31.6 Flutter Android App

20210327

With an Android device connected by USB flutter will find it (data sharing from the Android device is not required). If you happen to have your device connected to your computer, charging, whilst learning flutter, and you build for android, unwittingly you will end up with the app installed on that device! That is how easy it is to install a self-developed app on your device.

The command to install and then run the app on your Android device, assuming it is the first listed from the devices command, is:

$ flutter run

Launching lib/main.dart on SM G930F in debug mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'...                                  
Running Gradle task 'assembleDebug'... Done                      1,749ms
✓ Built build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk.
Installing build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app.apk...                25.5s
Syncing files to device SM G930F...                                 82ms

To quit from the remote app running on the device type q or else use d to detach from the device but leave the app running on the device.

Application finished.
