This guide outlines the conversion process for running existing Java-based Android apps on both web and mobile platforms through Dart, the language powering Flutter. This enables multi-platform deployment with a single codebase for efficient development and wider app reach.
This guide explores the process of migrating existing Android applications developed in Java to Dart, the programming language powering Flutter. By leveraging Dart’s capabilities, developers can achieve multi-platform deployment, extending the reach of their applications to both web and mobile environments. This approach offers several benefits, including code maintainability due to a unified codebase and the ability to leverage Flutter’s rich set of widgets and functionalities for a streamlined development experience.
