Androidx error creating new flutter project in Android Studio

When I want to start a new Flutter Project in Android Studio (3.5.1.) I get the following event:

Error creating project. Could not find an option named "androidx". Empty folders are created, but no project.

I've not set anything to needing androidx and I've updated everything I could in Android Studio.

How do I get around this error?

On Android Studio 4.0, try to create a new flutter project. And then install the new flutter SDK. It should fix this issue.

Due to no upgrade for a long while, I need to upgrade the flutter by running the following command in terminal:

flutter upgrade --force

Download a newer version of Flutter SDK from https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install and replace the old version on your hard drive with it. I worked for me.

There's an accepted answer already but to me the way to solve that was very different, so I still post it hoping for it to be useful to someone.

In my case, I just had to update flutter. To do so, I ran

flutter upgrade

from the command line. That took a few minutes. Afterwards I was able to create a Flutter project from Android Studio flawlessly.

First, update the Gradle version in build.gradle file in the root of android folder to 3.5.1.

Then update test dependencies in build.gradle file in the android/app/ directory to androidx as follws.

androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.2.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0'

And update distributionUrl in android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
