Flutter Emulators - Unable to find Emulator sources - Android toolchain / Android SDK not found

In this video I am showing a quick solution to the error: "Unable to find any emulator sources. Please ensure you have some Android AVD images available.", which comes after running the command: "flutter emulators". This error led to the fact that I was not able to start any emulator from my terminal in Android studio. Running Flutter doctor showed the real underlying problem: Android toolchain / Unable to locate Android SDK

Thank you so much, my new friend. I'd looked all over for a solution until I ran into your video. It worked "flawlessly" ... until ...
I ran the app and got a long list of errors .. thankfully ending with the version of Android Studio was out of sync with the command line tools (hard to believe).
But after editing the build.gradle file and updating compileSdkVersion from 29 to 31 the app finally ran.
Days like these ... ... ... David

Thanks dude! I was 95% of the way there, but just missed one crucial piece of information, and your video was a quick and easy way to get that information. Good job 👍
