[flutter_tools] Lazily initialize AndroidSdk platform and build-tools discovery (#191972) ## Description This PR optimizes `AndroidSdk` initialization by deferring expensive synchronous filesystem operations out of the constructor. ### Why this is needed now As part of the modular dependency injection migration ([#190724](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/pull/190724)), context objects like `AndroidContext` are created upfront during `ToolDependencies.bootstrap` / runner initialization rather than via the old global ambient context (`AppContext`). Previously, `AndroidSdk` was initialized lazily only when a command or service queried `globals.androidSdk` or `context.get<AndroidSdk>()`. With upfront `AndroidContext` creation, `AndroidSdk.locateAndroidSdk()` runs on tool startup for every command. Because the `AndroidSdk` constructor eagerly executed `reinitialize()`, it performed synchronous directory listings across `build-tools` and `platforms` directories and read `build.prop` files on disk. This introduced unnecessary disk I/O and latency to tool startup, including for commands completely unrelated to Android (such as `flutter config` or iOS-specific workflows). ### Changes - Defers synchronous scanning of build-tools and platform directories (`reinitialize()`) out of the `AndroidSdk` constructor so that object instantiation is fast and side-effect free. - `sdkVersions` and `latestVersion` are evaluated lazily on first access. - Retains `_fileSystem` on the instance so that explicit calls to `reinitialize()` continue to refresh platform and version state with the expected filesystem. ## Related Issues Part of [#47161](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/47161) (flutter_tools modular dependency injection migration). ## Tests - Updated existing test in `packages/flutter_tools/test/general.shard/android/android_sdk_test.dart` (`constructing an AndroidSdk handles no matching lines in build.prop`) to access `sdk.latestVersion` so that `build.prop` parsing error-handling is executed during lazy initialization. - Added unit tests verifying: - Constructor instantiation does not initialize `sdkVersions` or `latestVersion` or scan platform directories. - `sdkVersions` and `latestVersion` evaluate lazily on first access across independent instances. - Calling `reinitialize()` updates `sdkVersions` and `latestVersion` and correctly falls back to stored `_fileSystem`.
Flutter is Google's SDK for crafting beautiful, fast user experiences for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.

The Flutter tool may occasionally download resources from Google servers. By downloading or using the Flutter SDK, you agree to the Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
For example, when installed from GitHub (as opposed to from a prepackaged archive), the Flutter tool will download the Dart SDK from Google servers immediately when first run, as it is used to execute the flutter tool itself. This will also occur when Flutter is upgraded (e.g. by running the flutter upgrade command).
We think Flutter will help you create beautiful, fast apps, with a productive, extensible and open development model, whether you're targeting iOS or Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux or embedding it as the UI toolkit for a platform of your choice.
We want to enable designers to deliver their full creative vision without being forced to water it down due to limitations of the underlying framework. Flutter‘s layered architecture gives you control over every pixel on the screen and its powerful compositing capabilities let you overlay and animate graphics, video, text, and controls without limitation. Flutter includes a full set of widgets that deliver pixel-perfect experiences whether you’re building for iOS (Cupertino) or other platforms (Material), along with support for customizing or creating entirely new visual components.
Flutter is fast. It's powered by hardware-accelerated 2D graphics libraries like Skia (which underpins Chrome and Android) and Impeller. We architected Flutter to support glitch-free, jank-free graphics at the native speed of your device.
Flutter code is powered by the world-class Dart programming language, which enables compilation to 32-bit and 64-bit ARM machine code for iOS and Android, JavaScript and WebAssembly for the web, as well as Intel x64 and ARM for desktop devices.
Flutter offers stateful hot reload, allowing you to make changes to your code and see the results instantly without restarting your app or losing its state.
Flutter works with any development tool (or none at all), and also includes editor plug-ins for both Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ / Android Studio. Flutter provides tens of thousands of packages to speed your development, regardless of your target platform. And accessing other native code is easy, with support for both FFI (on Android, on iOS, on macOS, on Linux, and on Windows) as well as platform-specific APIs.
Flutter is a fully open-source project, and we welcome contributions. Information on how to get started can be found in our contributor guide.
