Hi 👋, everyone and welcome to a brand new tutorial series on Flutter.
Today, we’re going to learn how to convert a website into an app in a few minutes using Flutter, which as you may have guessed already from the title! If you want to know more about some cogent flutter Tricks and Tips and How to achieve tasks easily in Flutter, consider following me so you don’t miss any updates and subscribing to my YouTube Channel.

In this tutorial, we will create the first example of our webview application using flutter, and this is the simplest way to showcase a webpage in our app.
This series will be split into four because we're going to unveil four examples of a webview app we can use in a flutter application.
Kindly check out the PART ONE video on my Youtube channel. Kindly subscribe ✌
Let's get started
Firstly, we're going to use the flutter_webview_plugin package for PART ONE. Son install this package in your app by pasting it in your pubspec.yaml file.
Create a new dart file for the webview page and name it webApp1.dart or so 🤷♂️, after creating the dart file, then inside the file {webApp1.dart} create a StatefulWidget and name the class as you wish, I will name mine ## WebExampleOne 😎.
In the build widget, we're going to return the webview widget called ==> WebviewScaffold instead of returning a normal Scaffold widget 🤢.
But before that, you need to import our material widget and the flutter_webview_plugin widget as well
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_webview_plugin/flutter_webview_plugin.dart';
And that's all, we can now work on our WebviewScaffold, if you press CTRL + SPACE --> (Both Windows and Mac) inside the bracket of the WebviewScaffold( ) you will see a list of resources you can make use of while the URL is required,
url: 'https://obounce.net'
Then, after that you can just explore other useful methods you might need
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("O'Bounce Technologies"),
centerTitle: true,
elevation: 0,
),
withZoom: true,
withLocalStorage: true,
scrollBar: true,
withJavascript: true,
initialChild: Center(child: Text('Loading...')),
bottomNavigationBar: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(12),
child: Text('This is the bottomNavigationBar on a webview page.'),
),
persistentFooterButtons: [
CircleAvatar(
backgroundColor: Colors.purple,
child: Text('btn1'),
),
CircleAvatar(
backgroundColor: Colors.orange,
child: Text('btn2'),
),
CircleAvatar(
backgroundColor: Colors.red,
child: Text('btn3'),
),
CircleAvatar(
backgroundColor: Colors.grey[700],
child: Text('btn4'),
),
],
And that's all the major stuff we need 👌, You should check out the video for more explanation.

Why you are not using official webview_flutter package instead of flutter_webview_plugin where is not very big update activity for last 1 year? github.com/fluttercommunity/flutte...
This tutorial is in series, this is the first article on this topic latter in the series the official package will be used. Thanks for the info
So when you will use the official package in next series so why in the first article use some other not actively maintained package?
I don't understand it..
My opinion is that into tutorials we should use only active maintained packages otherwise it doesn't give a sense..
Well, flutter_webview_plugin is also an official package and I preferred it then to webview_flutter, because the first time I tried this package (webview_flutter) it has a lot of errors, that was long ago though, and that was the reason I started using flutter_webview_plugin.
The two packages achieve the same thing so it makes sense to me. Thanks
flutter_webview_plugin is not official package but it is community package.
webview_flutter is official package from flutter.dev team and support also null safety right now so you can use it in the newest Flutter version and Dart SDK.
Yeah, I know and I already answered you in the first place, this tutorial is in series and I will surely use the official package before the end of the series.
I have published this articles long ago on my medium and hashnode account am just resharing it here, so am not just writing this article am only just sharing it to this platform which I will update the series with the official package. I hope you understand. thanks
keep going
i think this neither packages are flutter favourite
