PlatformDispatcher class

Platform event dispatcher singleton.

The most basic interface to the host operating system's interface.

This is the central entry point for platform messages and configuration events from the platform.

It exposes the core scheduler API, the input event callback, the graphics drawing API, and other such core services.

It manages the list of the application's views as well as the configuration of various platform attributes.

Consider avoiding static references to this singleton through PlatformDispatcher.instance and instead prefer using a binding for dependency resolution such as WidgetsBinding.instance.platformDispatcher. See PlatformDispatcher.instance for more information about why this is preferred.

Methods

computePlatformResolvedLocale(List<Locale> supportedLocales) Locale?
Performs the platform-native locale resolution.
getPersistentIsolateData() ByteData?
The embedder can specify data that the isolate can request synchronously on launch. This accessor fetches that data.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
registerBackgroundIsolate(RootIsolateToken token) → void
Registers the current isolate with the isolate identified with by the token. This is required if platform channels are to be used on a background isolate.
requestDartPerformanceMode(DartPerformanceMode mode) → void
Requests the Dart VM to adjusts the GC heuristics based on the requested performance_mode.
scaleFontSize(double unscaledFontSize) double
Computes the scaled font size from the given unscaledFontSize, according to the user's platform preferences.
scheduleFrame() → void
Requests that, at the next appropriate opportunity, the onBeginFrame and onDrawFrame callbacks be invoked.
sendPlatformMessage(String name, ByteData? data, PlatformMessageResponseCallback? callback) → void
Sends a message to a platform-specific plugin.
sendPortPlatformMessage(String name, ByteData? data, int identifier, SendPort port) → void
Sends a message to a platform-specific plugin via a SendPort.
setIsolateDebugName(String name) → void
Set the debug name associated with this platform dispatcher's root isolate.
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
updateSemantics(SemanticsUpdate update) → void
Change the retained semantics data about this platform dispatcher.
view({required int id}) FlutterView?
Returns the FlutterView with the provided ID if one exists, or null otherwise.

Operators
