Implementation of Flutter Framework in Frontend Development of Android-Based Audio Scheduling Application
Abstract
Abstrak — Flutter is an open-source framework developed by Google to support cross-platform mobile application interface development. This study implements Flutter in the frontend development of an Android-based audio scheduling application designed to improve information delivery in early childhood education environments. The case study was conducted at TK IT Little Moslem, where manual bells and speakers were still used, resulting in inefficient communication. The developed application, named SoundNest, allows teachers to schedule audio playback (bells, music, and Qur’anic recitations), control volume, and deliver announcements through a user-friendly interface. Flutter was used to build interactive layouts using widgets such as ListView, Switch, and TabBar, while Firebase Realtime Database handled real-time data storage and synchronization. Testing was conducted using white-box, black-box, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) methods, with 13 teachers participating as respondents. The UAT yielded an average score of 56.69 out of 60, and the Cronbach’s Alpha reliability score was 0.947, indicating excellent internal consistency. The results confirm that the application is efficient, responsive, and easy to use. Thus, Flutter proves effective for building dynamic and educational Android interfaces and serves as a functional solution to improve communication at TK IT Little Moslem. Keywords — flutter, frontend, android, audio scheduling, firebase, user interface.
