Scaffold explained for Android Developers

This class provides APIs for showing drawers and bottom sheets. To display a persistent bottom sheet, obtain the ScaffoldState for the current BuildContext via Scaffold.of and use the ScaffoldState.showBottomSheet function. This is similar to how Android developers might use Fragments or BottomNavigationView to manage UI components in a structured way.

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use Scaffold:

flutter create --sample=material.Scaffold.1 mysample

Scaffold Remarks

The Scaffold is designed to be a top-level container for a MaterialApp, providing a consistent layout structure.
