  [Flutter Tips] Remove the "DEBUG" banner of your Flutter app When you start coding a new application with Flutter, you  will surely see a banner with "Debug" text displayed on the top right corner of your app. To remove it, you will need to set the debugShowCheckedModeBanner property of the MaterialApp (or CupertinoApp ) widget to false . 🟢Here’s an example on how to do it: import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Flutter Demo', debugShowCheckedModeBanner : false, // This removes the debug banner home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: Text('No Debug Banner'), ), body: Center( child: Text('Hello, World!'), ), ), ); } } > debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false : This line ensures that the debug ban...

Mobile applications need wallpapers My mobile applications Actually, I'm developing some Flutter mobile applications. If you have already designed mobile apps, you must know that at some point, you will need picture assets and more specifically, background images.

Now, with AI tools (and a lot of imagination), you can design original content. So I propose to you to discover some of my creations.

If you like me, are coding generally in C# or other Camel case based programming language and start to  code in Flutter / Dart, you will always see a warning like this:   The variable name 'xxxx' isn't a lowerCamelCase identifier. Try changing the name to follow the lowerCamelCase style. To solve that, you can add a specific comment at the begining of each file where you have this issue. But maybe the most interesting thing for you is to do it only once in your whole project. For that, you have to edit the following file: analysis_options.yaml Add the following statements:  non_constant_identifier_names: ignore # This file configures the analyzer, which statically analyzes Dart code to # check for errors, warnings, and lints. include: package:flutter_lints/flutter.yaml linter: rules: # avoid_print: false # Uncomment to disable the `avoid_print` rule # prefer_single_quotes: true # Uncomment to enable the `prefer_single_quotes` rule # Disable the non_con...
