How to connect flutter to Bluestacks emulator?

Question

I'm setting up an Android device for flutter development and need to have a lightweight emulator. How do I connect bluestacks to flutter? Since the android studio is too slow for my machine and I only have an iPhone.

Answer 1

Yes, You can connect Flutter to Bluestacks.

You have to enable adb on Bluestacks' configurations, by following:

gear icon > Advanced configs > (marks as true: enable ADB connection)

after that, you must to restart your bluestacks, then open a terminal and go to your Android SDK folder:

%localappdata%/Android/Sdk/platform-tools/

then type the follow commands:

adb connect localhost:5555

So, by now if you type flutter devices you will get the emulator device name on the list, then you can run your apps on it
