In this post I’ll explain about Enable View Device File Explorer And Logcat menu option and also at the same time fix for “Error Initializing ADB: Android Debug Bridge not found” issues.
In Android studio, if we want to see the app’s internal storage files, Generally we’ll go to View – > Tools Window -> Select Device File Explorer menu option as shown below.
Similarly we can select Logcat window to view app logs. But These options could be missing when we open Flutter app. and you cannot find these options in Tools window.
To Enable View missing Device File Explorer in Tools window, follow below steps.
- In Flutter app-> open File -> Project Structure.
- In Project Stucture -> Click Modules and click on + button at the top and then select Android as show below
- and then Click Apply and Ok button.
- Then you will see Logcat at te bottom, and Device File Explorer at the bottom right side. But when you open Device File Explorer, It will show Error Initializing ADB: Android Debug Bridge not found. as shown below.
- And Logcat window shows as below. To fix this open Logcat window at the bottom and click on configure link text.
- You will see Project Stucture window again, now here you should select the Module SDK as shown below, and then Click Apply and Ok.
- Now connect your Android device, you will see Logcat shows connected device.
- and Now check Device File Explorer window, It should show the connected device, If its not showing, just Close and reopen Project. You will see Connected device in Device File Explorer widnow.
Wooh ….. That’t it guys with these steps you can Enable View Device File Explorer And Logcat. Hope it helps somebody.
