Adding a splash screen to Flutter apps

Question

How would you go about giving Flutter apps a splash screen? That ought to be the first thing to load and appear on the screen. The Scaffold(home:X) widget now loads after a brief flare of colour.

Answer 1

To add a splash screen to your Flutter app, follow these steps:

1. Create a new Dart file called splash_screen.dart.
2. Define the UI elements of your splash screen in this file.
3. In your main.dart file, import the splash_screen.dart file and add a new route for the splash screen.
4. Add a delay to the splash screen using the Future.delayed method.
5. Navigate to the home screen after the delay has finished.

This will ensure that your Flutter app has a splash screen that is displayed when it is launched, and which navigates to the home screen after a certain amount of time.
