Android Studio 3.0 with Flutter & Dart plugin not recognizing USB or virtual devices when clicking Play #1525

mit-mit · 2017-11-22T16:38:56Z

From @tomnta on November 14, 2017 19:22

Steps to Reproduce

Run "Flutter Devices" in Windows 10 Command Prompt shows that a device is connected.

flutter devices
1 connected device:
SM N950U1 • ce06xxxxxxxx • android-arm • Android 7.1.1 (API 25)

However, pressing Run in Android Studio 3.x returns this error popup:

No connected devices found; please connect a device, or see flutter.io/setup for getting started instructions.

https://flutter.io/setup/ guides the user to this link https://flutter.io/setup-windows/#android-setup

And that page has no directions on how to setup the IDE to recognize that you have a device attached or to have it work with the virtual device.

The same error window pops up when you select a virtual device and press Play in Android Studio. However, pressing Play on an Android project works fine with virtual and USB devices.

Logs

Run your application with flutter run and attach all the log output.
Run flutter analyze and attach any output of that command also.

N/A. The command line tool works fine. The Android Studio plugin has issues.

From @macfeaster on November 18, 2017 17:52

Just curious, have you configured the Flutter plugin in IntelliJ under the Languages & Frameworks section? If this configuration does not have the right Flutter installation path, the Flutter plugin will not be able to launch the app via Android Studio.

mit-mit · 2017-11-22T16:38:58Z

From @pawelkw on November 18, 2017 21:10

Same problem here. Same config as OP. Happens in both AS and IntelliJ IDEA CE.

mit-mit · 2017-11-22T16:38:58Z

The Flutter IDE plugin is expected to show the exact same list of devices as flutter devices does. If they don't, then that a bug. I'm going to port this bug over to the intellij specific tracker.

mit-mit · 2017-11-22T16:39:43Z

@pawelkw, just checking are you also on Windows? And also seeing the expected list of devices in flutter devices ?

pawelkw · 2017-11-22T16:47:08Z

@mit-mit No, I'm on a Mac with High Sierra,
Yes, all expected devices show up correctly in CLI using flutter devices.

mit-mit · 2017-11-22T16:50:06Z

@pawelkw, @tomnta, would you both mind trying to update to the 19.1 version of the plugin and see if the issue still repros there?

tomnta · 2017-11-22T20:16:45Z

@mit-mit You bet.. ok, updated to version 19.1 but it still doesn't work for me in Android Studio 3.0.1.

Thanks for confirming!

pawelkw · 2017-11-23T19:34:29Z

Working for me now. Pulled repo + 19.1 plugin. Created new project in IntelliJ IDEA CE - devices show up correctly now. Project is deployed to selected device correctly. Mac High Sierra.

anaisbetts · 2017-12-30T05:34:41Z

I also experience this bug, but only on Windows, macOS works correctly. Same physical Android device on both machines, flutter run works on the Windows machine but AS 3.0.1 gets the dialog above.

As a possible clue, the dropdown will always be showing "Loading..." when you click it, I suspect that loading the list of devices is just never returning anything.

stevemessick · 2018-02-21T17:38:16Z

Restored original title because projects generated by flutter run are well-formed. There may be an issue with device detection in Android Studio, but I am not able to reproduce the problem.

kenneth-g-flux · 2018-02-27T11:32:52Z

I had the same problem today. The device selector in the Android Studio toolbar wouldn't even show up, but the device was in the list of connected devices when running flutter doctor -v.
Yesterday everything worked fine.

I ran the app from the command line with flutter run and after that, the device showed up again in Android Studio and I could run from inside the editor.

fahmifan · 2018-02-28T04:14:30Z

What OS do you use ? I run in same problem, i'm using ubuntu 16.04 and android studio 3.0.1 . I can run it from terminal flutter run but when i click run button from android studio it didn't recognize my device.

kenneth-g-flux · 2018-02-28T08:49:25Z

I'm on a Windows 10 machine and also using Android Studio 3.0.1.

Here's my flutter doctor -v output:

slhartley · 2018-03-02T06:03:10Z

Windows 10 and AS3.0.1 Flutter plugin 22.2.1
My issue isn't that AVD devices are not listed, but cannot be selected to run.
Flutter Device Selection lists AVD devices and selecting one will start them, but then resets its selection back to a connected USB device or Android SDK built for X86 and will launch the app there. CLI "Flutter Devices" shows the launched AVD, and "Flutter Run" will also run on the launched AVD. For some reason the Flutter Device Selection button doesn't stay on the opened AVD selection and so Android Studio cannot run the app on the chosen AVD.

I can run flutter run just fine in the directory and it loads the default flutter app in the VM. Clicking the run or debug button in intellij gives: "Unable to locate a development device; please run 'flutter doctor' for information about installing additional components."
The Flutter plugin does find the SDK information.

I get the same message when I change the target to my Android phone.

cisko3000 · 2018-03-23T00:22:14Z

For anyone that's having this problem, check your pubspec.yaml file. I had some invalid syntax and fixing that resulted in the Android device list appearing and letting me run my app. Maybe as a fix, can the plugin catch such bad syntax? I was able to catch it when I ran flutter through the terminal in my project folder.

devoncarew · 2018-03-23T02:56:57Z

@cisko3000, that may not be the most common reason why users would see this error (typically, windows specific issues, PATH issues, or needing to restart Android Studio after some path dependency changes).

