Thanks from a Java developer who used threads and now using dart/flutter

[@hawkybae]

Appreciate you taking the time to cover this topic. Cheers!

[@tadaspetra]

I appreciate you watching 😊

Hey Tadas. Thank you for your tutorials, they're very well made and are always a great support when looking to perform new and better practices in our applications.

[@tadaspetra]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😊

[@calanm7880]

Tadas, the YT algorithm is fantastically kind in recommending some videos I just need to watch: this is awesome cos it’s a subject I’ve shy-Ed away from, and you made it friendly and approachable 👍

[@tadaspetra]

Thank you all mighty algorithm for showing my videos 😂

[@garoono]

ur vdos tadas so amazing and simple to learn and exploring new topics makes it very intersting , and in the beginning little bit other than code appreciate ;]

[@purushottampk4530]

Excellent 👍 Love from india

[@tadaspetra]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lpfboyka561]

finally!! the best explaination and example i found for isolate... thanks bro

[@blank-vw2sb]

Everyone reading this comment, If you haven't left a comment, DO it. KZbin algorithm looks for video engagement. Help this awesome video reach the people who would appreciate it.

[@hafeez-rana]

nice explanation. thanks Tadas!

[@hoekbrwr]

At least I learned now it exists! Might come in handy some time.

[@hamzaiqbal725]

if you put your compress/decompress of large images or video editing logic in isolate you will feel good amount of difference in app's performance.

[@tadaspetra]

Yes definitely. That’s a great use for it

[@yashraut19]

Great i heard about isolates for the first time ! And as always nice tutorial

[@tadaspetra]

Awesome! It is good to know they exist in case you ever need it 😊

[@etion1999]

Thank you, Tadas!

[@harysuryanto]

Very good explanation

[@saqib399]

Thanks. From the official docs it seemed like out of my scope concept. 😅

[@rebarius]

Finally someone explained It easily in code ❤️ thx :)

[@tadaspetra]

Glad I could help 😊

[@SEGVeenstra]

Thank you, just what I needed!

[@NaraAIApp]

Thanks Man, your explanation is best. REALLY REALLY REALLY HELPFUL.

[@tadaspetra]

Glad it helped!

[@tibfox]

Greeeeeat explaination! Thank you so much :) I wanna execute some custom logic which takes much time including multiple rest api calls inside an isolate so I can use the app while this is running. You opened my mind and now I will hop and read more about the send/receive ports

[@aytunch]

Great video. Keep more coming.

[@blank-vw2sb]

All I can say is it's awesome. ❤️

[@tadaspetra]

Thank you 😊

[@YouhanaSheriff]

[@abraiyan7984]

Things no one is taking about. Thanks man.

[@tadaspetra]

Thank you for watching!

[@jalalhannan3243]

This is great!

[@Amandeep-kq5bz]

Awesome video

[@tadaspetra]

Thank you 😊

[@akshay6019]

I once used isolate to generate blurhash.

[@fluttterdev1k]

the best

[@rodrigogaxiola9146]

Good!

[@jrheisler]

Cool, I assume it would be very important if you were doing some server side dart. A lot simpler than I thought. Thanks!

[@tadaspetra]

Would definitely be important for that, and glad to help 😊

[@victorozigbu1594]

Heyy Tadas, thank you for the explanation, please can you also explain how to use the flutter blue plus package 🙏

[@DartMitai]

thanks, what are your plans for the next videos? maybe you can show shelf+angulardart+postgresql+gRPC. Or is it too much?

[@tadaspetra]

Those are some big topics. But soon I am planning to expand to not just flutter but coding overall

[@DartMitai]

@@tadaspetra this is a really big topic, but also a unique one, because 99% of pseudo dart programmers read about this combination and run away in fear, it is more difficult than shooting content under a carbon copy about flutter

[@techstudio7331]

Thankyou AC 😎, Maybe ffi in easy manner just like this, next time?

[@tadaspetra]

I’ll check it out

[@akshaybengani]

I have to make multiple network calls in flutter and none of them will bring some data back to me, they are just for sending some data continuously somewhere and don't require async/await, they are also not a priority task even if they fail or comes error I don't care. I need to know if I don't use async await before a network call, how does it work in the flutter event loop does it wait and reduce UI performance Should I run them in separate Isolate threads or the event loop will process these events without dropping performance,

[@FantasyOR]

Hi. how do you call "runCompute" function? do you use "await" or not?

[@user-uq7zx5nc3t]

Hey Tads, how ya doin? My flutter app is kind of awesome, and works great on my M1 ipad. Unfortunately, in a browser, it really sucks. Lots of IndexDB access, because I built it for offline first. Store users data collections as json and byte lists locally.

[@SuperHansburger93]

Can you use Isolate to do asynchronous rendering (like React's concurrent mode)? Like if I have a very large list to render with very complex items, can I prerender them in an Isolate to keep my UI responsive in the meantime?

[@tadaspetra]

Damn. That's a good question. I feel like it should be possible, but I have not worked with this. Some one else has commented on the video saying they used it for blurhash which may be related. I am not sure

[@LMrc534]

do I go through an isolate to run a foreground task?

[@amircodes]

Sir, could you please create a video on the future of Flutter for new developers that wants to switch to. Companies are talking about Kotlin KMM. But why Google associate this huge resource and effort to bold flutter more and more. It doesn't make sense if google would abandon Flutter. I hope you see this comment.

[@ITPROFESSIONAL]

made please another video for explaining recieveport and sendport and controlling the isolate. thanks

[@kashishkhullar9542]

Hey man. Thanks for this video. I am working on an app that makes REST calls in in separate isolate and I want it to continue when the app goes to background. But what I wanna achieve is that when the app comes back to foreground or I open the app again, then I do not want the isolate to run. I want to terminate it and before closing the app, I want to restart it. Is there a way to get the instance of the isolate or some kind of id or identifier to get access to an already running isolate and then send messages to it or kill it. And if there is what is the best way to save such id or instance of the isolate. Appreciate your help.

[@tadaspetra]

Not too sure about this. I haven’t dived deep into isolates since this video. Maybe you can ask in the discord link in description

[@edinliu9556]

Why isolateFunction can't be async function?

[@talatkuyuk6556]

How do you know that kind of edge features, really I aploud you.

[@tadaspetra]

Haha I do a lot of research before these 😊

[@rebarius]

Isolate isn't working for web 😭

[@mruduladdipalli5417]

Go to video for Isolates

[@tadaspetra]

thank you so much!

[@xamael1989]

Thanks but can you show this in general context without using flutter

[@tadaspetra]

Most languages have a different approach than this. But I might be able to make a video about general multi threading

[@haidermajid2935]

Speak you me please my friend
