Evaluation of Flutter framework time efficiency in context of user interface tasks

The article describes a comparative analysis of the time performance between native Android applications (created with the Android SDK and Java language) and applications created with the Flutter multi-platform framework. The study consisted of creating three pairs of applications that are functionally identical with each other using both programing tools, and then examining the time taken to perform individual actions by both applications. The functionality of the test applications consisted mainly of tasks related to operating on the user interface. The study was carried out on the Huawei P30 using Perfetto tool. Results confirm that native apps are more time efficient than Flutter apps.
