Missing Database Inspector in Android Studio

I have tried to find my Database Inspector in Android Studio in multiple ways, but to no avail:

  1. View → Tool Windows → Database Inspector is not there
  2. Help → Find Action → Database Inspector cannot be found with the search function
  3. Deleting and re-downloading Android Studio: Error persists

What am I doing wrong?? How can I get my Database Inspector back?

Missing Android views in Flutter project?

I was working on a Flutter project and the typical Android related views were not present in the list of View → Tool Windows:

  • App Inspection
  • Logcat
  • Device File Explorer
  • Profiler
  • Emulator

For some colleagues they were visible for the same project. When I opened different Android / Flutter projects, they were visible for me too. But not for this particular project. Re-installing Android Studio did not help.

Solution: Enable the Android Facet

It turned out that I had to enable the Android Facet for this project:

  • Go to File → Project Structure
  • Choose Facets
  • Press the small + Button at the top
  • Select Android from the list
  • Confirm your project by clicking the project_name and press OK

This setting is stored locally in the .idea/project_name.iml. The .idea folder is excluded from version control in our .gitignore file. That is why re-installing did not help and other users had a different experience for the same project.
