How to Create a Calculator App for Android in Flutter

Create a Calculator App for Android in Flutter

• The Flutter Create Calculator app demonstrates how to build an app with Flutter. 
• The app is a calculator that is capable of floating around the screen. 
• The background color, text color, and buttons colors can be controlled by the user. 
• The app is built with a main.dart file and buttons.dart file. 
• The button's colors are set through the MainStatelessWidget using a StatelessWidget method.

Step 1: Add the Dependency to pubspec.yaml file as shown below:

 dependencies:
  lint: ^1.8.2
  math_expressions: ^2.3.0

Step 2: Import the library

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

 import 'package:math_expressions/math_expressions.dart';

Create a Button List

 List button = [
    "AC","DLT","%","/","9","8","7","*","6","5","4","-","3","2","1","+","0",".","=",
  ];

Expression method() create

 void expression(){
    Parser p = Parser();
    Expression exp = p.parse(userInput);
    ContextModel cm = ContextModel();
    var evalue = exp.evaluate(EvaluationType.REAL, cm);
    userInput = evalue.toString();
 
  }

Operations create

   isOperator(String x){
    if(x == "%" || x == "+" || x == "-" || x == "*" || x == "/" || x == "="){
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  }
