Making network requests
Making a network call in Flutter is easy when you
use the popular http package. This abstracts
away a lot of the networking that you might normally
implement yourself, making it simple to make network calls.To add the http package as a dependency, run flutter pub add:To make a network call,
call await on the async function http.get():
<code_start>Future<void> loadData() async {
final Uri dataURL = Uri.parse('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts');
final http.Response response = await http.get(dataURL);
setState(() {
data = jsonDecode(response.body);
});
}<code_end>

Showing the progress on long-running tasks
In UIKit, you typically use a UIProgressView
while executing a long-running task in the background.In Flutter, use a ProgressIndicator widget.
Show the progress programmatically by controlling
when it’s rendered through a boolean flag.
Tell Flutter to update its state before your long-running task starts,
and hide it after it ends.In the example below, the build function is separated into three different
functions. If showLoadingDialog is true
(when widgets.length == 0), then render the ProgressIndicator.
Otherwise, render the ListView with the data returned from a network call.
