Always run flutter clean and flutter pub get after making significant changes to the android module to avoid dependency conflicts.
  • To generate APKs or App Bundles, use the Flutter CLI or Android Studio’s Build options.
