Delete the .idea folder inside the root of the flutter project and restart Android Studio.

Refer to this question: What is the .idea folder? and make your decision if it's safe or not to delete .idea folder.

1) make sure flutter and dart sdk paths are properly configured from

File-> Settings..->Languages and Frameworks as well as make sure Dart support is enabled for project module from Dart Option

2) at the end select File->Invalid caches and restart

3) so after 2nd step you may get in File->Project Structure.. option from there Select Modules then just simply add only root folder path of your flutter project and repeat just above 2nd step for me this worked

If your ios, android, or lib folders are missing, it typically means there is something wrong with your project structure.

To fix it, delete the .idea folder in the root of your project and then restart Android Studio. If you're using a Mac, you can display the hidden .idea folder by pressing Command+Shift+Dot in Finder.

The .idea folder will be automatically regenerated and everything should be back where it belongs.

See this post for the original solution.

You can sync the files with Gradle, within the File menu.

Else You can re-include the files/project root folder inside the File Menu.

File -> Project Structure -> Module

And then add the root folder of the project(with + icon), then it will detect that it's a flutter app again, and then build and work again.

The .idea folder will also be deleted on Linux. When Andriod Studio opens, click terminal at the bottom in Android Studio. Then type remove -r .idea/ in the terminal and press enter. After deleting, close and restart Android Studio.

I have created 2 folders inside lib's folder for my *pages* and *widgets*.

I faced the same issue today and tried other solutions here but it wasn't worked at all.

In my case I deleted three folders that is android, ios, and .idea from project directory, then restarted android studio and finally I gave this command in Android Studio's Terminal.flutter create . to create appropriate directories (i.e., android & ios).

Now it is working fine.

Note: Before deleting the android / ios directory please make a backup of these directories only if you previously gave native code in android / ios directory.

Hope this solution will helpful if others will not work.

You might need to update the Gradle version. Or change the minimum android SDK version.

Here is worked for me:

Update Gradle / minSdkVersion version

Reopen the project but at the directory user/StudioProjects/yourFlutterApp/android. After it is opened it will load some packages (see right bottom), which will take some time.
It will ask you to update the Gradle version (right-left corner) or go under File>Project Structure Project you can set a higher Gradle version and under Modules variables of your build
Now you can sync your project with Gradle files

After configuration, you might need to restart your project with File>Invalid Caches/Restart....

I'm currently in Android Studio Electric Eel.

I've done all of the suggested solutions above, but nothing works.

Turns out the project is not detected as a Flutter project. So what I do to resolve this issue is to remove gradle-related files from the root folder:

build.gradle
gradlew
gradlew.bat
gradle/

For none of the provided solutions worked. What I had to do is save my work and then go File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Restore Default Settings...

This will reconfigure SDK paths (Android, Dart, Flutter). It may sound like a hustle but it works and it's not that difficult to configure the settings again with the current version of Android Studio. Using: Android Studio Flamingo | 2022.2.1 Patch

If you are facing the following issue in Android Studio

Error: Entrypoint isn't within the current project

Here is the solution for my case, Open File-> Project structure then select your project in module tab and also set dart sdk in dependencies tab.

Another Screenshot is here:

Hopefully, you've resolve your issue by these steps.
