Getting started with Flutter mobile application development
Getting started with Flutter mobile application development
There are so many frameworks and development tools for mobile application development. but in this article, I discuss about flutter.
Flutter is an open-source UI development toolkit developed by Google. It is a cross-platform to develop both ios and android applications. In this case, it is much easier to develop both ios and android applications, because you need to write just one code base and it will both run ios and android. If you want to know more about flutter history, releases please refer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flutter_(software)
To develop mobile applications with flutter first you need to make a development environment for that you need to download flutter SDK, you can choose your Os and download it from the below link https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install after that you need to set path for the flutter. For that,
- Open your system properties.
2. Go to environment variables, open it and set the path for the flutter bin that you already downloaded.
after that in command prompt run flutter. Then you can see cmd like that,
It shows flutter successfully installed your machine.
then run flutter doctor in Command prompt it shows if there any error.
Then you need to install editor for the development you can choose VScode, IntelliJ IDEA or android studio as an editor. If you use VScode or IntelliJ you need to install dart and flutter extensions for your IDE. But I recommend Android studio. because I think it is much easy to set up and debug your applications using the Android studio. To download android studio, https://developer.android.com/studio
This is how to firstly make an environment for flutter application development. Let’s start the editor in the next article.
