It would open both example/android/ & android/ folders. Look carefully in the project pane.

I created a new Flutter Plugin Project and did Open Android module in Android Studio. Here is how it looks: app/ is from example/android/ & test_plugin/ is from android/.

Unfortunately, always I click "Open Android module in Android Studio " it opens only one Android studio project with example/android/ folder.
Could you add a screenshot of project pane? It opens both for me. It is actually the one that should be opened. It opens the example with the plugin code as dependency
I have edited my question by adding Screenshots, please take a look
Try this: flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/…
I was already on this page, but this can't solve the problem, alright thank you, I think I should reinstall Android Studio because it lagging sometimes, and the problem probably comes from it.

Just ran into this issue myself (again).

As pointed out by @TirthPatel (see comments), there is a Flutter suggested way of opening the project via Android Studio, see here, i.e.

Which file do I open?

Via Welcome Screen or File > Open, select the build.gradle file located in /path-to-plugin/example/android/gradle.build

No libraries/modules shown except app

This is a precautionary set of steps, one that I haven't resolved to a single action to address the problem.

You may find .idea folders, and .dart-tool.

  • .idea contains IDE specific configurations, etc (see this or this for some more info, though not specific for Android Studio)
  • .dart-tool contains dart related configurations and pre-build files (via build-runner, locales via i18n, etc. (see here or here for more info)

Note: these can be/are generated

I deleted .idea and .dart-tool folders in

  • /path-to-plugin/
  • /path-to-plugin/android
  • /path-to-plugin/example
  • /path-to-plugin/example/android

This worked for me:

  1. Right click the .iml file in Android directory, and
  2. in the right click menu select flutter->Open for editing in Android Studio.
