Android Studio 3.2 RC 3 is not working correctly with the Flutter plugin

@creativecreatorormaybenot commented on Tue Sep 11 2018

Everytime opening a Flutter project, no matter what I have tried, I will have to do either or multiple of the following things:

1. Reassign the Flutter SDK path:

2. Enable Dart support for the project:

3. Sync project with Gradle Files.

Before that, the project view looks like this: That means that I am unable to access any project directories (android, ios or lib) because the Flutter plugin is not connected properly (until I fix it with the necessary steps described above).
This also disables all code analysis and completion features (if I open a file externally because I cannot access it from inside the workspace before enabling support and syncing) & the ability to run the application from within Android Studio.

I have tried

Reinstalling from the Android Studio Preview website and flutter upgrade…

OK, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I don’t have any easy solution. I think the quickest way for you to get going with RC3 would be to create a new Flutter project and copy your files from the old project to the new one. Not ALL files, just the ones needed to make your Flutter project. For example, don’t copy .idea, or any .* file unless you edited it (like .gitignore), or any *.iml file.

@stevemessick Apparently, I cannot create a project, which has the same name as the upper directory (...\name\name).
Also, renaming the directory of a project created with the same name as its parent directory, i.e. e.g. renaming ...\name\name into ...\name\other after creation does not solve the issue.

Another strange thing: The project that suddenly (when I first issued this problem) encountered this does not show any project directories on start up (as described above), but if I create a ...\name\name Flutter project now, it will recognize the name_android project directory, however, not the base one.

Still on Windows, but now using Android Studio 3.2.
