Flutter Installation in Windows Operating System

Flutter is an open source framework to create high quality, high performance mobile applications across mobile operating systems - Android and iOS. It provides a simple, powerful, efficient and easy to understand SDK to write mobile application in Google’s own language, Dart. This tutorial walks through the basics of Flutter framework, installation of Flutter SDK, setting up Android Studio to develop Flutter based application, architecture of Flutter framework and developing all types of mobile applications using Flutter framework.


Features of Flutter

Flutter framework offers the following features to developers −
1)Modern and reactive framework.
2)Uses Dart programming language and it is very easy to learn.
3)Fast development.
3)Beautiful and fluid user interfaces.
4)Huge widget catalog.
5)Runs same UI for multiple platforms.
6)High performance application.

Advantages of Flutter

  • Flutter comes with beautiful and customizable widgets for high performance and outstanding mobile application. It fulfills all the custom needs and requirements. Besides these, Flutter offers many more advantages as mentioned below −
  • Dart has a large repository of software packages which lets you to extend the capabilities of your application.
  • Developers need to write just a single code base for both applications (both Android and iOS platforms.
  • Flutter needs lesser testing. Because of its single code base, it is sufficient if we write automated tests once for both the platforms.
  • Flutter’s simplicity makes it a good candidate for fast development. Its customization capability and extendibility makes it even more powerful.
  • With Flutter, developers has full control over the widgets and its layout.
  • Flutter offers great developer tools, with amazing hot reload.

Disadvantages of Flutter

  • Despite its many advantages, flutter has the following drawbacks in it Since it is coded in Dart language, a developer needs to learn new language (though it is easy to learn).
  • Modern framework tries to separate logic and UI as much as possible but, in Flutter, user interface and logic is intermixed. We can overcome this using smart coding and using high level module to separate user interface and logic.
  • Flutter is yet another framework to create mobile application. Developers are having a hard time in choosing the right development tools in hugely populated segment.


 Let us see how to install Flutter SDK and its requirements in a windows system.
Step 1 − Go to URL, https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/windows and download the latest Flutter SDK. 



Step 2 − Unzip the zip archive in a folder, say C:\flutter\ .


Step 3 − Update the system path to include the  flutter bin directory.


Step 4 − Flutter provides a tool, flutter doctor  to check that all the requirements of flutter development are met.
flutter doctor

Step 5 − Running the above command will analyze the system and show its report as shown below −

   
The report says that all development tools are available but the device is not connected. We can fix this by connecting an android device through USB or starting an android emulator.


Step 6 − Install the latest Android SDK, if reported by flutter doctor
Step 7 − Install the latest Android Studio, if reported by flutter doctor
Step 8 − Start an android emulator or connect a real android device to the system.
Step 9 − Install Flutter and Dart plugin for Android Studio. It provides startup template to 

  • create new Flutter application, an option to run and debug Flutter application in the Android studio itself, etc.,Open Android Studio.
  • Click File → Settings → Plugins.
  • Select the Flutter plugin and click Install.
  • Click Yes when prompted to install the Dart plugin.
  • Restart Android studio.

Image
         We have prepared a program for the Hello world in flutter using android studio.The hello world program is simple program we take one text in center that name is Hello World.Coming from an Android development background using Java and Kotlin, getting accustomed to the syntax of  Dart  and using  Flutter  took me no time. My first experiences playing around with them were actually quite a delight. hopefully this article will gear you up to start your Flutter journey. We use this configuration: Android Studio: Android Studio 3.6.3 Flutter SDK Android Virtual Device: Google Pixel 7.1  API Level : 25 ( Please start the emulator before the debugging of the program.) Hint: Double click on the emulator icon or select START from the right side (Play\Run) button.  Let us see how to make a simple flutter program for hello world. Step 1:  Open Android Studio and click on start a new flutter ...

what is Angular Architecture ?

-
 Angular is a popular open-source web application framework maintained by Google. It provides a structured architecture for building dynamic, single-page web applications. Angular's architecture is designed to encourage best practices, modularity, and maintainability in web development. The key architectural components of an Angular application include: 1. Modules:    - Angular applications are organized into modules, which are a way to group related components, services, and other code into cohesive units. Modules help with encapsulation and code organization. 2. Components:    - Components are the building blocks of an Angular application. They represent the UI elements of the application and encapsulate the logic and templates for rendering views. Each component typically has a TypeScript class file and an HTML template. 3. Templates:    - Angular templates are used to define the structure and layout of a component's view. Templates are typically wr...

Java Notes

1) What all datatypes you know in java? ->  Data type specify the size and value that can be store in variable.     DataType are divided into two group :    - Primitive datatypes include byte,short,int,long,float,double and char.    - Non Primitive datatypes include String,Arrays,Classes and Interfaces.ss 2) Can you give size required for each datatype? ->      DataType   Size   Description    -byte     1 byte       Stores whole numbers from -128 to 127    -short     2 bytes       Stores whole numbers from -32,768 to 32,767    -int     4 bytes       Stores whole numbers from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647    -long     8 bytes       Stores whole numbers from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807    -float     4 bytes  ...
