In Windows

if your Android Studio install by default, you can use this command

flutter config --android-studio-dir="C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio"

after this command, flutter can found android studio, but the plugin can't...

flutter doctor

In Linux (Ubuntu)

Note: for those who are facing the problem in Ubuntu and Android Studio is installed with snap:

flutter config --android-studio-dir="/snap/android-studio/current/android-studio"

Note: for those who are facing the problem in Ubuntu and Android Studio is installed with JetBrains Toolbox:

flutter config --android-studio-dir=/home/myuser/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/201.7042882

Where ./201.7042822 matches the current version of Android Studio installed. You'll have to check which one you have and update it in the command above.

In Mac OS - For the Android Studio folder to be discovered correctly, the .app folder must be included in the path: `flutter config --android-studio-dir="/Volumes/Esterna/Android Studio.app"` – Fed C Dec 20 '20 at 11:12

For Android Studio on Linux installed via JetBrains Toolbox use e.g. `flutter config --android-studio-dir="/home/jdoe/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/201.6953283"` – Janux Jan 02 '21 at 11:28

This worked for me on Win10 last update flutter 2.22 – Mavro Jun 19 '21 at 20:45
In my case, I had to remove the `=` as per the official Windows installation [instructions](https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/windows#android-setup). So the command that worked was `flutter configure --android-studio-dir "C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio"` – Stefan Sep 05 '21 at 15:14
The last part of this command flutter config --android-studio-dir=/home/myuser/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/201.7042882 should be where 201.7042882 is the build number and not the version number. This is a tiny hint but it might save a lot of pain. – Amanda Shafack Sep 27 '21 at 18:48
For future readers on Linux if you have the PID of Android Studio (`ps -e | grep -i studio`) you can do: `cat /proc/[PID]/cmdline` to find the path of Android Studio as well. – Space Jul 30 '22 at 08:33
It works in Windows ```flutter config --android-studio-dir="C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio"``` – Rico Chan Oct 22 '22 at 14:53
For linux users, the [official installing documentation](https://developer.android.com/studio/install) recommends to install android studio under `/opt/` or `usr/local`. Depnding on where you installed it, run either `flutter config --android-studio-dir="/opt/android-studio"` or `flutter config --android-studio-dir="/usr/local/android-studio"` – jurrdb Feb 10 '23 at 15:13

I had a similar issue which I solved by updating my flutter config as follows:

  flutter config --android-sdk="$HOME/Android/Sdk"
  flutter config --android-studio-dir="/usr/local/android-studio"

This was on Ubuntu 20.04.1

Assumptions:

You have extracted the downloaded android studio zip to /usr/local/android-studio

If you install Android studio using snap then

flutter config --android-studio-dir="/snap/android-studio/current/android-studio"

I think that I had the same issue, below are steps that helped me so I would recommend to try them.
1. Android Studio is installed and you can run it, so when it boots up, select configure:

In dropdown list open "plugins"
Search for "flutter" and install this plugin together with dart.
Restart the Android Studio and open a new terminal.
You should be able to create a flutter project in Android Studio and "flutter doctor" should work now.

Another possible solution:
Specify path, where android studio is installed, with the following command:
flutter config --android-studio-dir=

This worked for me!!

The problem is if your folder name is "Android Studio", flutter is not able to detect it later as taking only Android and skipping Studio.

Solution is :

Rename folder name from "Android Studio" To "AndroidStudio" and then run the config command :

flutter config --android-studio-dir="C:\Program Files\Android\AndroidStudio"

The solution with : flutter config --android-studio-dir="Your_Android_Studio_Directory" worked for me.

After that you can get error messages with flutter doctor even if you have the pluggins already intalled:

[!] Android Studio X Flutter plugin not installed; this adds Flutter specific functionality. X Dart plugin not installed; this adds Dart specific functionality.

Reinstalling flutter and dart plugins in Android Studio (version 4.1) solved the problem.

Even though this question is for mac, a lot of people like me will find this as top result. So in case you are on Windows and you installed Android Studio via JetBrains Toolchain and the paths in answers above don't work for you, this worked for me

flutter config --android-studio-dir="C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME_HERE\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Toolbox\apps\AndroidStudio\ch-0\202.7351085"

Where 202.7351085 is the folder name for my current version of Android Studio so you may need to change that too.

If you can't find Android Studio in this path, do:

Search Android Studio and open file location
If it's a shortcut, open location again
You should be in /bin
Go up one folder and that's your path

I had this problem because I downloaded a new AS version without uninstalling the old one first. During the download AS left the old program in place at C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio and just created a new installation at C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio1 (two installations next to each other??!! ).

I tried uninstalling AS (so I could do a fresh install) using the windows control panel but it said AS is already uninstalled?

So I had to run flutter config --android-studio-dir="C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio1" to point to the new version i.e. Android Studio1. This solved the problem.

I know this is an old issue but in case anyone still has issues getting flutter up and running like I did today here's what I did.

Windows 10

Once you install Android Studio you need to launch the editor for the first time and let it install a whole wack load of stuff (go get a coffee)

Note: I wasn't planning on using Android Studio so it didn't dawn on me to do this - bit of a duh moment.

Then go to File/Settings/Appearance & Behaviour/System Settings/ Select the SDK Tab and check off Android SDK Build Tools Click Apply and it will install it.

Open command line and run flutter doctor and you should now be good to go

Note: you may have to update the license - just use the provided command.

Hope this helps someone get up and running
