Android with a side of Flutter, please
summary
Shows how to drop a single Flutter activity or view into an existing Android app using the add to app workflow (flutter create module, tweak Gradle and Java 8 compileOptions), explains warming a flutter engine at app start to avoid launch jank, and highlights Flutter’s compile-to-native, GPU-rendered UI with no JS bridge. Cites Alibaba’s gradual rewrite (tens of millions of users) and fast headless tests (34 tests in 14 seconds). Feature works in production but add-to-app tooling and DX are still maturing.
