Hello, @Zeng1998! The problem may be that Android Plugin is disabled in your settings. Could you please check if it is enabled? Follow Settings -> Plugins (in the menu bar on the left side) -> Installed (right tab on the appeared screen).

Hello, @mazunin-v-jb , thanks your reply. I have made some retries and now there is something new.

I download a new project generated by https://kmp.jetbrains.com and open in IDEA directly. It contains Android, Desktop, and WASM.

Now, all modules are accurately detected. But there are still some that confuse me.

1. For the desktop app, it's easy to run by just opening main.kt and clicking the 'run button'.

2. For the WASM app, I open main.kt but there is no 'run button'. Is this because IDEA has not yet supported this experimental feature? Of course, I can find the corresponding running command in Gradle.

3. For the Android app, I open MainActivity.kt and there is no 'run button' either. But I can find a run configuration named 'composeApp' in the IDEA.

Overall, I can run all the apps so far, but it still looks a bit complicated and may require a clearer understanding of the Gradle configuration files for me.
