Flutter Playground

Playground app for Flutter. Contains examples to quickly learn and tinker around with various features. Consider Contributing if you find this project helpful.

Open the live demo — the Flutter web build of this fork, published from the gh-pages branch. It is the same code as master, compiled for the browser; the app was designed for phones, so a narrow window looks best.

This is a maintained fork. The original project by Bhavik Makwana stopped receiving updates in 2021 and no longer compiled with current toolchains. This fork brings it back to life on Flutter 3.44 / Dart 3, keeping the original license and authorship intact.

What changed in the 2026 revival

The project had been untouched since May 2021: flutter pub get failed on dependency resolution, and 33 compilation errors waited behind it. High level summary — see CHANGELOG.md for the full list:

• Firebase Analytics/Core removed — the repository never contained a google-services.json, so the Android build could not complete.
• Flare example removed — flare_flutter is discontinued and does not support Dart 3. The Google Maps, AdMob and Local Auth files were fully commented out and were removed too.
• WebView migrated to webview_flutter 4 (WebViewController + WebViewWidget), with a fallback to the external browser on platforms without a WebView implementation.
• Android toolchain regenerated: Gradle 9.1, AGP 9.0.1, Kotlin 2.3, Kotlin DSL, Java 17.
• Material 3 theme, TextTheme and button APIs updated, keyboard example migrated from RawKeyboardListener to KeyboardListener.
• Test suite added (18 unit and widget tests), plus two long-standing bugs fixed along the way: an example listed on the home screen with no route behind it, and a setState() called after dispose() crash in the Progress Button example.

Supported platforms: Android, iOS and Web. iOS was updated to a minimum deployment target of 13.0 but could not be built on the machine used for the migration (Windows) — verify it on macOS before shipping.

Getting Started