However, we do check the pubspec.yaml file to determine if the project is a flutter project, so fixing the syntax error is likely why the device list started showing up again (we then recognized it as a flutter project). Do you have an example of the broken version of the file? We can make the flutter pubspec detection more robust, or add additional analysis to show warnings for issues in the pubspec file. Thanks!

antempus · 2018-03-23T14:45:43Z

I've also been dealing with this issue. I had added the launcher for Android Studio via alacarte for budgie desktop so I didn't have to launch from a terminal, but when I went back to launching AS from terminal the issue went away.

The specific issue was when running flutter doctor link when on the pubspec.yaml, flutter couldn't find the SDK install location; it didn't have this issue any other time that I could tell, even from the built-in terminal. This is likely related to resolving $ANDROID_HOME when AS is running flutter itself.

Setup
Shell : ZSH, $ANDROID_HOME -> $HOME/dev/android/sdk
Flutter : v0.0.15
Android Studio : v3.0
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.04

guilhermekrz · 2018-04-21T01:41:06Z

Same problem here, Ubuntu 16.04; flutter doctor shows the device. But when opening Android Studio via the desktop shortcut it does nor recognize any connected device, only when I open it via CLI.

kakateeya · 2018-07-09T07:49:39Z

I am having same issue. Mac High Sierra 10.13.5. flutter devices shows the device, but Android Studio (3.1.3) does not show (it says no devices). I have Dart plugin (173.4700), Flutter 26.0.1, flutter SDK path set correctly, $PATH has flutter and adb, $ANDROID_HOME is correct. adb devices lists the devices. AndroidStudio logcat shows the device and logs from device as well.
I started Android emulator just to check and it does not detect emulator either. But flutter emulators lists all AVDs I have. It just shows "Open iOS simulator" only in devices menu and I was able to run the app on iOS emulator.

Montanajim · 2018-09-23T05:34:20Z

I had the same issue while running on a Windows machine. I did the following:

I made sure my AVD was running a x64 version.
I ran Android studio in administrators mode.
Between the two, this fixed my problem.

Empdarknight · 2018-12-19T09:21:53Z

i had the same issue while using flutter first time , i will tell how i solved it for window platform.

first download zip file from https://flutter.io/docs/get-started/install/windows .
create a folder inside c drive named src
extract the downloaded file in this new src folder.
now change the environment variable . please check screenshot to change environment variables
run cmd using administrative write/
type futter doctor -v , if there is no error then create a new flutter project.
change drive in cmd for example to create a new project in D: drive just just D: and hit enter , after that you will be in D: drive.
then type flutter create first_app(name of that project)
now open that new project using android studio.
now go to file->settings->languages and frameworks-> flutter and there change the path of sdk to C:\src\flutter.
also change the dart sdk to C:\src\flutter\bin\cache\dart-sdk and click check box above it to enable dart supoort.
and now restart your android studio, hope your could be solved , please aknowledge

Just tried to install Android Studio and flutter on my Windows 10 Pro and Home laptops, created a basic flutter app.

When I click 'Run", I've got "No Connected Devices Found" pop up, "Flutter Device Selection" shows "< no devices >", click on the dropdown arrow, it shows "Loading..." (not sure it is actually loading device list or gets stuck), my connected device does not show up.

my "fullter doctor -v"

I treid some suggestions from replies of this issue (such as Run "Android Studio" as administrator), none of them fix the problem.

This happens on both of my Windows 10 laptops (Pro and Home).

Flutter team, please give us a solution for this issue, it's so frustrating.

grevian · 2019-02-21T19:46:47Z

I also encountered this problem, I tried running as administrator, and setting ANDROID_HOME as suggested above and neither helped, eventually I resolved it by setting the flutter SDK path in Settings->Languages & Frameworks->Flutter which had come unset somehow, despite it being set during the plugin installation/initialization.

ElTopo · 2019-02-26T19:05:38Z

Update: today I upgraded to Flutter version 1.2.1 and Android Studio (3.3) finally sees my device.
Not sure if this issue is really fixed, need more tests.

EDIT: too bad, the problem is back. "flutter doctor -v" shows a connected device, while Android Studio does NOT.

I know Flutter paths etc are correct because the Flutter Target Selector does sometimes show all connected devices and matches what is seen by flutter devices.
But sometimes Flutter Target Selector is 'stuck' on 'Loading ...' even when Android Studio knows about the connected devices!

The only way I can get it to work is to restart Android Studio until it decides to pick up the devices correctly.

zalox · 2022-06-10T12:02:39Z

This comment is for the Linux users facing this problem.

You are probably setting ANDROID_HOME, ANDROID_SDK_ROOT and DART_SDK etc. in .bashrc.

Set the variables in .profile instead and restart your computer (or load it manually, which is often harder than just restarting).

It seems like Android Studio does not start a shell in order to run. I'm guessing that JetBrains just run java with the system environment. Said easily, the system environment is the variables set by /etc/profile, and the files that this script includes, including .profile in the home directory.

Thanks to @intra s comment about the devices showing up in the command line but not from the GUI. This pointed me towards that the PATH is only set in the shell, but not in the system environment.

Nashev · 2022-09-02T13:31:28Z

I had the issue on Windows 10, my IntelliJ IDEA does not showed any Android emulators in the Devices combo box.
Thanks to antempus, adding an ANDROID_HOME variable to the windows environment solved this problem!
