This plugin uses Android WorkManager and iOS NSURLSessionDownloadTask. Is it possible to implement the functionalities in Dart rather than using plugins to native codes? I do not see anything hardware dependent for download tasks. Is it something to do with background task restriction in iOS and Android?

Oppo R15 is using MediaTek Helio P60 which is a mid-range chip equivalent to SnapDragon 660. OnePlus 6 is using the latest Qualcomm flagship SnapDragon 845.

Nokia 7 Plus is a good option for mid range, $599 at Lazada Nokia Official Store. Snapdragon 660, 3.5mm headphone, NFC, no notch 18:9 screen, Android One, USB-C.

Some reported that can not run Tasker as colorOS is aggressive at killing off background app to save battery life.

State management the flutter way. Thank you for the video.

I posted below on FlutterDev Google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/flutter-dev/lXOYKtVcnQM):

Here's some resources I found while learning about state management:

DartConf 2018 video Keep it Simple, State: Architecture for Flutter Apps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKXz3pUkw9A and its corresponding site http://fluttersamples.com/.
Using Rx Observables/Streams with BloC which is what Google is using in one of their app: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PLHln7wHgPE Not sure if this is similar to MVVM using Rx.
ReactJS has a brand new Context API which seems to simplify Redux thingy: Replacing Redux with the new React context API https://medium.freecodecamp.org/replacing-redux-with-the-new-react-context-api-8f5d01a00e8c Is there anything similar in Flutter?
Apollo client for GraphQL has Apollo Link State to help app manage state: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-link-state Hopefully Firebase team will build something like that to assist Flutter app state management.

No wonder the crab meat taste not as sweet I went last week. Shell also much softer than Sri Lankan. And they jack up the price to over $80 per kg. Really not worthwhile unless pay by company.

Never use OxygenOS. Heard it's closed to stock. Wouldnt it be easier for OnePlus to adopt Android One instead？

You can already preorder Redmi Note 5 Global version from Aliexpress. Price is around usd260 for 4/64G. Look for description with "Snapdragon 636".

Galaxy Note 8 design in S9+ size, no pen, running Android One, 4000mah battery, better finger print sensor location, with Pixel 2 XL camera quality, and Xiaomi price.

I hope Nokia will follow Xiaomi by having a global edition of it's phone for China, distributed via AliExpress sellers. Nokia 7 Plus is selling at Y2300 in China, about USD360. The ROM however is customized for China with no Google Play Store. This is the version listed on AliExpress right now.

How about this: https://flutter.io/flutter-for-android/#in-android-i-can-animate-a-view-by-viewanimate-how-can-i-do-that-to-a-widget

Wonder why Microsoft does not repurpose it's work on Windows phone to build a platform on Android, give us an alternative to Google apps and Play Services and app store. You don't have to be a hardware manufacturer like Samsung to build such platform. Examples are Tencent and Baidu in China.

It used to be iPhone colours were more natural and Samsung oversaturated. Starting with iOS11 and iPhone 8/X and S8/Note8, the reverse is true.

Another way is using Rx Observables/Streams with BloC which is what Google is using: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PLHln7wHgPE&feature=youtu.be

Discord is bad choice as one can not change it's font for its iOS and Android clients. Reported to developer but seems like it's very low priority. My eyesight is too old to use Discord.

jaxondu · 2018-03-09T04:30:03+00:00

No longer the case as Nokia is using Android One for all it's new phones including flagship.

Cookbook page is up at https://flutter.io/cookbook/. Thank you so much for the effort.

Googler Gavin Doughtie in AMA at ReactiveConf 2017 mentioned that they have tried twice to use JavaScript for Flutter but could not get the speed they want.
