Flutter is an open-source software development kit (SDK) created by Google to support cross-platform application development for online and in the most popular consumer operating systems. Understanding Flutter’s user interface (UI) approach can help unlock robust application development across all these environments.

This course will introduce you to the core concepts of responsive and adaptive UI in Flutter. You’ll start with common layout widgets before exploring application development using the most powerful widgets. Next, you’ll explore external packages that can extend responsiveness and adaptiveness beyond the core Flutter UI. At each step, you’ll see examples comparing and contrasting responsive and adaptive UIs with applications that do not invoke these principles. Finally, you’ll build functional widgets and application UI with hands-on coding environments

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build user-friendly applications in Flutter using responsive and adaptive UI principles.

Responsive and Adaptive UI in Flutter

In this challenge, we’ll start with an application screen that works in portrait mode on smartphones, but doesn’t work in landscape mode. We’ll challenge ourselves to find a solution by using `MediaQuery` and `LayoutBuilder`. Run the following code:

Apply what we’ve learned about using different widgets depending on the size of the screen.
