Flutter Getting Started - Creating your first app

In this video we create a simple Flutter app to understand some of the basic concepts.

You can find my Dart playlist here:

This is one of the best structured flutter tutorials, English with Afrikaans accent is like I feel home. All the best and regards from Namibia

I have noticed that hot reload is not working if you in runApp directly pass in MaterialApp. If separate core widget is created than everything works properly.

Not working example:

void main() => runApp(MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Hot reload not working')),
),
));

Working example:

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Hot reload works!!')),
),
);
}
}

Curious as to what theme you may be using to get the nice contextual menu at 8:19 in the video?

4:40 the code format doesn't work automatically anymore. Need to right-click the code and select format.

Let it be known that getting flutter to work properly in VS code can be a b*tch, especially with gradle. Patience and StackOverflow are your friends.

If you want to get rid of the blue squiggly lines, go into the yaml file and comment out flutter_lints: ^1.0.0
