Flutter Setup for Windows

-
Step 1 − Go to URL, https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/install/windows and download the latest Flutter SDK. As of April 2019, the version is 1.2.1 and the file is flutter_windows_v1.2.1-stable.zip.

Step 2 − Unzip the zip archive in a folder, say C:\flutter\

Step 3 − Update the system path to include flutter bin directory.

Step 4 − Flutter provides a tool, flutter doctor to check that all the requirement of flutter development is met.

Step 5 − Running the above command will analyze the system.

The report says that all development tools are available but the device is not connected. We can fix this by connecting an android device through USB or starting an android emulator.

Step 6 − Install the latest Android SDK, if reported by flutter doctor

Step 7 − Install the latest Android Studio, if reported by flutter doctor

Step 8 − Start an android emulator or connect a real android device to the system.

Step 9 − Install Flutter and Dart plugin for Android Studio. It provides startup template to create new Flutter application, an option to run and debug Flutter application in the Android studio itself, etc.,

  • Open Android Studio.

  • Click File → Settings → Plugins.

  • Select the Flutter plugin and click Install.

  • Click Yes when prompted to install the Dart plugin.

  • Restart Android studio.

Developers increase productivity ten-fold. This increase in productivity comes from Flutter’s “hot reload” “Stateful Hot Reload” and “Hot Restart”. Together, these allow developers to see changes they make to the state of an app in less than one second; and changes to the app structure in less than ten. 3. Frontend & Backend with a single code Unlike in Android coding, where there are separate files for fronted (Views) which are referenced by backend (Java), flutter uses a single language (Dart) which does both the job and uses a reactive framework. 4.
