Wearable Flutter Fragment Application

Flutter plugin that prevents the common issues that are present while making a flutter based application for Wear OS. It also provides a widget to make your pages dynamically dismissible.

Description

The following issues are fixed by the plugin:

Black screen when cancelling on dismiss on Wear OS 2.0

without plugin	with plugin

No way to navigate back on flutter pages

without plugin	with plugin

It uses a full screen flutter fragment and a special layout to make the application working as intended, examples can be found on the git repository to help you customize your application.

Examples:

Setup:

Android

Change the default activity in your manifest to the one that the plugin provides, or the inherited one that you make.

<activity
	android:name="hu.popoapps.wearable_flutter_fragment_application.activity.WearableFragmentActivity"
	android:exported="true">
	<intent-filter>
		<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
		<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
	</intent-filter>
</activity>

Flutter

You must include WearableFragmentApplication().observers in your MaterialApp.navigatorObservers

MaterialApp(
        title: 'Wearable Flutter Fragment Application Example',
        theme: ThemeData(),
        navigatorObservers: WearableFragmentApplication().observers,
        home: Container());

Important note

Don't extend the function of MainActivity : FlutterAcivity() (eg. for MethodChannel), the app won't use it. You can inherit from the Android wrapper activity and extend its functions yourself:

WearableCoreFragmentActivity: does not set content view
WearableFragmentActivity: sets a basic content view

Usage:

To use this plugin, add wearable_flutter_fragment_application as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file. See: https://pub.dev/packages/wearable_flutter_fragment_application/install

I use SlideableNavigator for the examples, because the plugin does not yet have a wear OS styled one right now.

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
        debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
        title: 'Wearable Flutter Fragment Application Example',
        theme: ThemeData(),
        navigatorObservers: WearableFragmentApplication().observers,
        home: DismissibleContainer(isDismissible: true, child: ExamplePage(generateColor())));
  }
}

class ExamplePage extends StatelessWidget {
  final Color background;

  const ExamplePage(this.background, {super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        backgroundColor: background,
        body: Center(
            child: CustomButton(
                onPressed: () =>
                    Navigator.of(context).push(SwipeablePageRoute(
                        builder: (context) => ExamplePage(generateColor()))),
                title: "New page",
                image: const Icon(Icons.open_in_new, color: Colors.white))));
  }
}
