I want to develop flutter apps but I don't have enough RAM in my laptop (just 4 gigs). So, after lots of extensive research on the internet, I installed and setup flutter sdk, android sdk and VS Code. But when I try to run a sample app, I can't see list of any available emulators on my VS Code bottom-left screen.
VS Code screenshot (see bottom left).
I am not getting any kind of errors when I run flutter doctor command.
Flutter doctor outputs in powershell.
There's a folder in Drive C where I've installed the Android SDK named as "emulator". There's an executable file named emulator.exe as well but opening it does nothing.
Emulator Folder screenshot.
I also have an external emulator LD Player installed on my laptop but I am not able to connect it with the code editor i.e., VS Code.
Please refer to the links to see the images as I don't have privileges to upload images. I'm a newbie here and this is my first question. Thanks in advance!
You will need to activate ADB settings in your LD Player Emulator.
First, go to settings
Then, select other settings
After that, make sure that you have activated the ADB connection by selecting Open Connection

Error I am getting:
When I am trying to build the app (Which is by default app by Flutter), I am facing this problem please someone help me out.
flutter doctor -v:
I also checked the problems but didn't get anything.
I was trying to build the app.
If you are using windows, it is selected windows build by default on VS Code. You can select device on top section for android studio and bottom corner for vs-code.
and then run the app again.
Also you can use command on terminal like
flutter run -d c
this will run on chrome(I am using c to select chrome).
If you like to build on Windows, you need to install Desktop development with C++. Check How to build release version of windows app?
I have been dealing with a very persistent error when attempting to run a flutter app on an Android Emulator (Android Virtual Device launched through Android Studio) through VS Code. Here is a screenshot of the errors:
I have attempted to wipe data & cold brew both my emulators & reopen the application folder to no avail. I am beginning to feel hopeless. If anyone can help me at all, I would really appreciate that. Thank you in advance :)
PS: here is how the emulator looks
if you wiped the emulator's data and it is still showing the error, try to increase your emulator's space,
Tools
AVD Manager
Locate the emulator you want to increase space, click the drop down
Edit
Show advanced settings
Edit the Internal storage
Restart the emulator if it's running
NOTE: Newer android studio versions do not have the Edit option inside the dropdown, it was moved next to the dropdown menu (The edit icon)
I had also faced same error on windows:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE] Error launching application on Android SDK built for x86.
What I done was, just wiping out the data of emulator from android studio and it worked.
here there is an option of wipe out
Recently Formatted My Laptop , Previously the Android Emulator Was Working Great in My VS-Code. Now after fresh install of my VS Code, I installed the flutter and dart plugin . And created a sample flutter project to text my Android Emulator . To run the emulator I used the flutter run command but it showed only chrome and explorer . So I installed the Android iOS Plugin available in the VS Code. But When I Run The Emulator I am getting errors And The Emulator is not starting .But The emulator works great in Android Studio . I am attaching the photo of the error which I see in The VS-Code popup. I also added the Android SDK to my environment variables. Please have a look to the vs code errors and the environment Variables. I am really frustrated now. Wasted my 2 hrs but no solution.
Error while opening the emulator in VS code
Environment Variables:
flutter doctor and flutter emulator results:
Likely you'd need to add absolute directories \emulator and \platform-tools into Path
... just double-click the one Path at the bottom of your screenshot, in order to do so.
I have a flutter project and an android emulator running.
With visual studio code live share my friend can se all my files and code.
How can he run the code on an emulator on his end as well?
Because now he can only see the code but can't run the app.
Is it possible for him to see my emulator or run the project himself?
Vscode shares only the code.
If you want to share the app too, you'll need another program such as TeamViewer or similar.
I have a Nativescript application that I'm developing using VS Code and have no issues when I try to run it using the Nativescript launch configurations from the Nativescript extension, when I'm using a real device connected with USB or when I use one of the android-sdk emulators.
Now I need to run Hyper-V on the machine too and those emulators cannot run when hypervisor is on. So I downloaded and installed Visual Studio Android Emulator which runs fine when I launch it manually.
Problem is that the nativescript project doesn't recognize this device either with tns device or adb devices commands and if I try to launch the application from VS Code it tries to launch one of the other emulators, which obviously fails due to the hypervisor/Intel Haax incompatibility.
Did any of you had this problem before and have any solutions you can share?
Thanks.
Microsoft MSDN say :
If the emulator is running, but it does not appear to be connected to ADB or it does not appear in Android tools that make use of ADB (for example, Android Studio or Eclipse), you may need to adjust where the emulator looks for ADB.
The emulator uses a registry key to identify the base location of your Android SDK, and looks for the \platform-tools\adb.exe file under that directory.
Here We Go!! Step By Step ;)
Copy Your ANDROID SDK PATH for me it look like this :
To modify the Android SDK path used by the emulator:
Open Registry Editor by selecting Run from the Start buttons context menu, typing regedit in the dialog box, and choosing OK.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Android SDK Tools in the folder tree on the left.
Note : if Android SDK Tools folder doesn't exist, Create it under WOW6432Node, And open it, And Create a String Value name it Path:)
Modify the Path registry variable to match the path to your Android SDK.
Restart the emulator and you should now be able to see the emulator connected to ADB and associated Android tools.
Now! Open Your Terminal (CMD), and Run ADB command
adb devices -l
YES YES !! The Visual Studio Emulator is running, and connected to ADB!
HERE WE GOO !!
Now We Want To Create A Demo App (for example FIRSTZAKI) ZAKI is my nickname :p
On Terminal (CMD) :
tns create FIRSTZAKI
Choose Android Platform
cd FIRSTZAKI\
tns platform add android
Check if VS EMULATOR is ready!
tns devices
YES YES ^^
Finally Step (RUN/BUILD) :
tns run android
WOW ... Great :)
AND .. Good Luck ♥ — ZAKI
