Experimental Features
Interact with RtcEngine/AgoraRtcEngineKit on Android/iOS
agora_rtc_engine
has not implemented all the features of agora native (Android/iOS) sdk, due to performance reasons, such
as Custom Audio Source and Renderer, Custom Video Source and Renderer, Raw Audio Data, etc.
agora_rtc_engine
provides RtcEnginePlugin/RtcEnginePlugin, allowing you to to interact with the RtcEngine created on the Flutter side in the Android/iOS code, you can implement your own plugin by inheriting RtcEnginePlugin/RtcEnginePlugin, and get the RtcEngine/AgoraRtcEngineKit in the onRtcEngineCreated
callback.
Please note that you should not call the RtcEngine.destroy/AgoraRtcEngineKit.destroy function on Android/iOS code, because it will affect the RtcEngine on the Flutter side. To see how to use RtcEnginePlugin
, please check the custom audio source example:
Android: CustomCaptureAudioPlugin.kt
iOS: CustomCaptureAudioPlugin.swift
