Steps to Install and making flutter setup to build mobile application using android studio:
Step 1: Download and Install Flutter SDK
Go to: https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install
Choose your operating system (Windows/macOS/Linux).
Download the Flutter SDK (usually as a .zip file).
Extract it to a suitable location (e.g., C:\flutter on Windows).
✅ Step 2: Set Environment Variable (Optional but recommended)
Add the Flutter SDK’s bin folder to your system's PATH environment variable.
Example: C:\flutter\bin
and also required below(cross check)
C:\Program Files\Git\bin
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd
C:\Windows\System32
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
C:\flutter\src\flutter\bin (if flutter is extracted in this path or else not required)
Step 3: Install Android Studio
Download from: https://developer.android.com/studio
During setup, make sure to install:
Android SDK
Android Emulator
Android Virtual Device (AVD)
Step 4: Install Flutter and Dart Plugins in Android Studio
Open Android Studio → Go to Plugins (under Settings or Preferences)
Search and install:
Flutter
Dart
Restart Android Studio after plugin installation.
Step 5: Run flutter doctor command in command prompt( to check whether flutter installed or not)
Step 6: Configuration – Android Studio with Flutter
which is used to setup and development android apps using dart language
flutter sdk path:
C:\flutter\src\flutter
dart sdk path:
C:\flutter\src\flutter\bin\cache
Note: These paths are from my machine
Step 7: Close and Re-Open the Android Studio to create New flutter Project
Step 8:
Create an AVD (Android Virtual Device) with that system image.
Step 9: Run the application using selected AVD/Emulator
Note: To run the application need internet because it will download the ndk(native development kit)
to run the emulator chosen
Note: It takes lot of time first time configuration
