Customize Error Widget App Flutter

Today is holiday Eid Mubarak in Indonesia. So Having much time to spend with family and hobby. And I want to say Eid Mubarak. And What I'm gonna share this today it's simple. It's related with ui widget error that we often face when something wrong with our ui widget. It could be like returning null inside BuildContext. Like screenshot above, I accidentally made the error but it could be real error next time lol.

So what the production build handle this kind of error ? It just show empty white screen. And this is what we want to customize it. It's better if we we show error message and one button to reset the app. So the user experience will be much better. 

Fortunetly the implementation is not hard to do. You just need to implement ErrorWidget.builder in main class with your error custom widget. As example below that I create. You can create your own class to customize the UI. Don't forget you need to pass one parameter to your class that's FlutterErrorDetails. 



The object will handle the error message then you can show it into ui screen. Therefore your screen will never be blank again in your production. And in development you can insert log to capture the error. That'll be benefit for your error tracking. Because there's possibility your screen will get this widget error.


Seems many flutter developer underestimate this powerful error. But if your app is already in production. You can feel the benefit using of this. If you find this useful, please subscribe and like. Haha this is not youtube. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the comment. Thanks for watching.

How to restart the app with flutter Android and iOS

Hi all, welcome back to my blog. And today lesson is about flutter again. I have a little problem when trying to resart the app directly from the app. So what I mean is I want to restart the app after users do something. Because if I don't do it, the app flow will be bad and the data that I want to refresh will be failed. So in my use case in my app is I want to restart the app after user sign in or sign out in my app. The reason is I need to restart all of the previous state. That's the easy way I can do, and I have some problems with camera plugin. The problem is happened only on android, so when you click sign in google/facebook, there'll be new page native from their sdk and making the app in inactive status. That'll will make camera bug, and it will make the app crash.

How to have ConstraintLayout inside ScrollView and ScrollView inside ConstraintLayout Android

Hai guys, last week I found a unique way to create layout Android look. You can see the title, that's actually what I want. I know it sounds weird but sometimes we need to create something that we might curious if it's in o n the internet or not. Why I'm using ConstraintLayout because it's almost same with iOS xcode. There is constraint where you can set top constraint, bottom constraint, left constraint and right constraint. So it's easy for me to design like what I want. But it's personal, it depends on you too. And fortunely you can combine ScrollView and ConstraintLayout. Because you need to worry when the height of your layout is high than real device height. And if you don't use UIScrollview your component will be unseen when the height of device is more small than layout that we design. Like my app, I want to use ConstraintLayout and ScrollView together. Maybe it can do with RelativeLayout or others layout. But something special that I want i
