How to develop a Bridge in Flutter between Dart and Native CodeFlutter allows us to call platform-specific APIs available in Java or Kotlin code on #android and in Objective C or Swift code on iOS.Flutter’s platform-specific API works with message passing.From Flutter app we have to send messages to a host on iOS or Android parts of the app over a platform channel. The host listens on the platform channel and receives the message. It then uses any platform-specific APIs using the native #programming language and sends back a response to the Flutter portion of app.Architecture overviewMessages are passed between the Flutter Code(UI) and host (platform) using platform channels. Messages and responses are passed asynchronously and the user interface remains responsive.On Dart side using (...)

This article was originally posted hereIn this tutorial, we will see how we can calculate the area of a region by integrating Google Maps in an Android App.Calculating area of a region on google map can be a very real requirement for people and organizations such as Surveyors, Architects, websites like 99 acres and so on. Calculating the area of very large regions such as geographical sites, monuments, bungalows is not practically possible with any measuring instruments.Although there are ways of doing that, they can be cumbersome and if someone requires just a rough estimate of the area, the hassle is not worth it.In such cases, this application can prove to be really helpful. It uses Google Maps to load the location and then with some customization, the user is able to mark the (...)

Today’s huge, expensive 4K TVs will be dinosaurs in a year or twoIn India, the TV has long been the main source of entertainment in most homes, with the cellphone still lagging far behind. Most families religiously follow the daily melodramatic soaps that rule the Indian TV landscape. This explains why Indians invest in expensive models. But having shelled out good money, they expect those TV to last for ten years or more. That’s bad for TV manufacturers but good for the environment as India is among the top five e-waste generating nations.However the smart TV revolution is finally reaching India, and it’s ever so slowly beginning to change that mindset.
