Posts about Android Studio
I am returning after about two years of not building mobile apps. Things have changed, and based on the Flutter docs it seems that Android Studio is now a second rate citizen.
After a fair bit of googling, clearing out and re-installing all the relevant bits, I got it back up and running and flutter doctor is happy.
But now starting a Flutter project no longer starts a default Android application. Language options include Java and Kotlin but not Dart. Dart however is sitting somewhere else on the UI and it makes no sense.
I realise that Flutter wants to push other target platforms but I just want to get back into adding screens and building handlers for events, and feel lost that I cant find a recent tutorial for my case: Android, Dart, Android Studio. I can convert well enough from whatever platform it runs on (Most tutorials assumes Mac or Windows).
The older tutorials are just way out of date. Do I have to relearn everything and give up on Android Studio? AS fits in with what I'm used to as I use the JetBrains suite extensively.
I am probably missing a very basic switch to just get the default sample app to appear when I start a new project, but "hello world" is not what I expected.
EDIT:
Using `flutter create` in stead of the Android Studio New Flutter Project "just works". I had forgotten that this is an option (and really never used it because the New Project dialog is what I used to use, and even if I remembered it, had no way to know that this would be different, better, or recommended. In any case thank you to https://www.reddit.com/user/qualverse/ for the suggestion in the comments.
