How to use Genymotion Desktop with VS Code?

  • Updated

Prerequisites

  1. Android Studio or platform-tools and build-tools package from Android SDK tools
  2. Dart Code extension for Visual Studio Code

Setup steps

  1. Install Android Studio or stand-alone Android SDK tools (see Install Android SDK tools without Android Studio). This is necessary for VS Code as it uses ADB to communicate with Genymotion.
  2. Setup Genymotion Desktop to use external SDK tools.
  3. In VS Code, install the Dart Code extension.
  4. Launch your test virtual device in Genymotion.
  5. The running virtual device should appear in VS Code when using the flutter devices command.
  6. Use the flutter run command to run your application in Genymotion.

Note

Genymotion virtual devices are detected as "devices" by flutter, not as "emulators".
