  • Flutter Basics: the Good and the Bad
    Flutter Basics: The Good and The Bad Flutter has risen quickly as anapp development tool. Originally released by Google in May 2017, Flutter has been used by two million developers since. LinkedIn reports Flutter is the fastest-growing skill among software engineers. This excellent growth is fueled by users’ hopes that it’s an elixir to cure the coding experience of all maladies. Like anything, of course, Flutter has its shortcomings. Let’s take a look. What is Flutter? Flutter is built on the Dart programming language. Developed by Google, Dart was first unveiled in 2011. The language covers the major hot points that a modern language should: it is object-oriented, class-based, and has an added garbage- collector. It has the async, future options out-of-the-box. It has C-style syntax, so should look familiar to JavaScript devs—in fact, devs report they pick up the language quickly. Dart is intentionally simple. Ease comes with costs, so Dart can be executing extra, or less-refined, work in the background. Compared to writing the native code, Dart can be slower and less reliable than a native language. Dart is to JavaScript what Python is to C++. Flutter is an open-source tool for building UIs, particularly on mobile. An essential concept to Flutter is its widgets. Their motto, everything is a widget, is entirely true. All things are widgets. From building layouts with Scaffold and Material App widgets, to BLoC patterns and Provider Widgets, Flutter is built of widgets. Its layouts need to be hand- built, but a few developers created some layout playgrounds to let you build and print the code: mutisya.com flutterstudio.com In this code, you can see how a Text() widget is inside an AppBar() widget is inside a Scaffold() widget.

  • State Management and Software Architecture Approaches in Cross-Platform Flutter Applications
    State Management and Software Architecture Approaches in Cross-platform Flutter Applications Michał Szczepanik a and Michał Kędziora b Faculty of Computer Science and Management, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Wroclaw, Poland Keywords: Mobile, Flutter, Software Architecture, State Management. Abstract: Flutter is an open-source cross-platform development framework. It is used to develop applications for Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Linux, and web. This technology was released on December 4, 2018, and it is quite young technology with a lack of good architectural patterns and concepts. In this paper authors compared state management approaches used for Flutter applications development and architecture. They also proposed a combination of two approaches that solve the main problem of existing approaches related to global and local state management. The proposed solution can be used for development even complex and big Flutter applications. 1 INTRODUCTION the Java Script code runs in a separate thread and communicates with native modules through a bridge. Nowadays, almost all type of business needs a mobile Flutter, on the other hand, is ahead of time application to existing. The cost of its development compiled to a machine code (arm/x86) and provides depends on complexity and requirements according better performance and even security related to to market coverage. To reduce it usually hybrid or difficulties of reverse engineering (Kedziora, 2019). multiplatform (cross-platform) solutions are used. Not only the UI components are compiled, but the Unfortunately, this kind of solution usually uses whole logic also. Sometimes Flutter apps are even totally different patterns and architectural concepts faster than native Android application, but it depends compared to native Android or iOS applications.

  • Treball Final De Grau
    TREBALL FINAL DE GRAU Estudiant: Eduard Arnedo Hidalgo Titulació: Grau en Enginyeria Informàtica Títol de Treball Final de Grau: MushroomApp: a Mushroom Mobile App Director/a: Francesc Solsona Tehàs i Sergio de Miguel Magaña Presentació Mes: Setembre Any: 2019 1 MushroomApp: a Mushroom Mobile App Author: Eduard Arnedo Hidalgo Directors: Francesc Solsona Tehas` and Sergio de Miguel Magana˜ Abstract Background. Taking into account the mycological production of pine forests in Catalonia, more than 700 different species of mushrooms have been properly tagged and stored in a Data Base (DB). In this project we present MushroomApp. This App identifies mushrooms, by a simple image, from a corpus made up by the images of the DB. Supervised machine learning classifiers is an efficient mean for identifying mushrooms, and more specifically Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), so it was the one selected in this project. ANN models are created with Google Libray TensorFlow, positioned as the leading tool in the Deep Learning sector. Objective. The objective is to be able to create efficient ANN models using TensorFlow. In addition, we want to investigate a machine learning system to gradually improve our models. Methods. As there are many types of mushrooms, an important design decision was to mark the range of mushroms within the scope of the MushroomApp model. To implement the server we have used Python together with Django. The server is responsible for carrying out the operations of inserting new mushrooms and creating the TensorFlow models of the ANN. We will create these Models through Keras, a library that runs TensorFlow operations. The App is developed with Flutter to run the App on iOS and Android.

  • Google, Where Are You Taking Fuchsia and Should Android Care? 15 August 2016, by Nancy Owano
    Google, where are you taking Fuchsia and should Android care? 15 August 2016, by Nancy Owano Android Police."There's a massive ecosystem of operating systems designed for embedded hardware, and Google may be working on their own." Why would they call it Fuchsia? "When you begin to dig deeper into Fuchsia's documentation, everything starts to make a little more sense," said Davenport. As with the Linux-Android relationship, the Magenta kernel powers the larger Fuchsia operating system. Davenport offered some details about the rest of the system: "Google is using Flutter for the user interface, as well as Dart as the primary (Tech Xplore)—Projects or experiments at big programming language. The icing on the cake is technology companies go either way. Either they Escher, a renderer that supports light diffusion, soft fail to materialize into actual products but turn up shadows, and other visual effects, with OpenGL or some interesting lessons learned for company Vulkan under the hood." developers and architects. So where does Fuchsia sit on Google's OS food Those insights might even be re-used for different chain? Right now it is a project on GitHub. This target applications, end of story. The other could go a number of ways, said Davenport. direction is that, down the road in a year or three, the project evolves into something real that the It could turn out that Google treats Fuchsia "like company sells. Samsung treats Tizen OS; a lightweight OS used on hardware not suited for full-blown Android," Question of the month about Google now is which Davenport wrote.

Among all the banned 59 applications, CamScanner had been an integral part of daily documentation which allowed users from organizational, governmental, commercial, and academic backgrounds to convert the simple camera- clicked images of important documents into scanned PDF format digital documents. But after the ban of CamScanner, users faced a lot of inconveniences to create these despite the introduction of other alternative Indian scanning applications as these applications were less satisfactory in comparison to CamScanner. This paper studies various Indian and non-Indian scanning applications and a comparative study of the various features provided by these applications is done. This paper also focuses on the study of various flutter libraries and plugins that will be required to design the features of the scanning application such as multiple image picking, conversion of images into pdf, firebase ML for optical character recognition feature, etc.
