Add More Adaptive Widgets to Flutter
Explore how to expand Flutter applications with adaptive widgets using the flutter_platform_widgets package. Learn to implement PlatformText, PlatformTextField, and PlatformAlertDialog to create UIs that adjust automatically to Android, iOS, and web platforms. Understand the benefits and limitations of using third-party packages for adaptive design in Flutter.
We'll cover the following...
A Flutter application’s UI is adaptive if the application can change the design based on the platform it’s running on. For instance, an Android button is different from an iOS text button.
Some Flutter widgets can be created using a constructor named adaptive that will load the proper UI for the platform our application is running on. The number of adaptive widgets in the Flutter framework is limited, but we can use the flutter_platform_widgets package to get more in our applications. This package adds several adaptive widgets, but we’ll focus on a few interesting ones.
