It\u2019s been an exciting tour from \u201cIntroducing Flutter\u201d<\/a> to now \u201cbuilding your first application using Flutter.\u201d So far, we have covered almost everything in our Flutter series. It\u2019s high time we end the series by learning to build a basic Flutter application so that you get everything under one umbrella. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part about Flutter is that you do not have to spend months learning new languages and frameworks. The process of mobile app development has never been easier with Flutter. Primarily because this technology offers you an advanced level of software kit compiled with all plugins and widgets. For a product owner developing an application with Flutter is no more than an exciting story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With other databases and software environments, it’s a never-ending battle between Android and iOS. However, with Flutter, you have fewer concerns. So let’s start our final ride by creating a brand new Flutter application together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we start with the development life cycle, let’s quickly glance at a few essential highlights from the past series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flash Highlights of Flutter: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Despite being a brand new technology (launched in 2017), Flutter is used by 39% of the developers<\/a> worldwide. It will not be surprising if we tell you that Flutter has managed to secure the second position in the topmost preferable framework in cross-platform development. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    1.  Flutter uses Dart<\/a> as its object-oriented language that works on advanced techniques and compiles the information into native code up to a remarkable speed. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      1. Flutter utilized the OS in the form of a Canvas base to create an interface and build services such as animations, gestures, and rendering. Meanwhile, you will have complete control over the system to implement services into the framework. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        1. Compared to other framework and software environments, Flutter has a mild learning curve along with growth opportunities. This allows developers and product owners with a limited programming language to experiment. So you get started with Flutter, even if you are new to the platform. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          1. Flutter specializes in ready-made and custom widgets for fast UI coding that allows you any level of customization.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
            1. Flutter boasts about its hot reload feature that can elevate the programming speed and ultimately yield productivity to experiment with new things without you bothering about lengthy delays. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              1. As mentioned previously, Flutter applications are best known for their high performance since they run on CPU usage, no. of frames per second, average response time, no of requests per second, etc. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                1. Flutter also provides you with excellent portability and migration from any platform. \u2018<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  What Do You Get In A Nutshell? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  We are sure all these functionalities and features of Flutter make you dig deeper to get started with your first Flutter application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Now, you must be wondering how we can possibly create a Flutter application without any technical expertise. All your answers lie ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Creating Your First Application With Flutter : <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  Flutter is one remarkable easy-to-use technology for application development. Therefore, at the time of writing, we have focused on both technical and novice aspects keeping this article simple and straightforward for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Before hopping to the tutorial, we would remind you that you might need XCode<\/a> for iOS development and Android Studio<\/a> for Android development. Therefore, it’s best to set up the environment beforehand to make the app development<\/a> process smoother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Make sure you have ANDROID STUDIO VERSION 3.0+<\/a>. In case you don\u2019t, you can follow these simple steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Step 1: Install Android Studio : <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
                  \"Android<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

                  Android Studio provides you with a complete integrated IDE experience for Flutter. On top of this, you can utilize the Flutter SDK <\/a>for any required text editor development experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  However, IDEs come with functionalities such as Syntax highlighting, debugger, and code completion, which can prove to be really effective in the development process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Now that you know we are starting with Android, there are two alternatives available for you. Android Studio is recommended if you are a tech expert or taking services from a mobile app development company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Alternatively, you also have the option to use the Flutter plugin IntelliJ :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Here are two core versions that you can use: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Version 2017.1<\/a> or later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  IntelliJ IDEA Community Version 2017<\/a>.1 or later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  In case you decide to use both Android Studio and IntelliJ; keep in mind that you have to restart the IDE to activate your recently launched plugins. Also, this will save you adhering to the stable IDE versions since Flutter plugins do not run properly on Canary, Beta or EAP builds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Step 2: Install Flutter and Required Dart Plugins <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                  You can follow this with the help of reliable Flutter application development services or on your own to start your project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
