Building Instructions

  • It's best to just work on this on Android - the ios setup is far more complicated and I haven't managed to automate it.

Environment Setup

  1. Install Flutter v1 through official guidelines. The last v1.22.6 will do.

  2. As a part of flutter installation, you will need to install Android Studio

  3. Use AVD manager from Android Studio, to create device for local development.

  4. Run command flutter run --flavor dev --debug: it will connect to available device and run program.

    1. Or you can run flutter build apk --flavor dev --debug and see apk under build/app/outputs/apk/ folder

  5. You will see application on emulator, you are all setup. You can start with app.dart file to exploring code.

Trouble Shooting

IDE Setup

VS Code has great plugin for flutter, but you need to add args to launch.json. Example launch.json:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Flutter",
      "request": "launch",
      "type": "dart",
      "args": ["--flavor", "dev"]
    }
  ]
}

Debugging with breakpoints

To use Android Studio's debugger with breakpoints:

  • Open your local repo with Android Studio.
  • Android Studio should already have a Flutter Run Configuration named "main.dart", visible at the top of the window.
  • Edit this run configuration. For "Build flavor", type "dev" and save the configuration.
  • On the top bar of Android Studio, with "main.dart" selected, click the debug button (it has hover text "Debug main.dart").
