    Study Notes

    Mobile Application Development Lecture Notes

    • Lecture 9 focused on Flutter Database Concepts
    • Databases are organized collections of data for storage, manipulation, and access
    • Databases are structured into rows, columns, tables, and indexes
    • Databases are used to store various data types like text, images, files, etc.

    Database Packages in Flutter

    • Flutter offers sqflite and Firebase for database integration
    • sqflite: Handles SQLite databases, ideal for local storage in offline apps
    • sqflite use cases: user preferences, caching, small app-specific databases
    • Firebase: A cloud-based database, useful for real-time data synchronization, scalability, and easy integration with Firebase services
    • Firebase use cases: chat apps, collaborative tools, real-time update-requiring apps

    SQLite Database

    • SQLite is a lightweight, server-less relational database
    • sqflite plugin is used by Flutter to interact with SQLite
    • Key features: self-contained, zero-configuration, transactional SQL engine

    Steps to Use SQLite in Flutter

    • Add sqflite and path_provider dependencies to pubspec.yaml
    • Define a Model class to represent database data (e.g., Book class)
    • Open the database using openDatabase() and getDatabasePath()
    • Create a table to define the schema for storing data

    Introduction to Databases

    • Organized collection of data for storage, manipulation, and access
    • Data is structured using rows, columns, tables, and indexes

    Firebase Database

    • Best for real-time data syncing and scalable apps
    • Integrates smoothly with other Firebase services like authentication and analytics
    • Ideal for collaborative tools and cloud-based updates

    Flutter Animation

    • Animations enhance UI and user experience
    • Provide visual feedback and smoother transitions
    • Guide users and provide necessary context

    Types of Animations in Flutter

    • Implicit Animations: Easy to use, declarative; automatically animate properties when they change. Examples: AnimatedContainer, AnimatedOpacity, AnimatedPositioned.
    • Explicit Animations: Require more control; define animation behavior. Examples: AnimationController, Tween.

    Complete SQLite Example

    • Combining steps to integrate SQLite into Flutter
    • Defining models
    • Setting up database connections
    • Performing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations
    • Linking the database with the UI

    Key Components of Animation

    • AnimationController: Controls duration, direction, and state. Uses TickerProvider.
    • Tween: Defines beginning and ending values for animations.
    • Animation: Represents the animated value over time.
    • Curves: Define how the animation progresses over time.

    Hero Animations

    • A widget that seamlessly transitions between screens
    • Simplifies transitions between screens, providing visual continuity

    Staggered Animations

    • Sequence of animations with varied start times
    • Employ multiple controllers with different durations to stagger various widget animations

    Common Pitfalls and Best Practices

    • Avoid excessive heavy animations; improve widget tree optimization.
    • Use implicit animations (AnimatedContainer, AnimatedOpacity, AnimatedPositioned) for basic animations.
    • Use explicit animations (AnimationController, Tween) for custom and complex animations.
    • Avoid blocking the UI thread with asynchronous tasks.

    • Efficient animations -Keep animations lightweight for smoother operation. -Favor const constructors to reduce widget rebuilds. -Avoid complex animations on the main thread. -Monitor performance using Flutter Dev Tools.

    Understanding Key Components (Animation)

    • Explain various key components used in Flutter animations (AnimationController, Tween, Animation, Curves)

    Exploring Flutter

    • Layouts, Gestures, State Management

    Flutter Layouts

    • Row Widgets: Lay widgets horizontally. crossAxisAlignment controls vertical alignment (start, center, end, stretch).
    • Column widgets: Lay widgets vertically. Similar alignment controls as Row.

    Example Layout structure

    • Illustrates a visual layout using Row and Column widgets nesting to create complex layouts

    Layout a Widget

    • Sequence for building a layout using Flutter. Select a Layout Widget, Create a Visible Widget, Add the Visible Widget to Layout Widget, Add Layout Widget to Page.

    Single Child Widgets

    • Container: A customizable widget for painting, positioning, sizing of widgets. Used with custom margin, colors, sizing

    Padding, Center, Align, SizedBox

    AspectRatio, Baseline, ConstrainedBox

    • Customizing layout properties

    Multiple Child Widgets

    • Row, Column, ListView, GridView, Expanded, Table, Flow, and Stack

    Flutter Gestures

    • User interaction with the mobile app
    • Examples: touch, click, drag, tap.

    Pointers

    • First layer of user interaction
    • Handling events (PointerDown, PointerMove, PointerUp, PointerCancel) from the system

    Gestures

    • Representing user actions
    • Examples: tap, doubleTap, drag, longPress, pinch
    • Use GestureDetector for detecting these events.

    Flutter State Management

    • Manages how data changes reflect in the UI without needing to rebuild the entire UI.
    • Two main categories: 1.Ephemeral State (local State): State specific to the widget 2.App State (shared state): Shared across many widgets

    ChangeNotifier and ChangeNotifierProvider

    • Part of the provider package used for managing app state efficiently

    Introduction to Widgets

    • Base elements for building a Flutter application.
    • Different types of widgets for various purposes (visible & invisible)
    • Visible widgets: UI elements the user interacts with (Text, Button, Image, and Icon)
    • Invisible widgets: Widgets for layout and control (Column, Row, Center, Padding, Scaffold, and Stack)

    Text Widget

    • Displays text on the screen with customizable styling (font, weight, style, letter spacing, color).

    Button Widget

    • Performs actions when clicked
    • Options include FlatButton and RaisedButton

    Image Widget

    • Displays images from various sources (assets, file system, memory, network)

    Icon Widget

    • Displays icons from various sources

    Flutter Layout Widgets

    • Column, Row, Center, Padding, Scaffold, Stack

    Stateful and Stateless Widgets

    • Describe the differences in the functionality of these two widget types.

    Dart Features

    • Summarize Dart's key features
