Wrap your app's root widget in a DevicePreview
and inject the dedicated builder
and locale
into your app.
Make sure to provide
locale
andbuilder
to yourWidgetsApp
. If not defined,MediaQuery
won't be simulated for the selected device and selected locale won't be applied.
import 'package:device_preview/device_preview.dart';
void main() => runApp(
DevicePreview(
enabled: !kReleaseMode,
builder: (context) => MyApp(), // Wrap your app
),
);
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
locale: DevicePreview.locale(context), // Add the locale here
builder: DevicePreview.appBuilder, // Add the builder here
home: HomePage(),
);
}
}
Think of Device Preview as a first-order approximation of how your app looks and feels on a mobile device. With Device Mode you don't actually run your code on a mobile device. You simulate the mobile user experience from your laptop, desktop or tablet.
!> There are some aspects of mobile devices that Device Preview will never be able to simulate. When in doubt, your best bet is to actually run your app on a real device.
