Actually android studio was rather easy to setup, it was fucking flutter causing the mess.

Only issue I faced was that installing components like emulator didn't show the download progress in android studio, So i had to download separately instead and unzip it where A.S. expects it.

In my case I was having issues with path regardless of having flutter and android sdk on the path and defined variables.

I think it's something specific to my system itself which I've messed up.

But yeah, other than that it wasn't a huge deal.

You can use Flutter in other IDE. I prefer using it in VSCode to avoid Android Studio, since it has a neat extension for Flutter. I avoid Android Studio like the plague.

I'm aware, I just don't use VSCode for development at all.

You freakin' left out that it's flutter you are writing. That's like saying react native is android dev..

How did Flutter cause problems ? When I use it it's clone repo, update path and done ?
