How to limit window resize in Flutter Desktop
Hi there!
It has been such a looooong time since I wrote an article or even created a youtube ☹️ tutorial but hey, there’s good news 🎤, I’M BACK 🔥🔥🔥.
In the past few weeks, I have been working on a Desktop app using Flutter (you know one of those side projects you start then drop it then pick it up again…? yeaaaah!) and I had problems with the window screen resizing.
At some point, you can resize it such that nothing else displays which is an undesirable feature. Hence I started doing some research on how to limit the resize of the window.
After talking to a number of developers and also reading some articles, this effect can “only” be done natively. This requires editing some files for the MacOS, Windows and Linux file folder. This will be a bit stressful especially if the developer is not accustomed to these platforms, I did a deeper research by looking at the source code of existing Flutter desktop applications (FVM GUI) and discovered a google package that does it all for you 🔥🔥🔥 (flutter desktop embedding). Here is a simple example on how to use limit the window size of a desktop app:
After applying the above code example, it was all fixed!!! Whew!!!!..
And now, I have a functional and beautiful page.
And that’s all for now. I will share the progress of the desktop application I’m developing in due time ⏰. And if you need any clarifications on this topic, do well to reach out to me on twitter @_iamEtornam.
