Overview
The dual_screen package provides Flutter support for foldable and dual-screen devices, enabling developers to build adaptive user interfaces. It includes the TwoPane widget for managing layout across two screens and offers access to hinge angle sensor data, allowing apps to respond dynamically to device folding states. Designed specifically for Android, it helps create seamless experiences on devices like Microsoft's Surface Duo. The package integrates with Flutter’s rendering pipeline to ensure smooth transitions and responsive layouts based on physical device changes.
