Running emulators with API 28 or 27 via Android Studio, the Flutter configuration successfully launches the application and there are no other problems, i.e. all other features work fine.

Why is the device not being detected by the Android Profiler? There are no resources describing similar problems.

A similar issue also occurs when trying to view Logcat:

To make these two tools work, the android module needs to be opened. You can do this by either opening the Flutter context menu of the android directory in the project view or by navigating to Tools -> Flutter:

After this, i.e. while the Android module is openend in Android Studio, the Android Profiler and Logcat will work fine.

    You might be right. I searched Android Studio Profile and found https://developer.android.com/studio/profile/android-profiler?gclid=Cj0KCQiA14TjBRD_ARIsAOCmO9bok7ernAEs_wKpRUKDW5khCnyAwHG80sncstqkA5wJQaXW5R_4u3IaAoblEALw_wcB where Java heap and memory allocations are mentioned and I assumed this is native only. I guess you need to open AS like explained in https://flutter.io/docs/development/tools/android-studio#editing-android-code-in-android-studio-with-full-ide-support – Günter Zöchbauer Feb 11 '19 at 13:54

    I think there is an open issue about to make this work better in https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij, but I couldn't find it. – Günter Zöchbauer Feb 11 '19 at 16:03
  • Flutter context menu greyed out. Tools -> Flutter menu doesn't have the option. – Simon Hutton Mar 04 '20 at 11:45
