The instructions are valid for older versions of Android Studio. In Arctic Fox they redesigned the new project wizard, which broke our support for add-to-app. We currently do not support add-to-app in Android Studio.

I too am facing the same thing. Bumblebee does not show the options for flutter modules as author shows

Hi All So while creating a new project over the weekend I found out where the creation of a new flutter module is. I know it is not 100% the behaviour which we are looking for here to add a flutter module into an android app but it is a way to create the module from the UI. File -> New -> Flutter Project Click next button after confirming your flutter SDK path. The “Project Type” dropdown then contains options for Module and Plugin.

Ohh so its missing in the latest android studio version then it should be updated in documentation also.

I’ll see what we can do. I’ve scheduled it for the July release, and let’s hope we find the time!

One of the best things about Flutter is the great documentation you provide. 👓 But this issue broke that opinion.

Please, either solve this issue or change the documentation. Having not valid documentation wastes developer’s time. ⏳

In 2023 it’s becoming very actual for people to think more serious about either integrating Flutter as a module or replacing their existing application to Flutter. So helping Flutter developers with a good, valid and up to date documentation allows them to be more productive. 🏄‍♂️

@neiljaywarner thank you for hinting 😃 But you don’t know much about my knowledge. To be able to open a PR about the docs one should first understand what’s going on under the hood.

Galti on Feb 3, 2023

@neiljaywarner great, I’ll check out the command line interface’s equivalent for adding a Flutter module to an existing application. I found the documentation for that at https://docs.flutter.dev/development/add-to-app/android/project-setup#create-a-flutter-module

No updates in documentation, it’s so disappointing
