I'm creating an ultra portable app development setup with a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB. Since Android Studio is not compatible with ARM I have installed VS Code and installing the Android SDK manually. I've made some progress, here's what I have so far:
- Installed Ubuntu to the Raspberry Pi - Installed Flutter 2.4 using *snap* - Installed Chromium and pointed *CHROME_EXECUTABLE *to it in *.bashrc* - Installed VS Code with Dart and Flutter plugins - Installed the Android SDK using *apt install android-sdk* - Installed the Android Command Line Tools from here <https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools> and added them to my PATH - Installed *platform-tools*, *platforms;android-28* and *build-tools;28.0.3* using *sdkmanager --install* - Agreed to Android licenses using *flutter doctor --android-licenses* But here is the issue. When I plug my phone in (previously used for debugging with my laptop running Android Studio), flutter devices doesn't detect it, it only shows Chrome as a device. In VS Code when I go to debug, I therefore only get Chrome as an option, which incidentally does work fine for web debugging. My phone has "USB debugging is on" on the handset. A few things I noticed are: - Despite installing the command line tools, they are completely ommited from flutter doctor (see output below). As far as I can tell they are installed but I am not sure if I need to add something to my .bashrc? - If I enter which adb into terminal I get */usr/bin/adb* rather than */usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb*. Both seem to work and this is the output of adb devices: List of devices attached 6369e875 device - I tried setting up an emulator but emulator isn't available as a package from sdkmanager and VS Code says *avdmanager is missing from the Android SDK* when try to create one through there. I didn't pursue this since I expect that would be a bit heavy for the pi anyway so rather debug on my actual device. I just presume that the emulator doesn't supprt ARM or something. Here is the output of flutter doctor -v [✓] Flutter (Channel master, 2.4.0-5.0.pre.122, on Ubuntu 21.04 5.11.0-1012-raspi, locale en_GB.UTF-8) • Flutter version 2.4.0-5.0.pre.122 at /home/user/snap/flutter/common/flutter • Upstream repository https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git • Framework revision 5acf7e98f1 (17 hours ago), 2021-07-20 19:58:58 -0700 • Engine revision 9b270621e4 • Dart version 2.14.0 (build 2.14.0-338.0.dev) [✓] Chrome - develop for the web • CHROME_EXECUTABLE = /snap/bin/chromium [✓] VS Code (version 1.58.2) • VS Code at /usr/share/code • Flutter extension version 3.24.0 [✓] Connected device (1 available) • Chrome (web) • chrome • web-javascript • Chromium 91.0.4472.164 snap • No issues found! I'm two days into this problem already and I've learned a lot but I'm reaching the point now where I'm a little stuck so any help is greatly appriciated, and hopefully what I've done so far can help someone in the future -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
