Flutter - 3rd party JAR code will run from within Android Studio but not from VS Code

I'm using VS Code to develop a test flutter app that uses Symbol/Zebra's EMDK to interact with a barcode scanner. This involves some custom code on the Android side, which has been implemented, and if I open the Android code within Android Studio and run it on my device everything works fine, but if I then go back to my VS Code and try to run the flutter project I get an error "Unfortunately app has stopped". I suspect this is more of an issue around the 3rd part JAR file not being included when run from the VS code side, but I'm not familiar enough with where I need to include it (Gradle, IML files) in order to make it work. Any help would be appreciated.

You can create a libs folder, for example, which should be at android/libs and place your jar file there. Then add the following to your android/build.gradle file at the bottom:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: '*.jar', dir: 'libs')
}
