Flutter App Development Services

 

Flutter From Scratch

Flutter is fast becoming one of the most popular frameworks for developing cross-platform mobile apps. Most Android and iOS developers today are start to agree that it's a speedily and more future-proof alternative to other cross-platform frameworks like as React Native and NativeScript.

Google itself is leaving no stone unturned to attract additional developers to it. For instance, Google I/ O this year had several in- depth sessions that focused on developing Material Design compliant apps with it. During one of the sessions, Google also announced that Flutter is going to be a first- class platform for Material Design.

In this series of tutorials, I am going to help you master the basics of developing Android apps with Flutter. In this tutorial, which starts off the series, I am going to focus on Flutter widgets, the structure blocks of all Flutter apps.

Prerequisites

To make the most of this series, you'll need:

·         the latest version of Android Studio

·         a device or emulator running Android API level 21 or higher

Configuring Android Studio

After installing a few light- weight plugins, you can use Android Studio, the IDE native Android app developer are most given to, to develop Flutter apps.

Start by launching Android Studio and choosing the Configure> Plugins option in the welcome screen.

In the dialog that pops up, press the Browse Warehouses button and search for the Flutter plugin.

Once you find the plugin, press its Install button. At this point, you will be asked if you want to install the Dart plugin as well. Press Yes to proceed.

After both the plugins are installed, press the Restart Android Studio button to complete the configuration.

Creating a New Project

After the continue, you will be able to see a Start a new Flutter project button on the Android Studio welcome screen. Press it to start creating your first Flutter project.

On the next screen, choose the Flutter App option and press Next.

You will now see a form asking for different details about your Flutter App, such as its name and place. Make sure you type valid values in all the fields.

The Flutter plugin does not come bundled with the Flutter SDK. Therefore, you must install the SDK individually. You can do so by pressing the Install SDK button now.

Depending on how speedily your Internet connection is, the installation may take quite some time to complete. After it's successful, you will be able to press the Next button to complete the project setup.
