import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(new MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new MaterialApp(
      home: new MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => new _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

  Future<void> doSomething() async {
    await Future.delayed(Duration(seconds: 4));
  }

  void _incrementCounter() async {
    // This blocks the ui for the duration of the async call
    await doSomething();
    setState(() {
      _counter++;
    });
  }

  @override
