This issue is a parity inconsistency between regular Android projects and Flutter Android projects. Apparently this is not a bug within Android Studio as there are some complains (here or here(this also has an technical explanation that might be valuable)) about it in the Android Studio's issue tracker and they mention this should be addressed to the Flutter Plugin team.

Steps to Reproduce

1)Create a new Flutter project using the flutter plugin 2) Go to Settings > Tools > Emulator 3) Check "Launch in a tool window" option 4) Save changes and close the settings window. 5) Go to AVD manager and start an emulator

Actual result: The emulator is being started as a new windows app (see attached screenshot). Expected result: The emulator is started in the tools section of Android Studio (embedded).

The Flutter plugin does not launch the emulator in an embedded view. To do that you need to use the Android Studio Device Manager. If you don't see the Device Manager in the View > Tool Windows menu then refer to https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/5464 for details on adding an Android module to your project, which will enable it.

@stevemessick Thank you, the fix you mentioned in here is working, I am now able to launch the emulator in the tools window. However, wouldn't it make sense to have the flutter plugin add the module automatically when creating the project in the first place?

Yes, that is the topic of #5464. I'm leaving this issue open as a reminder to added embedded launch mode to the Flutter plugin.

@stevemessick I see you closed https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/5464 so I assume this item can also be closed

@Gabriel2048 I don't know. I have not tested this feature yet.

No, this issue is not fixed. However, I'm closing it as a dup of #5917, since that one is asking for even more.

Re-opening since the other has two topics and this isn't the first.

@stevemessick isn't this fixed by https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/pull/6279?

Yes, thanks. Closing.
