"Creating a new project from existing source code" guidance is not valid anymore

@haqqi commented on Fri May 18 2018

From URL: https://flutter.io/using-ide/

Because the recent Flutter plugin for Android Studio, the guide for importing existing code is not valid anymore. I cannot find any menu of creating Flutter using existing code. If i try to create new Flutter app, it will show error if the existing folder exists.

Any idea how to import existing project properly in Android Studio?

Hmm!..i just clicked ‘open an existing android studio project’.

Disclaimer: I am an absolute beginner with flutter. Pls ignore if my answer above is not relevant.

NB: i did not say that Open an existing Android Studio project does not work. It works, but not perfectly just like when i created a new project of Flutter. For example, the project file browser is not displaying correct list.

So, what i did to continue existing project is:

1. Create new Flutter project, then close the Android Studio
2. Copy-Paste and replace my existing project to the new project
3. Open Android Studio again.

In the end, this issue is addressed to the both of guide page, and maybe flutter plugin for Intellij.
