Why empty compose activity not found in Android Studio Flamingo | 2022.2.1

Question

I'm following the tutorial to learn Jetpack compose, but I'm stuck on the Empty-Compose-Activity template, I can't find this template.

Here is my Android Studio version:

I've tried searching this, but found nothing to solve this, please help

Answer 1

I updated recently too and ran into the same issue

Apparently they redesigned the new project templates in Flamingo | 2022.2.1

The "empty activity" will create a new empty material3 compose project, which should work the same as the "Empty-Compose-Activity" template. You can find more info in the official release notes
