Android Studio not showing Logcat with Flutter

Question

I'm using Android Studio for Flutter App Development. Everything seems to be working fine just that the Android Studio does not show the "logs" in Logcat. In the Logcat section, it says "Please Configure Android SDK". Which is already configured. And in the Logcat section says "No Connected Devices." in the drop-down menu. When it has recognized my Android Phone and is showing it just under the Menu bar.

Is there a fix for it? Is there something I am missing?

Answer 1

Try the following:

• Event Log ( a tab at the bottom right )

• scroll to Android framework is detected

• click Configure

The Logcat tab should appear now. Moreover, Device File Exprorer should show up on the right panel.

Answer 2

Update April 2020: Cuong's answer works better with Android Studio 3.6+

Previous answer:

Flutter use Run tab to display logs in Android Studio. Switch from Logcat to Run and then you will see logs.

Answer 3

转到设置/首选项 -> 语言和框架 -> Flutter -> 选中或取消选中Replace the Run and Debug console with an Experimental Flutter Loggin view

Answer 4

When I first came to Flutter from an Android background, I didn't know where to find the log statements. I didn't care so much about all of the system messages. I just wanted to see log messages from my app during development. This answer is for people like that, not for people who specifically need LogCat itself.

In Flutter apps you can log text using the print() statement.

print('hello');

As others have said, you can use the Run tab in Android Studio to view these logged comments.

Here is the code for main.dart:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MaterialApp(
    home: Center(
      child: RaisedButton(
        child: Text('Button'),
        onPressed: () {
          print('hello'); //               <-- logging
        },
      ),
    ),
  ));
}

Answer 5

Just open another NATIVE project for Android Studio in other window and the logcat will work, do it while Flutter project is open. That was the solution for me

Answer 6

I just solved this, the flutter project was missing an Android module. Go to 'File -> Project Structure -> Modules'. Click on the '+' sign at the top to add a module. Select Android.

Answer 7

I had this issue: I have done the following steps to resolved it:

• Click the event log on the bottom right of android studio
• Click on configure
• Click on Ok in the dialog box

• Logcat will be available now

Answer 8

Open Project Stucture -> Modules -> new android module from exists source.

Logcat & Device File Explorer will be visible.

for Android Studio 3.6: File -> New -> New Module -> Android Library

Answer 9

I guess it's an ADB issue. You can restart AS (or maybe even your Computer) or what i usually do is open the terminal an then: adb kill-server && adb start-server (I think the second part adb start-server is not necessary because it seems that AS handles it automatically) - anyways this is how LogCat and Android (and Flutter) work for me every time.

Answer 10

When i face this problem I just go to File and open my existing native android project and then close it. This solution also works when abd Wifi pludings does show warning like => adb not found.

Answer 11

只需使用命令 'flutter logs'，然后您就可以看到由 'print' 或 'debugPrint' 函数打印的所有日志。

Answer 12

when you open flutter project, IDE prompts you to configure android project. Just click on the recommendation and it will start showing logcat window.

Answer 13

In case you accidentally refused to configure Android framework and now struggling to find the LogCat window. Then delete .idea, .dart_tool and .gradle folders in project root and android folder. Then Invalidate and restart. It will ask to configure detected Android framework. Click 'configure'.

Answer 14

Simple way

1.

Go to Menu and select 'Project Structure' -> 'Project'

2.

In 'Project Structure' Select Project SDK

And just now click on OK and Apply.

thank you.

Answer 15

Find a way around it (macOS).

Go to Project Structure -> Facets -> "+" -> Android -> Select Project Logcat should now be visible. Configure Android SDK if not done previously and you should be able to use Logcat.

Answer 16

切换到“运行”选项卡以查看日志，如果您想插入日志（如 android 中的Log.d() ），您可以使用print()函数，您传递给它的任何字符串都将打印到“运行”窗口。

Answer 17

I found a solution worked for me:

for MacOS: Go to: /Users/userName/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio3.4/options Find "runner.layout.xml" Change the name of this file for ex: runner01.layout.xml Restart Android studio

for Windows: 1- Focus "Run" tab (click on tab header, not on its body) 2- Ctrl+Shift+A, find and click "Restore Layout"

Hopefully, it helps.

Answer 18

You can enable verbose logging for flutter if you are looking for AppId or something of that sort.

Answer 19

In my case, I also had an error in the Device File Explorer: Error initializing ADB: Android Debug Bridge no found . I fixed the problem following Error initializing ADB: Debug Bridge not found : I selected the latest Android API Platform as Project SDK in File/Project Structure.

Answer 25

Some times for some reasons like flutter clean or changing in files directory, android studio usually excludes some files from project modules. here is some simple steps to help you solve the problem:

go to File --> Project Structure --> Modules

There are 2 common scenarios.

• Android studio might have completely removed your project from modules. For this you need to add it again using steps shown in the picture below.

Click on the plus icon and the add your project here. Then press Apply and lastly OK.

• Android studio just excluded some of the files and folders from your flutter project. In the right panel you can see them in red. just remove them from exclude list and again Apply and OK.

NOTE: In both scenarios you need to stop the project and rerun it. or better close and reopen android studio
