Flutter Android Bindings

Project license Dart compatibility Pub package Dartdoc reference

This is a Flutter plugin for using Android's numerous platform-specific APIs in Flutter apps.

Screenshot

Screenshot of Android settings

Prerequisites

Compatibility

Android only.

Installation

dependencies:
  flutter_android: ^0.8.0

Features

  • Implements bindings to a growing set of Android's platform-specific APIs.

  • Reduces duplication of effort by centralizing Android bindings in a single package.

Feature Table

Feature Flutter API
Activity launch android_content.Intent#startActivity()
Bluetooth scanning android_bluetooth.BluetoothLeScanner
Distance calculation android_location.Location.distanceBetween()
Face detection android_media.FaceDetector
Heart-rate monitoring android_hardware.SensorManager.getDefaultSensor()
Parcel serialization android_os.Parcel
Sensor event streams android_hardware.Sensor#subscribe()

TODO: dirs

Examples

Activity launch

import 'package:flutter_android/android_content.dart' show Intent;

await Intent(
  action: "android.intent.action.VIEW", // Intent.ACTION_VIEW
  data: Uri.parse("https://flutter.dev"),
).startActivity();

Parcel serialization

import 'package:flutter_android/android_os.dart' show Parcel;

var parcel = Parcel.obtain()
  ..writeBoolean(true)
  ..writeInt(42)
  ..writeDouble(3.1415)
  ..writeString("Hello, world!")
  ..writeList(<Object>[1, 2, 3])
  ..writeMap(<String, Object>{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3});

await _channel.invokeMethod('someJavaMethod', parcel.asUint8List());

// In Java, your MethodCallHandler's call.arguments contains the marshaled Parcel

Face detection

import 'package:flutter_android/android_graphics.dart' show Bitmap;
import 'package:flutter_android/android_media.dart' show Face, FaceDetector;

var photo = Image.asset("images/einstein.png");

var bitmap = Bitmap.fromAssetImage(photo.image as AssetImage);
var detector = FaceDetector(width: 280, height: 396);

for (var face in await detector.findFaces(bitmap)) {
  if (face.confidence < Face.CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD) {
    continue; // skip dubious results below the cut-off threshold
  }
  print("Found a face at (${face.midPoint.x}, ${face.midPoint.y}) with confidence ${face.confidence}");
}

Heart-rate monitoring

import 'package:flutter_android/android_hardware.dart'
    show Sensor, SensorEvent, SensorManager;

var sensor = await SensorManager.getDefaultSensor(Sensor.TYPE_HEART_RATE);

var events = await sensor.subscribe();
events.listen((SensorEvent event) {
  print(event.values[0]);
});

Caveats

  • iOS is not and cannot be supported. All flutter_android APIs throw an AssertionError if they are invoked when running on iOS. For cross-platform apps, we recommend that you depend on the platform package to conditionalize your use of Android APIs.
