Here is a example how to open the AirPlayPanel in objective c.
Setup flutter
First you have to create a channel. To start communicating to the native code.
All channel names used in a single app must be unique; prefix the
channel name with a unique ‘domain prefix
static const platform = const MethodChannel('stack.M123.dev/airplay');
Then you have to invoke a method on the method channel.
Future<void> _openAirPlay() async {
try {
await platform.invokeMethod('openAirPlay');
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
print('error');
}
}
Native part
Now the flutter part is done.
First you have to add suppport for swift. For this open the ios folder in the flutter root with XCode.
Expand Runner > Runner in the Project navigator.
Open the AppDelegate.m located under Runner > Runner in the Project navigator.
Create a FlutterMethodChannel and add a handler inside the application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method. Make sure to use the same channel name as was used on the Flutter client side.
#import <Flutter/Flutter.h>
#import "GeneratedPluginRegistrant.h"
@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication*)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions {
FlutterViewController* controller = (FlutterViewController*)self.window.rootViewController;
FlutterMethodChannel* airPlayChannel= [FlutterMethodChannel
methodChannelWithName:@"stack.M123.dev/airplay"
binaryMessenger:controller.binaryMessenger];
[airPlayChannel setMethodCallHandler:^(FlutterMethodCall* call, FlutterResult result) {
// Note: this method is invoked on the UI thread.
if ([@"getBatteryLevel" isEqualToString:call.method]) {
int returnValue = [weakSelf openAirPlay];
result(@(returnValue));
}];
[GeneratedPluginRegistrant registerWithRegistry:self];
return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}
Add the method in the AppDelegate class, just before @end
- (int)openAirPlay {
//Open air play
return (int)(100);
}
Discalimer: I am not a IOS developer so the steps are mostly theoretical.
I am following the official guide from Flutter. It can be found in full length here.
