Package io.flutter.plugin.platform

Interface PlatformView

  • public interface PlatformView
    A handle to an Android view to be embedded in the Flutter hierarchy.

    • Method Detail

      • getView

        @Nullable
View getView()
        Returns the Android view to be embedded in the Flutter hierarchy.

      • onFlutterViewAttached

        default void onFlutterViewAttached​(@NonNull
                                   View flutterView)
        Called by the FlutterEngine that owns this PlatformView when the Android View responsible for rendering a Flutter UI is associated with the FlutterEngine.

        This means that our associated FlutterEngine can now render a UI and interact with the user.

        Some platform views may have unusual dependencies on the View that renders Flutter UIs, such as unique keyboard interactions. That View is provided here for those purposes. Use of this View should be avoided if it is not absolutely necessary, because depending on this View will tend to make platform view code more brittle to future changes.

      • onFlutterViewDetached

        default void onFlutterViewDetached()
        Called by the FlutterEngine that owns this PlatformView when the Android View responsible for rendering a Flutter UI is detached and disassociated from the FlutterEngine.

        This means that our associated FlutterEngine no longer has a rendering surface, or a user interaction surface of any kind.

        This platform view must release any references related to the Android View that was provided in onFlutterViewAttached(View).

      • dispose

        void dispose()
        Dispose this platform view.

        The PlatformView object is unusable after this method is called.

        Plugins implementing PlatformView must clear all references to the View object and the PlatformView after this method is called. Failing to do so will result in a memory leak.

        References related to the Android View attached in onFlutterViewAttached(View) must be released in dispose() to avoid memory leaks.

      • onInputConnectionLocked

        default void onInputConnectionLocked()
        Callback fired when the platform's input connection is locked, or should be used.

        This hook only exists for rare cases where the plugin relies on the state of the input connection. This probably doesn't need to be implemented.

      • onInputConnectionUnlocked

        default void onInputConnectionUnlocked()
        Callback fired when the platform input connection has been unlocked.

        This hook only exists for rare cases where the plugin relies on the state of the input connection. This probably doesn't need to be implemented.
