Flutter not detecting Android Studio

Question

I have installed flutter correctly on my Ubuntu machine. I have also installed Android Studio and its plugins Flutter and Dart. Anyway, when I run:

flutter doctor --verbose

I get this output:

My android studio is located on /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio I have also tried running:

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

And:

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

But the result after running flutter doctor is always the same, nothing recognized.

Thanks!

And what dir should I use: /snap/android... or /snap/android-studio/current/android-studio? — Ajapollo Trukatila, Aug 11 '20 at 10:26

Hello, I have done what you told me. I had already tried the solutions on your links, but two of them seem to be oriented in a iOS. At the moment no progress. — Ajapollo Trukatila, Aug 11 '20 at 11:56

I installed both flutter and android-studio through snap. This fixed it for me:

flutter config --android-sdk="$HOME/Android/Sdk"
flutter config --android-studio-dir="/snap/android-studio/current/android-studio/"

The flutter config command above also worked for me on Windows, but instead I had to use it with no spaces bewtween equal sign and "Path", like below:

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

try also escaping backslashes ("\\" instead of "\") in the above example, if the above doesn't work. note also that android SDK is not installed automatically with the initial Android Studio setup - you have to run Android Studio for the first time, and it will then download the SDK for you. I am not sure if setting --android-sdk is necessary once it is installed (usually in c:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk folder on Windows) – hello_earth Jul 31 '21 at 09:32

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

Thnaks man, but the command should not include these many spaces, it should be flutter config --android-studio-dir ="your-android-path" – ASLAN May 16 '21 at 13:02

flutter config --android-studio-dir="media/hacker/code/android/android-studio"

Yeah, so find where snap has installed Android-Studio in your ubuntu:

Go to the root directory where you can find etc, opt, var, usr directories.
Search for "Android". For me it was in "/opt/android-studio-2021.2.1/android-studio"

Open the Terminal and enter:

flutter config --android-studio-dir ="your-android-path"

For me it was like:

flutter config --android-studio-dir ="/opt/android-studio-2021.2.1/android-studio"

Then again run:
```
flutter doctor 
```

I'm using the Jetbrains toolbox on Mac OS.

Under "Android Studio" I chose ... Settings
I copied the "Install Location"
I then used the command

flutter config --android-studio-dir "#PATH_TO_INSTALL#/Android Studio.app"
