Not seeing the "Flutter" option when I right-click the android folder in my Flutter project in Android Studio Meerkat 2024.3.1

[vividcodecreative]

I just created a new Flutter project in Android Studio Meerkat (2024.3.1). I have installed the Dart (243.23177) and Flutter (83.0.4) plugins for Android Studio, and I see no issues when I run

flutter doctor --verbose

Here's the output:

According to the documentation: https://docs.flutter.dev/tools/android-studio

I should see Flutter > Open Android module in Android Studio

What do I have to do in order to see the "Flutter" drop-down menu when right-clicking the "android" folder of my Flutter project?

See also: #7103.

@jwren: is there a plan to restore this action? (If not, we should at least update the docs...)

[jwren]

Thanks @pq, yes we need to see if it is possible, and make a decision here.

This is a somewhat annoying change. Was there a reason for the removal of this feature?
