How can I open emulator or connect LD Player for flutter in VS Code?

Question

I want to develop flutter apps but I don't have enough RAM in my laptop (just 4 gigs). So, after lots of extensive research on the internet, I installed and setup flutter sdk, android sdk and VS Code. But when I try to run a sample app, I can't see list of any available emulators on my VS Code bottom-left screen. VS Code screenshot (see bottom left). I am not getting any kind of errors when I run flutter doctor command. Flutter doctor outputs in powershell. There's a folder in Drive C where I've installed the Android SDK named as "emulator". There's an executable file named emulator.exe as well but opening it does nothing. Emulator Folder screenshot. I also have an external emulator LD Player installed on my laptop but I am not able to connect it with the code editor i.e., VS Code.

Please refer to the links to see the images as I don't have privileges to upload images. I'm a newbie here and this is my first question. Thanks in advance!

Solution

You will need to activate ADB settings in your LD Player Emulator.

First, go to settings

Then, select other settings

After that, make sure that you have activated the ADB connection by selecting Open Connection

unfortunately this setting gets reset after each time LDPLAYER restarted and should be enabled again, for me open local connection works fine and adb can find the emulator
