How to Fix Dart SDK Not Found in Android Studio

If you’re encountering the “Dart SDK not found” error in Android Studio while working on a Flutter project, it means the IDE cannot locate the Dart SDK installation. This issue usually appears after updating Android Studio, Flutter, or if paths are misconfigured. To resolve this, ensure the Dart SDK path is correctly set in the project structure. You can manually locate it inside your Flutter installation directory, under flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk. Then, open Android Studio > Preferences (or Settings) > Languages & Frameworks > Dart, and set the correct SDK path.

Alternatively, you can reinstall or upgrade Flutter using the command line:

flutter upgrade

Make sure Flutter and Dart plugins are installed and enabled from Settings > Plugins.

For additional help, refer to the official Dart SDK documentation.
