The Flutter framework, based on Dart (a concise and modern programming language), is a reactive, declarative UI framework designed for building natively compiled cross-platform applications. Its first-class tooling environment and rapid app prototyping allows developers to seamlessly build and iterate on app designs.<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more about why we&#8217;ve decided to release an ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter, see our <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/developers\/developers\/arcgis-maps-sdk-flutter-beta-coming-up\/\"><em>previous blog post<\/em><\/a><em>. <\/em><\/p>\n<h2><strong>ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter beta<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Flutter Maps SDK combines the benefits and features of Flutter with the geospatial capabilities and location awareness of the <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.arcgis.com\/documentation\/mapping-apis-and-services\/apis-and-sdks\/#native\">ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps<\/a>! If you are already familiar with the family of Native SDKs, you\u2019ll feel right at home with features in this first Flutter Maps SDK beta such as mapping, geocoding, routing, and offline APIs.<\/p>\n<p>As a beta product, the SDK will see functionality added in phases. This first beta focuses on foundational 2D online and offline map viewing, geocoding, and routing, along with data editing workflows. We will be adding functionality with each new release until we&#8217;re at parity with the other Native SDKs. Please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/earlyadopter.esri.com\/flutter\">Early Adopter site<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>To give you an overview of the functionality within the Flutter Maps SDK beta, we\u2019ve provided an <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/esri\/arcgis-maps-sdk-flutter-samples\"><strong><em>ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter samples repository<\/em><\/strong><\/a> on GitHub.

In the Flutter Maps SDK beta, the ArcGISMapView class itself is also a widget, allowing you full control over where you place your map on your application. For example, you can wrap it in a Flutter Stack widget and layer UI controls over the top, or you can wrap it with a Flutter Expanded widget to fill remaining space in your app\u2019s screen.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2304322,"id":2304322,"title":"StackWidget","filename":"StackWidget.png","filesize":66897,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/developers\/announcements\/announcing-arcgis-maps-sdk-for-flutter-beta\/stackwidget","alt":"Flutter code","author":"10242","description":"","caption":"An example widget tree showing the ArcGISMapView widget within a Stack widget in the Set Basemap sample","name":"stackwidget","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2300912,"date":"2024-04-11 17:12:10","modified":"2024-04-11 17:13:58","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":838,"height":378,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":209,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":346,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget.png","large-width":838,"large-height":378,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget.png","1536x1536-width":838,"1536x1536-height":378,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget.png","2048x2048-width":838,"2048x2048-height":378,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget-826x373.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":373,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/StackWidget.png","wide_image-width":838,"wide_image-height":378}},"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>You can also easily refactor widgets in your chosen IDE for Flutter by wrapping existing widgets in new ones or removing them depending on app design requirements.
