Every time I start Android Studio, I have to go through the same routine:

• Moving the mouse to the dropdown menu for Flutter Device Selection
• Clicking on "Refresh" so that Flutter Device Selection can find the emulators
• Selecting the emulator to start up

I feel that all of this is unnecessary work. Therefore, I looked for a way to automatically select the emulator instead of going through the same routine each time, but I couldn't find an option for that in the settings.

Do anyone have an idea about how to automate that work?

• flutter
• android-studio
• startup

• You can start emulator after starting android studio. this way it can detect and show selected. as that dropdown is meant for running devices – Hardik Mehta Commented 2 days ago
• It says no devices detected, anyway I found a solution using command line script at startup – Nader Commented 2 days ago

I found a solution using a script at startup of android studio.

From Settings > Startup Tasks > Add new configuration > Shell script > Choose for Execute: Script text > Script text: "flutter emulators --launch Pixel_6_Pro_API_34" > choose for Execute in the terminal > click apply or ok .

This works for me, it will force the emulator to launch on android studio startup.

You can surly change Pixel_6_Pro_API_34 to the device ID that u are using.
