Answer 3

Genymotion settings -> Select ADB Tab -> Select

Use custom Android SDK tools -> Add Android SDK Path (Ex: C:\Users\randika\AppData\Local\Android\sdk)

Answer 4

From version 2.13.0 of Dart Code, emulators can be launched directly from within Code but This feature relies on support from the Flutter tools which means it will only show emulators when using a very recent Flutter SDK. Flutter’s master channel already has this change, but it may take a little longer to filter through to the dev and beta channels.

I tested this feature and worked very well on flutter version 0.5.6-pre.61 (master channel)

Answer 6

For those people using a Mac you can go to your terminal and type

$ open -a Simulator.app

and this command will open the simulator.

After that, just go to the Debug option and tap on "Start Debugging"

If you want to test with an Android Emulator:

What I did was to go first to Android Studio and open a virtual Device with AVD Manager. After that you'll see another devices in your Visual Studio Code

In the bottom right you'll see now that you have 2 devices connected. Now, you can test with any of this devices.
