I'm not sure the database inspector works with Flutter apps. There are two things to try.

First, does your Flutter project have an Android module? You can check by opening the Project Structure editor (File > Project Structure menu). Click the Modules pane. If you don't see a module named Android then just add one using the + icon.

If that doesn't help, the second possibility is to open your android project as a top-level project in Android Studio. Select android in the Project pane then use the menu Tool > Flutter > Open Android module in Android Studio. Now we get to the speculative part; I'm not sure if you can even do what I have in mind. In the Android project (in Android Studio) try to attach the debugger to your running Flutter app. If you can do that, then maybe the database will show up, but I don't know.

Please let us know how things turn out.

I have android module in the project. Also, it was working with previous built where i can see the database and do operation respectively. Recent update of IDE causes the issue.

[stevemessick]

That screen shot does not show an IntelliJ module named "android". It shows your Flutter project supports the Android platform. I posted instructions to check for a module above.

If the IDE update broke this feature, then either they started requiring an android module (and you don't have one, which we do not yet know), or they changed something about the database inspector that made it incompatible with Flutter projects. You might want to try using an older version of the IDE to work with databases. You can try filing an issue with the Android Studio issue tacker, but they are often reluctant to address problems with Flutter projects.
