Support inlining Android/iOS views #19030

amirh · 2018-07-03T03:07:44Z

A generic solution for embedding any Android/iOS view as part of the Flutter widget hierarchy would enable some highly desired features including Google Maps (#73) and WebView (#730).

Also on this matter, this would be useful when embedding camera stream in an application.

amirh · 2018-07-09T15:56:00Z

For a camera stream you probably want to use a Texture widget directly.
The camera plugin is doing that for the device's cameras: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/camera

Each platform view created (by a plugin supplied factory) is attached to a virtual display. The virtual displays are controlled by VirtualDisplayController objects. The PlatformViewsController maintains a mapping from a platform view's id to its VirtualDisplayController, which allows it to operate on the virtual display for a given platform view ID when asked so over the method channel. This is using API level 20 APIs, on lower API levels all platform views method channel calls are noops. We can make this work on API 19 with some refactoring to the TextureRegistry (allow the engine Java code to recycle a texture entry id). This CL also adds a platform view id parameter to the PlatformViewFactory#create() method. This allows plugins to route platform channel messages to specific instances of a platform view. TBD in future CLs: * Forward touch events to the platform views. * Support accessibility for platform views. flutter/flutter#19030

Do you guys need help here, in development?

amirh · 2018-07-20T16:39:42Z

@benbucksch contributions are welcomed, here are 2 issues you can look at: #19417 #19418.

Thanks!

yohom · 2018-07-28T02:37:51Z

So far I've only found AndroidView, is there an IOSView? Thanks. @amirh

amirh · 2018-07-28T02:43:21Z

@yohom this is still work in progress, I started with the Android support.
I wouldn't even use AndroidView yet as it is incomplete and unstable.

morad00 · 2018-07-31T06:38:12Z

Looks good! hope much support from flutter team

newbie-gk · 2018-08-09T05:40:36Z

Would absolutely love this feature :)
Any plans on when will this be available?

tiagofalves · 2018-08-09T12:54:14Z

Hi @amirh, first of all, a big thank you. If you need help with testing the features i can help.

amirh · 2018-11-10T00:17:37Z

iOS view embedding support has landed on master.

This is still just a preview.

There are multiple open issues for missing features, bugs, and potential optimizations, the relevant issues are tagged with the platform-views label. Please upvote the ones you care about to help us prioritize.

Notably on iOS embedding UIViews currently requires running Flutter with a single thread, as the required threading configuration is not yet supported (we are working on it: #23974, #23975).

Currently apps need to opt-in for the UIViews embedding preview on iOS by adding a boolean property to the Info.plist (key=io.flutter.embedded_views_preview value=YES).

Documentation is still a little light, for a simple usage example you can check flutter/plugins#890 which adds iOS support to the webview_flutter plugin.

sreekanth-krishnan · 2018-11-24T08:12:19Z

How do I include this in my project now? I guess the pub dependency is not available yet.

mclark4386 · 2018-11-24T09:31:23Z

Is this it? https://github.com/ibhavikmakwana/flutter_google_map

yoavrofe · 2018-11-29T15:08:39Z

@amirh, please note the bug on Android devices with a notch, which currently prevents using platform view in production.

Here's how to achieve the above solution :

Add the following lines to <root of your project>/ios/Runner/Info.plist

<dict>
     ...
    <key>io.flutter.embedded_views_preview</key>
    <true/>
    ....
</dict>

WChoy · 2019-02-25T20:31:44Z

Need to correct README.md

If you use Xcode, the "Custom iOS Target Properties" , the value is a Boolean "Yes",

this will result in what MarcAlx said "".... not "" (as in the Boring Show).

<dict> ... <key>io.flutter.embedded_views_preview</key> <true/> .... </dict>

amirh · 2019-02-25T20:38:41Z

@WChoy I'm not sure which README.md you refer to, can you link the specific file?

mduenas · 2019-03-02T22:05:52Z

This works for iOS using flutter_google_map, but every so often I'm using the app and the screen render goes totally fuzzy. All graphics and text (on all widgets) are distorted and not visually discernable...Any thoughts on why this would be happening?

amirh · 2019-03-03T03:46:00Z

@mduenas does #27561 sounds like the same issue you're hitting?

因地图在ios上不显示，所以加入了在info.plist加入 io.flutter.embedded_views_preview
这个，地图显示了，但我的入口页面出现花屏了，之前不加的时候没有问题，
请问，怎么解决

mduenas · 2019-03-28T16:11:36Z

Yes, that is how my screen renders as well.

Since the map is not displayed on ios, I joined io.flutter.embedded_views_preview in info.plist
This, the map is displayed, but my entry page has a screen, and there is no problem when I didn’t add it before.
Excuse me, how to solve it

遇到了同样的问题，请问解决了吗

I have encountered the same problem. Is it solved?

bemesquita · 2019-11-22T16:55:01Z

Added the io.flutter.embedded_views_preview on my info.plist and still getting the error =/

xj5513 · 2019-12-21T03:23:55Z

io.flutter.embedded_views_preview
YES

cip22 · 2020-01-13T16:12:14Z

I had the error message "Trying to embed a platform view but the PrerollContext does not support embedding" with the qr_code_scanner package on iOS and it was solved with io.flutter.embedded_views_preview = YES in my info.plist file.

Alexakis97 · 2020-12-13T16:54:16Z

Guys tried minSdkVersion 29 and put the key in Info.plist nothing seems to work for me

That's the exception:

E/flutter (12880): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(177)] Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(error, java.lang.IllegalStateException: Trying to create a platform view of unregistered type: plugins.flutter.io/webview

lukepighetti · 2020-12-14T21:10:24Z

That looks like a good question for Stack Overflow!
