Emulator not detected in VSCode using Flutter

I am trying to use an emulator and when I launch it, it starts loading but its not getting conneccted in VSCode. How can I connect so that VSCode detects it?

When I start the adb-server, I get the following output

ADB server didn't ACK

For my case, I haven’t installed the "Flutter Support and Debugger for VS code". Then I have installed that plug-in. Automatically then it is showing in the status bar. enter image description here

For my case I launched the emulator using cold boot whenever VS code did not detect the emulator. I hope this helps someone.

In my case, VSCode was not detecting any devices, but flutter doctor was. This is what worked for me on Ubuntu 20.04.4:

sudo kill -9 $(pgrep Electron) to kill all instances of VSCode and then restart VSCode.

  1. Disabled and Enabled Flutter plugin
  2. Disabled and Enabled Dart plugin
  3. Restarted Vscode
  4. Restarted PC

Try these four options one by one, hope the problem will be solved.

In my case, because I moved the android SDK to different path, not default in c:, so the vs code wont detect the emulator.

resolve

  1. Go to Android SDK folder
  2. find a folder called "platform-tools"
  3. copy the path, and add it to environment variables
  4. restart vs code

Most of the time, a simple restart for IDE and Emulator is enough. But in some cases restarting the machine is best. Among these solutions, you can try to restart adb server.

adb kill-server
adb start-server

Optional: Also, If you want to use your device without cable, you can root your device, then you can use adb over the air (If your device doesn't have that functionality. Modern devices have this option built-in.).

The device does not have permissions. Run flutter doctor and flutter devices, if no devices appear to be connected (in this case, emulated) you need to kill the adb-server, open the emulator and then start the adb-server.

If the issue still persists after this, try flutter doctor --android licenses

And if it still continues, please post your flutter doctor & flutter devices output.
