In this article, I will guide you through the process of creating a frosted AppBar with a sliding element beneath it. The final result is presented at the top as it works in the media network application.

Continuous socket connection can be crucial to ensure correct app behavior. Whether it’s delivering real-time chat updates, stock prices, or in-app indicators, a reliable connection is vital.

One of the irritating problems with sockets is a sudden loss of connection. If the true cause is not visibly evident, i.e., unstable internet connection, then the disruption cause is often well hidden. To tackle this issue we can implement an automatic socket reconnection strategy. Let’s see what options we have in the industry-standard socket library for Dart — web_socket_channel.

I bet you all had situations when a designer made a cool-looking UI and you just thought “cool, but how to implement this”. The same happened to me when a saw this progress bar in Figma.

Good thing is that in Flutter it’s pretty easy to create custom views and they will look awesome on every platform, but sometimes you just need to remember all these things that you have learned in geometric, and math classes. ^{_{Yeah, we don’t always change the button’s color as someone thinks :)}}

This article describes how to develop a real-time weather prediction app in Flutter using the Tomorrow.io Weather API. The app consists of a single screen that displays the current weather and a 4-day daily forecast for a specific location. We’re creating this prediction app on Flutter because it is an open-source UI development kit, which means it can be integrated beautifully into desktop and mobile apps across various platforms, making it scalable. 

In my project, I was faced with the need to implement a scroll bar. The standard approaches didn't fully satisfy what designers wanted to see. Here is an example, it is slightly different in appearance from what I needed, but the essence is approximately the same: the scroll bar should be on the right side of the list and take into account the padding of the scroll bar, with the slider displaying the percentage of the scrolled part of the list.

As we all are aware of the fact that the digital market is heavily leaning towards a reliable UX-driven process, app development has become quite complex, especially for targeting the industry for mobile platforms.

For every organization, creating a product that is beneficial for their customer needs always comes up with a plethora of challenges. 

From the technical point of time, there are various challenges that every business faces, including selecting the right platform for the app, the right technology stack or framework, and creating an app that fulfills the needs and expectations of customers.  

Similarly, there are more challenges that every business faces and needs to cope with while creating its dream product. 

So, what to do??

Well, what if I say that the answer to all your queries and questions is Flutter app development with Artificial Intelligence (AI)  integration……

Surprised? Wondering how? 

Well, AI in Flutter app development is one of the best advancements in the software market. The concept of AI was first introduced during the 20th century with loads of innovations and advancements that we are still integrating into our mobile app development. 

But, what are Artificial Intelligence and Flutter app development? 

In this article, I’d like to talk about the problems I faced while integrating an API for the HTTP protocol and share my experience in solving them.

- REST vs Non REST architecture

- Ignoring Header Accept: application/json

- Mixing JSON keys case types

- Different response to the same request

• Dart 2.5 will support calling C code and intelligent code completion.
• Flutter 1.9 will support iOS 13, macOS Catalina, and new Material widgets.

Yesterday my friend said something like "I’m writing simple offline app, I don’t need these streams and all that jazz". I was confused, but I thought, that there may be other coders in this delusion.

Below, literally in 50 lines I will show, on known example that reactivity is:

a) not about offline/online
b) very easy
c) very good for simplifying almost any code
