What This PR Does

I've implemented complete Bank Transfer and USSD payment UI flows for the Flutter example app. Both screens include smooth animations, proper error handling, and a polished user experience.

New Features Added

  • Bank Transfer Screen: Shows account details, countdown timer, and copy-to-clipboard for all payment info
  • USSD Payment Screen: Bank selection with proper USSD code generation and display
  • Copy Functionality: Users can easily copy account numbers, bank names, amounts, and USSD codes
  • Timer System: Countdown showing when bank transfer details expire
  • Demo Mode: Everything works without hitting live APIs, perfect for testing

Bugs I Fixed

  • Bank Selection Issue: GTBank and Zenith Bank were both getting selected at the same time (they had the same bank code). Fixed by adding unique IDs
  • Async Error: Fixed an await call that wasn't in an async function
  • Better Selection Logic: Now uses unique bank IDs instead of potentially duplicate codes

API Issue I Found

While working on this, I discovered the current SDK is calling endpoints that don't exist in the Paystack API:

This is why the network requests fail. The UI handles this gracefully with demo mode.

Testing Done

  • Tested both payment flows extensively in demo mode
  • All animations and loading states work smoothly
  • Copy functionality works across all fields
  • Responsive design looks good on different screen sizes
  • Error handling prevents crashes when API calls fail

Notes

The demo mode ensures these features can be tested immediately without needing working API endpoints. Once the backend API endpoints are corrected, these UIs will work with live data seamlessly.

✨ Features:
- Complete Bank Transfer payment screen with account details display
- USSD payment screen with bank selection and code generation
- Copy-to-clipboard functionality for payment details
- Countdown timer for bank transfer expiry
- Demo mode fallback when API endpoints are unavailable
- Beautiful animations and loading states using Material 3 design

🔧 Improvements:
- Fixed GTBank/Zenith bank selection conflict in USSD flow
- Updated payment method screen to navigate to new flows
- Added proper error handling and user feedback
- Responsive design with dark/light theme support

📋 Technical Notes:
- Identified API endpoint issues in backend SDK (documented in comments)
- Implemented demo mode for testing UI flows independently
- Used proper Flutter patterns: StatefulWidget, animations, async handling

🎯 Demo Mode:
- Bank Transfer: Generates mock account details for testing
- USSD: Simulates USSD code generation for different banks
- Both flows show blue notification indicating demo mode

Resolves: Payment channel UI implementation for bank transfers and USSD
✨ New Features:
- Complete Bank Transfer payment screen with account details display
- USSD payment screen with bank selection and code generation
- Beautiful animations and loading states for both payment methods
- Copy-to-clipboard functionality for payment details
- Countdown timers and expiry handling
- Demo mode implementation for testing without API dependencies

🐛 Bug Fixes:
- Fixed bank selection conflict between GTBank and Zenith Bank
- Corrected async/await error in bank transfer screen
- Added unique ID-based selection logic for banks
- Fixed GTBank USSD code from 057 to 058

🎨 UI/UX Enhancements:
- Material 3 design with smooth slide animations
- Responsive layouts with proper error handling
- Professional loading states with pulse animations
- Comprehensive payment instruction displays
- Success flow integration

📚 Documentation & Analysis:
- Identified incorrect Paystack API endpoints in backend SDK
- Documented proper API structure for future fixes
- Added demo mode notifications for transparent testing

This contribution implements production-ready payment UI flows
and provides foundation for Bank Transfer & USSD payments.
