I wonder how small this could be if using flutter. A few years ago they had a min size of about 5mb.
I've been thinking of trying flutter with a small app so I could share URLs to it and it would open them up in the archive.is version in Firefox on android.
I already made a PWA but Firefox PWAs don't accept text to be shared to them.
- themrredbeard 3y agoUnder 40kb *edit according to fdroid
- zamadatix 3y agoThat's the size of the current app which doesn't use flutter.
- nektro 3y agousing flutter would make it bigger not smaller
- lawgimenez 3y agoI am not sure if Flutter can handle different large files. I am not entirely sure if there was a file explorer app written with a cross platform framework.
- grishka 3y agoFlutter ignores most of the OS-provided functionality and packs half an OS worth of libraries into an app. That includes an entire UI framework and a bytecode VM with its own runtime library. "Flutter" and "small" can not be used in the same sentence.
- denysvitali 3y agoBut at least the app will look the same on all the devices/ Android versions without having to look like Android 2.0 because that's the minimum SDK you're targeting
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoI can live with looking like 2.0. I could use navigation from the top bar, however.
- grishka 3y agoI highly doubt Flutter can run on Android 2.x. Natively you can use a different theme depending on which Android version the app is running on. The 2.x one on 2.x, Holo on 4.x, and Material on 5 and newer.
- mpweiher 3y agoAgreed. Unless that sentence contains a "not" somewhere :-)
