VSCode flutter how to launch Android Emulator instead of Chrome

All my old projects were able to launch debugging with Android Emulator. When I press F5, it will shows a list of installed Android Emulator for me to select for debugging.

But today, I have created a new project, and it launches debugging in Chrome instead.

  1. First you'll need to check if the android platform has been initialized for the project. If you project has an android folder then it has been initialized, if you will need to create it with the following command: flutter create --platforms android .

  2. To run the emulator, check the bottom right corner of the screen you should see the currently selected platform, if you click on the selected platform a pop up should appear allowing you to select from all supported platforms.

  3. You can also you use quick-open (ctrl+p) and type in >flutter launch emulator, if no emulator is found it will provide you the option to create one as well.
