setx JAVA_HOME “C:\Android\openjdk”
setx ANDROID_HOME “C:\Android”
setx ANDROID_SDK_ROOT “C:\Android\sdk”
setx path “%path%;”C:\Android\sdk;C:\Android\sdk\bin;C:\Android\flutter\bin”
Download Android SDK
As you may already know the Flutter are based on Android SDK to work , so we need to download system images, platform tools, build tools, platforms, and emulator, by running the following commands:
sdkmanager “system-images;android-27;default;x86_64”
sdkmanager “platform-tools”
sdkmanager “build-tools;27.0.3”
sdkmanager “platforms;android-27”
sdkmanager emulator
- Note1: the date I write this tutorials the latest version of the above images was 28, but I downloaded the previous one, so I can develop app for wider range of Android OS versions, you can run the command
sdkmanager --list
to see available images and choose whatever you want. - Note2: Make sure to accept any license that appear by pressing
y
thenEnter
, or nothing will be downloaded.
Accept the licenses
Android sdk images have licenses that need to be accepted, you do that with the command:
sdkmanager — -licenses
just press y
then Enter
for for every license.
Configure Flutter
configure flutter to know the dir of Android sdk path
flutter config — -android-sdk C:\Android\
Create the Emulator
Create a new emulator with the name “nexus” or choose the name you want:
avdmanager -s create avd -n nexus -k “system-images;android-27;default;x86_64”
Run the emulator
flutter emulators — launch nexus
Moment of truth
flutter doctor -v
Test flutter code
cd C:\Android\flutter\examples\hello_world
flutter run
