Question posted in 
The syntax of the dartcode in my flutter project is no longer being highlighted and cannot click the declarations or do autocomplete of code, like typing: StreamBuilder( and then click enter to create the widget for a streambuilder.
See example code below, where normaly, the different elements would be coloured:
This problem occured after I installed intelliJ, I did this because I needed to write some javascript for firebase functions.
Tried this so far, with no luck:
- deleting android studio and re-install it.
- invalidate caches and restart.
- restart analyses server
- checked that dart and flutter has the right paths under ‘languages & frameworks’
- created a new flutter project, here everything works just fine. but if i copy in my codebase the issue persists
Im using android studios latest version.
EDIT:
Apparently I have some issues after all with the plugins. But as seen in the picture, I’ve given the paths to both flutter and dart.
Its somehow related to intelliJ because when i click the links from the flutter doctor output it takes me to jetbrains website

None of the suggested solutions worked out for me. What I did was then:
I think reinstalling Flutter and Dart plugin to Android Studio can help. Syntax highlighting is plugins’ job.
In my case, only one file had such problem. And it turned out I screwed up the file type association of the file when I created it.
Fix was to reassociate the file with Dart.
Go to the menu bar >> File >> File Properties >> Associate with File Type…
And in the dialog that follows, pick Dart and click OK.
You can choose as many files as you like at any one time.
The solution of yoppuyoppu worked for me, but as he mentioned, only for the selected files.
So here is a small addition that makes it work for all .dart files:
In the "Register New File Type Association" window you can change the File pattern to "*.dart".
And of course select Dart as shown.
That way all files ending with ".dart" will be associated with Dart.
