buttonhandler
This is a sample app with a plugin that handles physical(hardware) button presses. It handles the key presses using intent. From the Logcat, get the name of the intent and use it to handle the functionality of the button. For buttons that are not the usual volume or power button, we handle it using the long key presses because that is the only way we can get the intent for now.
Instanciate it like so PhysicalButtonsHandler.listen(handleKey); inside an initState
then once the hardware button is pressed, th eLogcat prints the intent which looks like so
android.media.VOLUME_CHANGED_ACTION
give it a functionality like so:
void handleKey(var key) {
print(key);
setState(() {
switch (key) {
case "android.media.VOLUME_CHANGED_ACTION":
onLongPress = true;
showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (context) {
return const AlertDialog(
icon: Icon(Icons.ice_skating),
);
});
break;
}
});
}
