Install Android Studio

Install JDK

• By default, Flutter uses Java shipped with Android Studio, which may be too old. For Android build, we require JDK 17 or later.

  Download and install it from here: Oracle - Java Downloads.

Flutter setup

• Configure Android Studio path:

  • Run in PowerShell with administrator rights: flutter config --android-studio-dir="C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio" (specify correct directory)

• Configure JDK path:

  • Run in PowerShell with administrator rights: flutter config --jdk-dir "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17" (specify correct directory)

    • Example of a successful result: Setting "jdk-dir" value to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-17". You may need to restart any open editors for them to read new settings.

    • For more detailed information, please refer to the following stackoverflow discussions:

      • Android Studio no option to change Gradle JDK path
