This plugin is used to recognize user activity on Android and iOS platforms. To implement this plugin, Android used ActivityRecognitionClient and iOS used CMMotionActivityManager.

pub package

Features

  • Can check or request activity recognition permission.
  • Subscribe to an activity stream to detect user activity in real time.

Getting started

To use this plugin, add flutter_activity_recognition as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file. For example:

dependencies:
  flutter_activity_recognition: ^3.1.0

After adding the flutter_activity_recognition plugin to the flutter project, we need to specify the platform-specific permissions and services to use for this plugin to work properly.

:baby_chick: Android

Open the AndroidManifest.xml file and add the following permissions between the <manifest> and <application> tags.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION" />

:baby_chick: iOS

Open the ios/Runner/Info.plist file and add the following permission inside the <dict> tag.

<key>NSMotionUsageDescription</key>
<string>Used to recognize user activity information.</string>

How to use

  1. Create a FlutterActivityRecognition instance.
final activityRecognition = FlutterActivityRecognition.instance;
  1. Checks whether activity recognition permission is granted.
Future<bool> isPermissionGrants() async {
  // Check if the user has granted permission. If not, request permission.
  PermissionRequestResult reqResult;
  reqResult = await activityRecognition.checkPermission();
  if (reqResult == PermissionRequestResult.PERMANENTLY_DENIED) {
    dev.log('Permission is permanently denied.');
    return false;
  } else if (reqResult == PermissionRequestResult.DENIED) {
    reqResult = await activityRecognition.requestPermission();
    if (reqResult != PermissionRequestResult.GRANTED) {
      dev.log('Permission is denied.');
      return false;
    }
  }

  return true;
} 
  1. Subscribe to an activity stream to receive activity data in real time.
// Subscribe to the activity stream.
final _activityStreamSubscription = activityRecognition.activityStream
  .handleError(_handleError)
  .listen(_onActivityReceive);
  1. When the widget is dispose or the plugin is finished using, cancel the subscription.
@override
void dispose() {
  activityStreamSubscription?.cancel();
  super.dispose();
}
