Very silly, but for me the reason was that in Android studio I opened the whole react native project although should have been opened it's 'android' subfolder which contains those very importand gradle files. After I opened the correct folder run button became active and I didn't even had to edit configurations as it is said in accepted answer.

Worked for me using Android studio on flutter project:

File > Repair IDE

After an alert "Repair IDE" appears asking if the IDE already works fine, press Rescan Projects Indexes untill the run button works fine

in my case, in the gradle scripts my local.properties file didnt exist so ide wasnt able to find the location of project.and the reason was, i started the project with dragging file of project to android studio. AFter that i closed the ide and started the project from android studio -> projects side. it worked for me

dart was not enabeld

goto setting search for enable dart or you will see dart option there
enable dart and give it will ask you for the dart SDK path give the path 'C:\src\flutter\bin\cache\dart-sdk' but check your path of the given example directory
choose the below box project file and then apply and ok to exit this will enable your RUN button

Most likely an issue with your Flutter config setup in android studio. Go to edit config and check if the flutter path is setup properly. That should fix your problem.

goto android studio terminal and paste flutter packages get
goto Files->Repair IDE if your problem goes away then select the option 'Everything ok or works for me' like option otherwise select other option and the problem goes away
The IDE will restart in the step2 but still if it does not restart then manually restart IDE

Selecting a different build variant (in the Build Variants view), then reselecting the initial build variant, fixed this issue for me.

If you are on a Mac, try clicking on File, then click on "Sync project with Gradle files" .... Run button should turn green again in a few seconds.

For me, more than 1 instance of adb was initialized and due to this run button was disabled. I had to open ActivityManager (on mac) and kill all the initialized adb instances.

Run button is bounded with Configuration that is why you should check if your project is build, synced and indexed and after that you can select a Configuration

For me increasing the version of compile SDK to latest solved my issue, Go to

build.gradle(app-level)

compileSdkVersion 30

Because My Emulator is Api-level 30

Happened to me twice, and then I figured out it happened after I upgraded my flutter version. When I opened (flutter SDK path) in (flutter) tab in (system preferences) I found it empty.

Solution was to point out to flutter directory on my disk from (flutter SDK path) in (flutter) tab in (Android studio preferences).

You have to reconfigure the FlutterSDK path in Android Studio: Go to Setting -> Language & Frameworks -> Flutter and set the path to Flutter SDK

I opened the wrong folder.... Verify is your root folder in Android studio has the build.gradle file.

My solution was to go to that multiselect button, then "Edit Configurations" -> Go to "+" and select the module (in this case it would be an app if you do not have a multiproject -> then apply and OK

When creating the Run Configuration, the dropdown for Module had only <no module> for me. Invoking menu File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files added app to the dropdown for Module. Then the Run button became enabled.

I'm using Linux where I had a symlink in my home folder pointing to a folder containing the Android Studio projects. Loading a project using the symlink failed, loading a project from the folder where the symlink is pointing to worked!

Select the project view in the android studio.
Remove all gradle folders.
Restart the android studio.

This will work.

The issue is happening since the gradle was configured for an android studio in another machine and the files pushed on the git and are using in your studio.

After removing these gradle files and restarting the studio, the studio will generate gradle files for your system. This will solve the issue.

Just click the dropdown button on left side of RUN button (in your image the dropdown which is in red box) select 'app' option from that and RUN button will be enabled.

Please refer below screenshot.

It was quite silly for me, I just opened the Run > Run Configurations window everything seemed to be fine there, I didn't change anything, when I closed the window the button was enabled.

if you're importing an eclipse project to android studio, you'll also encounter the same issue as above. Double Check if grade>app has apply plugin: 'com.android.application' on the top as sometimes android studio imports it as a library.
