flutter - How to add Android emulators to VS code?

Question

When I use flutter run command it shows the following message:

Multiple devices found:
Chrome (web) ? chrome ? web-javascript ? Google Chrome 88.0.4324.146
Edge (web)   ? edge   ? web-javascript ? Microsoft Edge 86.0.622.51
[1]: Chrome (chrome)
[2]: Edge (edge)
Please choose one (To quit, press "q/Q"):

Also this is the result of flutter emulators command:

3 available emulators:

Nexus_5x       ? Nexus_5x       ? Google ? android
Pixel_2_API_29 ? Pixel 2 API 29 ? Google ? android
pixel_xl       ? pixel_xl       ? Google ? android

To run an emulator, run 'flutter emulators --launch <emulator id>'.
To create a new emulator, run 'flutter emulators --create [--name xyz]'.

You can find more information on managing emulators at the links below:

Is it possible to add Android emulators to the list of flutter run command beside chrome and edge browsers?

Answer 1

You should:

• Retrieve the list of the available emulators

flutter emulators

• Launch the emulator

flutter emulators --launch Nexus_5x

Then when you run flutter run you should see your new android emulator.
