I'm just starting to program with Flutter and I'm wondering if it's possible to program a whole flutter app, with just vs code, because of many reasons I can't use Android Studio on my laptop.
Just knowing if it's possible would be enough for me :)
Well, I started a standard Flutter App and I'm developing it from the basis.
Yes, you can code a whole Flutter project with VScode, you need just to follow the install process of all requirements for flutter:
https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install
However, you will need Android Studio in order to get an Android Emulator, to debug and preview your work process. ( you will not need to run it every time from Android Studio)
and when you will have the emulator installed then you can do the whole code process of a Flutter project only from VScode

I am trying to setup flutter on my device, so far I have been able to download the flutter SDK and android studio and satisfy the conditions of flutter doctor to start learning android application development:-
flutter doctor
I ignored the absence of visual studio as I don't want my app to be compatible with windows(as I am trying to develop for Android) but I am not able to fix the missing java bundle, any help on how would I do that?
I just ignored it for a second and moved on to set up my emulator but on running, it shows a pop up which says "Attach a debugger or ESC to cancel"(the pop-up is something like this.) how would I fix it.
This doesn't run the app on the emulator so how would I fix that?
Also on trying to debug, it throws this error, I am totally confused on how to proceed further to at least run my app so that I could start developing and learning flutter?
I am following along this to run my application.
Edit:
I have the java bundle in place but don't know how would I configure Android Studio to get it.
java's prescence
Also that the emulator is now showing that the System UI is not responding and on closing it, it further shows this.
It's been a week since I am trying to work out the setup of flutter but some way or the other some issue happens, please help.
Thanks in advance.
you have to install java runtime environment and It'll work. get from here
it'll show like this if you have JDK installed properly.
I recently installed Flutter on my Chromebook (4 GB RAM). I have been writing snippets of dart code using vscode with no issues. Recently, I decided to move into the flutter framework, and then when I try to run the default application generated after creating a new project, VS Code freezes after a while. I know initially this was supposed to take a while to load being my first time, but is over 1 hour the appropriate time?
I have tried restarting VS Code several times, but still the same output. I even switched to using Android Studio, and this even crashes after a while.
What could be wrong or what am I getting wrong? I followed the official installation process on both VS Code and Flutter.dev sites.
i will assume that you have set up your emulator correctly and you opened the emulator with these steps:
1- on your keyboard use ctrl + shift + p and choose Flutter: Select Device and wait for the emulator to open.
2- after the emulator starts, from the upper menu of VSCode select Run > Run without debugging.
the app should run, if the problem persists, in VSCode open a new terminal window and type :
1- flutter upgrade
2- flutter clean
3- flutter pub get
try to run the application hopefully it will run
When I run my application using the VS Code Run and Debug, The app is installed on my device and is stuck on a white screen. Meanwhile in the editor, the VS Code notification is stuck on "Installing build\app\outputs\apk\app.apk..."
I've tried to run different flutter apps on the physical device but was still met with the same error. I've also tried to run the flutter example increment app, but to no avail. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the flutter sdk from the stable GitHub branch but that also did not work. I've also tried solutions from about 22 other questions with similar problems.
However, when I use flutter run from the command line, the app installs and launches on my phone, however, I'm unable to use the Flutter DevTools Inspector.
P.S I've been able to debug flutter apps on the device with the Flutter DevTools in the past.
As of Flutter v1.20.2, this problem has been resolved. The linked GitHub issue is here if you disagree about the problem being solved.
You'll need to end the flutter, dart and flutter processes. So in terminal do this:
killall adb
killall dart
killall flutter
Then reload vscode
I cannot install the Android Emulator in my working environment, therefore I wondered whether it is possible to code/learn Flutter without any mobile device (or emulator). For example, is it possible to run/test the code by using the browser?
There are two non-mobile options, both of which are currently in development stages but could be used for learning Flutter:
flutter-desktop-embedding, particularly the example which you can check out and flutter run with minimal setup, and then modify.
The Flutter for web technical preview.
Flutter Desktop Launcher for Mac OS/Linux, support hot reload via VS Code

I wrote an app, and now I want to test on a Android environment,but when I press debug, no emulator is shown. I clicked on create new emulator, and It says creating new emulator, but nothing happens after that. Also, I tried to connect my phone to use it as an emulator but It wasn't being found by visual studio code. I am a beginner so please, any helps
Try to reinstall flutter SDK and don't forget to install flutter plugin on your editor (Android Studio or VsCode), Depending on your OS follow one of this instruction, it's so simple to install.
