Having a problem with Flutter Doctor on Arch Linux

Issue

I am running Arch Linux.

I have a problem where flutter doctor doesn’t recognize my Android Sdk.

My Flutter Doctor output:

As you can see, it doesn’t recognize my Android Sdk.
I tried this:

flutter config --android-sdk /home/tt/Android/Sdk/platforms/android-32/android.jar

and I got:

Setting "android-sdk" value to "/home/tt/Android/Sdk/platforms/android-32/android.jar".

You may need to restart any open editors for them to read new settings.

I ran flutter doctor but didn’t work. I restarted my machine and it still doesn’t work.

I already had Android Studio from the Toolbox Application. I tried installing it from the .tar.gz version. Still doesn’t work. I installed from the AUR, but nothing works.

Can you please help..

Solution

Try to set ANDROID_HOME in your environment variable.

On ~/.bashrc of you are using bash or ~/.zshrc if you are using zsh in the last line put

export ANDROID_HOME=[SDK-PATH]
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
