I don't know the "preview" feature from AS, but it sounds like what the Flutter plugin provides under

It's till work in progress and I haven't seen it working yet.

As I konw ,many developers want to Visual development，just like Android Studio, you can see what the UI is when writing your code. @zoechi

Jetpack Compose @Preview and SwiftUI PreviewProvider.I envy them very much.Could it be a whole new workflow that, as it develops, checks for beauty in light and dark colors?

For sure this would be desired feature for the community

Meanwhile, I'm working on this feature mzdm/embedded-dartpad#29 which would show the widget preview via DartPad so you don't have to launch an emulator. It's in a very early stage and blocked with a few things (there's for example no UI only embed preview on DartPad, yet) and it will only support pure Flutter widgets (no dependencies). But better than nothing!
