Overview of this book

There have been many attempts at creating frameworks that are truly cross-platform, but most struggle to create a native-like experience at high performance levels. Flutter achieves this with an elegant design and a wealth of third-party plugins, making it the future of mobile app development. If you are a mobile developer who wants to create rich and expressive native apps with the latest Google Flutter framework, this book is for you. This book will guide you through developing your first app from scratch all the way to production release. Starting with the setup of your development environment, you'll learn about your app's UI design and responding to user input via Flutter widgets, manage app navigation and screen transitions, and create widget animations. You'll then explore the rich set of third party-plugins, including Firebase and Google Maps, and get to grips with testing and debugging. Finally, you'll get up to speed with releasing your app to mobile stores and the web. By the end of this Flutter book, you'll have gained the confidence to create, edit, test, and release a full Flutter app on your own.

Summary

In this chapter, we have seen how gesture handling works in the Flutter framework, along with the methods for handling gestures, such as tap, double-tap, pan, and zoom, for example. We have seen some widgets that use GestureDetector by themselves to handle gestures.

We then looked deeper at the life cycles of stateful widgets so that we could use this new knowledge to explore input widgets and access their data.

Finally, we extended this knowledge of input widgets by exploring the use of the Form and FormField widgets to properly validate and handle user data.

In the next chapter, you will put together the widget knowledge you have gained from the previous two chapters to create full app pages and navigate between them using the Route concept.
