Building a Responsive UI Mobile App with Flutter: Tips & Tricks

Focus on Flex

[{"selector":"#anim-c9dd5e2a-42a5-4f00-96df-da7bb19425be","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca52f792-a229-48c2-957b-a1a112ebbadb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d45d7cc7-e393-4470-90ed-106dc071601b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5324a575-8f3f-4b21-9bb3-9586cca62794","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a6ddeb2f-18cb-4e12-a8ba-108ef6dde4ff","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 1294.77081%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Flutter's Expanded and Flexible widgets are for responsive layouts on mobile. They distribute available space proportionally within a row or column, ensuring elements resize and adapt to different screen sizes.

Prioritize for Small Screens

[{"selector":"#anim-54649fd2-6dd0-4984-a4f7-10c427d34747","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-78507aea-307b-4a83-8981-0a1fc2688d8e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 698.76577%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-027e4e4a-609c-418c-b960-e0d45fc127e0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7487aac3-1fb3-4273-bf70-7c02bacf87a6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-36eeb7db-b8e0-410c-8e8e-4ae089034084","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Design your UI with small screens in mind first. This ensures core functionalities and content display well on the most common mobile form factor. Larger screens can then be enhanced with additional features or layouts.

Optimize Navigation

[{"selector":"#anim-ac97dbf4-fac5-4b5d-a2ff-899ed974e4e7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e6806330-4fcf-42bb-a766-4a29f727e114","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 1294.77081%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f6e25a9e-10a1-40ec-9dd4-31866b22a513","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a821457-c4e9-42d0-9f37-dd971153669d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8cb2f5a2-38ac-4492-93b0-a5b645895e29","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Consider using a bottom navigation bar for mobile apps. They are familiar to users and provide easy access to core functionalities without overwhelming the limited screen space.

Think in Single Column

[{"selector":"#anim-089b1bbc-c843-49ff-ad19-97ae6688a64c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-77b019ba-a8dd-4492-8aba-eebcd8addb33","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 1294.77081%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4d6d129-7df8-43c8-98b3-2af94ed63ea8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e087c755-7673-447c-ac86-d9a071697104","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a145a012-56fb-4ec6-9ee9-2ead35986c0d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] For most mobile views, a single-column layout is a good starting point. This simplifies scrolling and ensures information is presented linearly, improving readability on small screens.

Touch-Friendly Elements

[{"selector":"#anim-8ed00914-b8ad-4c2d-b7ac-ff4a657af606","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-197369e1-53f6-49e6-803f-b6c4735b7512","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 1294.77081%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b61414ab-555b-4b3e-8a60-ccade62bfb37","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-acbf1c64-d18d-4471-ab2e-8601e9773852","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.18988%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":600,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f9f8b4ac-ae71-477b-be5f-f8d14beaab76","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Ensure there's enough padding and spacing around interactive elements to avoid accidental touches.Increase the hit area of buttons and other interactive elements to tap on smaller screens easily.
