AppKitView class

Widget that contains a macOS AppKit view.

Embedding macOS views is an expensive operation and should be avoided where a Flutter equivalent is possible.

The platform view's lifetime is the same as the lifetime of the State object for this widget. When the State is disposed the platform view (and auxiliary resources) are lazily released (some resources are immediately released and some by platform garbage collector). A stateful widget's state is disposed when the widget is removed from the tree or when it is moved within the tree. If the stateful widget has a key and it's only moved relative to its siblings, or it has a GlobalKey and it's moved within the tree, it will not be disposed.

Construction of AppKitViews is done asynchronously, before the underlying NSView is ready this widget paints nothing while maintaining the same layout constraints.

Constructors

AppKitView({Key? key, required String viewType, PlatformViewCreatedCallback? onPlatformViewCreated, PlatformViewHitTestBehavior hitTestBehavior = PlatformViewHitTestBehavior.opaque, TextDirection? layoutDirection, dynamic creationParams, MessageCodec? creationParamsCodec, Set<Factory<OneSequenceGestureRecognizer>>? gestureRecognizers})
Creates a widget that embeds a macOS AppKit NSView.

Properties

creationParams → dynamic
Passed as the arguments argument of -[FlutterPlatformViewFactory createWithFrame:viewIdentifier:arguments:]
finalinherited
creationParamsCodec MessageCodec?
The codec used to encode creationParams before sending it to the platform side. It should match the codec returned by -[FlutterPlatformViewFactory createArgsCodec:]
finalinherited
gestureRecognizers Set<Factory<OneSequenceGestureRecognizer>>?
Which gestures should be forwarded to the UIKit view.
finalinherited
hashCode int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
hitTestBehavior PlatformViewHitTestBehavior
How this widget should behave during hit testing.
finalinherited
key Key?
Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
layoutDirection TextDirection?
The text direction to use for the embedded view.
finalinherited
onPlatformViewCreated PlatformViewCreatedCallback?
Callback to invoke after the platform view has been created.
finalinherited
runtimeType Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
viewType String
The unique identifier for iOS view type to be embedded by this widget.
