Interface ActivityControlSurface

public interface ActivityControlSurface

Control surface through which an Activity attaches to a FlutterEngine.

An Activity that contains a FlutterView and associated FlutterEngine should coordinate itself with the FlutterEngine's ActivityControlSurface.

1. Once an Activity is created, and its associated FlutterEngine is executing Dart code, the Activity should invoke attachToActivity(Activity, Lifecycle). At this point the FlutterEngine is considered "attached" to the Activity and all ActivityAware plugins are given access to the Activity.
2. Just before an attached Activity is destroyed for configuration change purposes, that Activity should invoke detachFromActivityForConfigChanges(), giving each ActivityAware plugin an opportunity to clean up its references before the is destroyed.
3. When an Activity is recreated after configuration changes, that Activity should invoke #reattachToActivityAfterConfigChange(Activity) so that all ActivityAware plugins can re-establish references to the Activity.
4. When an Activity is destroyed for non-configuration-change purposes, or when the Activity is no longer interested in displaying a FlutterEngine's content, the Activity should invoke detachFromActivity().

The attached Activity should also forward all Activity calls that this ActivityControlSurface supports, e.g., onRequestPermissionsResult(int, String[], int[]). These forwarded calls are made available to all ActivityAware plugins that are added to the attached FlutterEngine.

Method Detail

attachToActivity

void attachToActivity(@NonNull
                      Activity activity,
                      @NonNull
                      androidx.lifecycle.Lifecycle lifecycle)

Call this method from the Activity that is displaying the visual content of the FlutterEngine that is associated with this ActivityControlSurface.

Once an Activity is created, and its associated FlutterEngine is executing Dart code, the Activity should invoke this method. At that point the FlutterEngine is considered "attached" to the Activity and all ActivityAware plugins are given access to the Activity.

detachFromActivityForConfigChanges

void detachFromActivityForConfigChanges()

Call this method from the Activity that is attached to this ActivityControlSurfaces's FlutterEngine when the Activity is about to be destroyed due to configuration changes.

This method gives each ActivityAware plugin an opportunity to clean up its references before the is destroyed.

detachFromActivity

void detachFromActivity()

Call this method from the Activity that is attached to this ActivityControlSurfaces's FlutterEngine when the Activity is about to be destroyed for non-configuration-change reasons.

This method gives each ActivityAware plugin an opportunity to clean up its references before the is destroyed.

onRequestPermissionsResult

boolean onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode,
                                   @NonNull
                                   String[] permissions,
                                   @NonNull
                                   int[] grantResult)

Call this method from the Activity that is attached to this ActivityControlSurface's FlutterEngine and the associated method in the Activity is invoked.

Returns true if one or more plugins utilized this permission result.

onActivityResult

boolean onActivityResult(int requestCode,
                         int resultCode,
                         @Nullable
                         Intent data)

Call this method from the Activity that is attached to this ActivityControlSurface's FlutterEngine and the associated method in the Activity is invoked.

Returns true if one or more plugins utilized this Activity result.

onNewIntent

void onNewIntent(@NonNull
                 Intent intent)

Call this method from the Activity that is attached to this ActivityControlSurface's FlutterEngine and the associated method in the Activity is invoked.

onUserLeaveHint

void onUserLeaveHint()

Call this method from the Activity that is attached to this ActivityControlSurface's FlutterEngine and the associated method in the Activity is invoked.

onSaveInstanceState

void onSaveInstanceState(@NonNull
                         Bundle bundle)

Call this method from the Activity or Fragment that is attached to this ActivityControlSurface's FlutterEngine when the associated method is invoked in the Activity or Fragment.

onRestoreInstanceState

void onRestoreInstanceState(@Nullable
                            Bundle bundle)

Call this method from the Activity or Fragment that is attached to this ActivityControlSurface's FlutterEngine when Activity.onCreate(Bundle) or Fragment#onActivityCreated(Bundle) is invoked in the Activity or Fragment.
