Flutter: Open android module in Android Studio is disabled

Question

I am trying to open my flutter project separately in android studio with "Open android module in Android Studio" but when I left click on my flutter project window to open it this is disabled for me while "Open iOS module in Xcode" is there. Please let me know I can I enable it and can open my flutter project for android in another module.

Answer 1

>>> Only applies for Idea Intellij IDE

Okay, I finally figured out why the option is not available (greyed out).

It should be the inconsistency problem between the old version of the flutter plugin and a new one.

You might experience this issue if you created the project with a relatively old version flutter engine, and open it with a new version flutter plugin.

To know what happens and how to resolve it:

The old project contains a file:

which is not the same as in a latest created project:

So you know how to fix the issue:

Rename the iml file to (YourProjectName_android.iml) That would instantly make the menu highlight again!

Answer 2

Because you lost the xxx_android.iml file in android directory, it cannot be recognized as an android project.

So you only need to copy a xxx_android.iml file from other projects to the android directory.

Note, replace xxx with your project name
