Where is the "Sync Project With Gradle Files" option in Android Studio 3.5.3?


I'm new to Android Studio and I'm having trouble in finding the "Sync Project With Gradle Files"

option in Android Studio version 3.5.3. I'm currently developing applications with Flutter.

I did find out that in the previous version of Android Studio (I'm not sure which, sorry!), it seems that the "Sync Project With Gradle Files" option can be found by clicking File > Sync Project With Gradle Files OR at the toolbar.

(Attached are images regarding previous "Sync Project With Gradle Files" locations)

File

toolbar

However, I could not find it in my Android Studio version 3.5.3's File nor at the toolbar. There is no such option.

I am sorry if this question has already been answered else where or the question is a duplicated one. (This is also my first time posting a question in Stack Overflow) I would be very grateful if someone can help me with this...thank you in advance


Solution

  • This icon is not showing up because you are inside your Flutter project.

    If you open the Android project, that is inside your Flutter project, directly on Android Studio, an Icon will appear next to the AVD Manager (Device Manager) that looks like a little elefant with an arrow pointing diagonally to the bottom left corner. That is the button that does the action "Sync project with Gradle Files".

    The first time you open the Android project directly it may take a minute for that icon to not be greyed out, as Android Studio will be syncing all the files, as you'll be able to see on the bottom bar.
