🚀 Customize Grey Error Screen in Flutter!

👋 Say Goodbye to the Grey Screen of Doom in Your Flutter App!

Have you ever encountered that ugly grey screen in the release version of your app?
🧐 In debug mode, you get a red screen with error details 🛑, but in release mode,
it’s just a grey void—not exactly user-friendly, right?
But don't worry—we can customize it! ✨

🚩 Why Customize It?


Debug Mode: The error screen is fine because only you see it.
Release Mode: A grey screen screams an unfinished app and leaves a bad impression.
Let’s make the user experience seamless, even when things go wrong. 🌟

🛠 How To Customize It?


Add this to your MaterialApp:

MaterialApp(
builder: (context, child) {
[Link] = (FlutterErrorDetails errorDetails) {
return CustomErrorWidget(errorDetails: errorDetails);
};
return child!;
},
// Other properties like theme, home, etc.
)

💡 The Magic:
The [Link] intercepts widget build errors and replaces the default
screen with your custom UI widget. 🎉

Let’s create a CustomErrorWidget:


import 'package:flutter/[Link]';
import 'package:flutter/[Link]';

class CustomErrorWidget extends StatelessWidget {


final FlutterErrorDetails errorDetails;
const CustomErrorWidget({Key? key, required [Link]}) : super(key: key);

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: [Link],
children: [
Icon([Link], color: [Link], size: 64),
SizedBox(height: 16),
Text(
kDebugMode
? [Link]()
: 'Oups! Something went wrong!',
textAlign: [Link],
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 18, color: Colors.black54),
),
],
),
);
}
}

🔍 Key Insights:
kDebugMode: Displays detailed error info only in debug mode.
Release Mode: Shows a clean and professional error message like, "Oops! Something
went wrong!".

✅ And That’s It!


Next time a grey (or red) error screen appears, your custom UI will take over,
keeping the app experience polished and user-friendly. 🎯
