This adds a keycode generator that incorporates input from the Chromium and Android source trees, as well as some local tables, to generate static constants for the LogicalKeyboardKey and PhysicalKeyboardKey classes, as well as mappings from each of the platforms we support so far (currently only Android and Fuchsia). This code generator parses the input files, generates an intermediate data structure (`key_data.json`) that is checked in, and then generates the Dart sources for these classes and some static maps that will also be checked in (but are not included in this PR). The idea is that these codes don't change often, and so we don't need to generate them on every build, but we would like to be able to update them easily in the future if new data becomes available. If the existing data disappears or becomes unusable, we can maintain the checked-in data structure by hand if necessary, and still be able to generate the code. This PR only contains the code generator, not the classes themselves. In another follow-on PR, I'll run the generator and check in the output of the generator.
Flutter 
Build beautiful native apps in record time
Flutter is Google’s mobile app SDK for crafting high-quality native interfaces on iOS and Android in record time. Flutter works with existing code, is used by developers and organizations around the world, and is free and open source.

Fast development
Flutter's hot reload helps you quickly and easily experiment, build UIs, add features, and fix bugs. Experience sub-second reload times, without losing state, on emulators, simulators, and hardware for iOS and Android.
Expressive and flexible UI
Quickly ship features with a focus on native end-user experiences. Layered architecture allows full customization, which results in incredibly fast rendering and expressive and flexible designs.
Delight your users with Flutter's built-in beautiful Material Design and Cupertino (iOS-flavor) widgets, rich motion APIs, smooth natural scrolling, and platform awareness.

Modern, reactive framework
Easily compose your UI with Flutter's modern functional-reactive framework and rich set of platform, layout, and foundation widgets. Solve your tough UI challenges with powerful and flexible APIs for 2D, animation, gestures, effects, and more.
class CounterState extends State<Counter> {
int counter = 0;
void increment() {
// Tells the Flutter framework that state has changed,
// so the framework can run build() and update the display.
setState(() {
counter++;
});
}
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
// This method is rerun every time setState is called.
// The Flutter framework has been optimized to make rerunning
// build methods fast, so that you can just rebuild anything that
// needs updating rather than having to individually change
// instances of widgets.
return Row(
children: <Widget>[
RaisedButton(
onPressed: increment,
child: Text('Increment'),
),
Text('Count: $counter'),
],
);
}
}
Browse the widget catalog and learn more about the functional-reactive framework.
Access native features and SDKs
Make your app come to life with platform APIs, 3rd party SDKs, and native code. Flutter lets you reuse your existing Java/Kotlin and ObjC/Swift code, and access native features and SDKs on Android and iOS.
Accessing platform features is easy. Here is a snippet from our interop example:
Future<void> getBatteryLevel() async {
var batteryLevel = 'unknown';
try {
int result = await methodChannel.invokeMethod('getBatteryLevel');
batteryLevel = 'Battery level: $result%';
} on PlatformException {
batteryLevel = 'Failed to get battery level.';
}
setState(() {
_batteryLevel = batteryLevel;
});
}
Learn how to use packages or write platform channels to access native code, APIs, and SDKs.
Unified app development
Flutter has the tools and libraries to help you easily bring your ideas to life on iOS and Android. If you don't have any mobile development experience, Flutter is an easy and fast way to build beautiful mobile apps. If you are an experienced iOS or Android developer, you can use Flutter for your views and leverage much of your existing Java/Kotlin/ObjC/Swift investment.
