ADB fails only for Flutter but not for Android in Android Studio?

Question

It is very sttrange, but in Android Studio on my Mate Ubuntu 18.04, AMD processor when I create 'Android Project' ADB works well. But once I am creating 'Flutter' one, i have error Error initializing ADB: Android Debug Bridge not found. I tried start it on Android Studio 3.2, 3.2.1... I tried recipes from here - no way. I tried to downgrade ADB to 23.0.1 too as mentioned here.

Here is Log:

Answer 1

I ran into a similar issue when I fresh installed Flutter SDK and following steps helped me out.

1. Go to platform-tools folder in your Android SDK, make sure adb files aren't nested into another folder. If nested, move all files to top platform-tools folder. Platform-tool folder shouldn't be nested and it should have adb inside it

2. Install SDK tools from your SDK manager (if hidden, uncheck Hide Obsolete Packages)

3. Execute flutter doctor --android-licenses and accept the licenses

4. Execute flutter doctor -v, it should show [✓] in Android ToolChain

Answer 2

That problem makes me slow down alot. Like you @Valery Kulikov , I tried those links u mentioned and many others. Finally, I found the solution in Chinese website https://blog.csdn.net/net_wolf/article/details/88971642 but that don't solve the whole. Ok, I will tell u the solution that works for me. In Android Studio, File->Project Structure->Modules->YourProjectName_android->Dependencies->Module SDK: (select API as your Android Emulator) and click Apply and OK. Then, restart Android Studio. I hope it helps you too.
