Steps To Prepare Your System For Running Mobile Application In The Android Studio Emulator

**Installing Android Studio and Android SDK

• Install Android Studio (Giraffe or later suggested)

• Enable installation of android virtual device:

• if you see this screen, continue with it:

• if you see this screen, go with more options > SDK manager:

• in the SDK Manager screen, make sure Android API 34 is checked (if not, install it from this screen. similar to all jetbrains IDEs):

• Set your ANDROID_HOME variable to the folder that sdk is installed:

• and from the SDK Manager window, install android sdk command line tools. tick it and click apply as we did for android API 34:

** Installing Flutter

• Install flutter.
• Select your OS. Let's continue with windows as example.
• Then select mobile as target platform.
• Scroll down to this section.
• download the zip, extract it to somewhere not requiring privileged access. This is your flutter sdk
• add <flutter sdk path>/bin to your PATH variable.
• run this command:

flutter doctor --android-lisences

• type y when asked.

**Opening Mobile App

• After cloning the repo, Open Project:

• go to Tools > SDK Manager set your flutter SDK path:

• then set your dart sdk path (it is flutter/bin/cache/dart) and enable dart support for project:

• then run this command in the project directory:

flutter pub get

• now it is time to create a virtual device using Android Studio VDM, and run our application in it.

• after clicking on create, select the resolution (1:2 or 9:16 suggested):

• then select the API 34 from recommended tab in this window download if required:

• continue with portrait in the next screen, and finish:

• after that, your newly created android device should be listed here:

• you can run it from inside android studio window. but I recommend running it as a floating window. I do it in that way:

-- File > Close Project

-- More Options > Virtual Device Manager

-- run it:

• then open the project again

• android studio will automatically detect the running virtual device, (orange) the lib/main.dart file (red). click run (purple). The first run may take more than a minute to launch the app.

• enjoy the app
