when i first tried idx, the flutter android emulator was finicky but did work. now, i can not get it to work. just tried on a new template (new project based on the flutter template), and again the web preview works, but the android emulator does not.
I like idx, but without that, there is little value in it (at least for mobile dev in flutter).
could google just fix the flutter template so that it works out of the box? does it work for anyone? i’m litterally just creating a new project and i haven’t touched any code whatsoever and it doesnt work.
hey, i’m 100% with ya, imho, the emulator is lacking a lot, but it does work, and is relatively stable.
one thing i do is disable the web preview so only the android emulator is running, makes viewing the output - idx log easier to read. although that does make you need to manually launch, hard-reset, the emulator almost every time you start idx, after localhost:5555 is up, since there is a bug with it not properly doing wait-for-device. bug has been logged…
what sort of errors/msgs do you see in output-idx when in the basic flutter template?

bummer, nothing unusual in the output that i see.
what happens when you try a hard-restart?
just get stuck at that screen?
or from terminal, flutter run, selecting 5555,
I suppose if you try to run debug mode, you end up at the same screen in the emulator too?
