This blog walks through building a clean, modular service layer in Flutter to keep mobile apps scalable, maintainable, and resilient to change. Using real examples with third-party APIs, it demonstrates how to abstract logic, structure code for API calls, and easily swap data sources without major rewrites. Youโll also learn strategies like creating request/response classes and centralizing error handling to reduce redundancy and improve code quality.
Deploying a mobile app is often more difficult than building it. In this guide, we simplify the confusing, often poorly documented process of deploying a Flutter app for internal testing. Learn step-by-step how to distribute your app through Google Play Internal Release and Apple TestFlight, so real-world testers can start using your app sooner.
Are you developing an AI-powered application but unsure whether Flutter or .NET MAUI is the right framework for your project? The decision you make can significantly impact performance, scalability, and development efficiency, so itโs essential to choose wisely. Both Flutter and .NET MAUI offer strong cross-platform development capabilities, but they have distinct differences when it comes to AI model support, …
Mobile application developers constantly seek innovative methods to craft apps that resonate across diverse platforms. This quest has given rise to cross-platform mobile development, a strategy aimed at creating applications capable of seamlessly operating on various platforms, such as iOS and Android, utilizing a unified codebase. Unlike conventional native development, which necessitates separate coding for each platform, cross-platform development simplifies …
As a mobile developer, I have had to create a lot of listing pages. The content, styling, and layout may all differ, but structurally, they are the same. When I first started using Flutter, I was immediately impressed by how fast they are to stand up. Nearly out of the box, the ListView and the Card work extremely well and support a wide variety of devices and use cases with no additional styling – all while remaining extensible.
With this in mind, when I needed to create a listing page that displayed variable lengths of pre-generated text that could be expanded and collapsed, I was not particularly concerned about the complexity of the task. However, I very quickly realized that Flutter is less optimized for handling large blocks of text than it is for displaying lists. I quickly encountered unexpected complexities that I had to manually account for. In this post, Iโll walk through the basic structure and explore which components can be used for solving this problem and creating collapsible text in Flutter.
