contacts_provider 0.1.4

Flutter package for observing contact changes, and providing onDelete, onCreate, onUpdate and onChange events.

Under development

contacts_provider

add these to android manifest file:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />  
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" /> 

Manual initialization

/main.dart initializing the contacts and asking for permissions.
You can ask for the permissions wherever you like, it is just for the demonstration purposes.

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  
  // initializing contacts_provider
  final contacts = Contacts();
  await contacts.handlePermissions();
  await contacts.init();

  runApp(const MainApp());
}

Using ContactsBuilder

/home.dart

class HomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ContactsBuilder(
      onCreate: (event) {
        // on create behavior goes here

        // you can access the event from here.

        // new contact list after event has happened
        event.contactList;

        // only effected contact list, in case of create
        // it will be the contacts that were created
        event.effectedContacts;
        // event type
        event.event;
      },
      onUpdate: (event) {
        // on update behavior goes here
      },
      onDelete: (event) {
        // on delete behavior goes here
      },
      onChange: () {
        // If you specify this, it will be executed on any changes will happen in contacts;
      },
      builder: (context, allLatestContacts) {
        // receive new list of contacts here.
        return ListView.builder(
          itemCount: allLatestContacts,
          itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
            final contact = allLatestContacts[index];
            return ContactListTile(contact: contact);
          },
        );
      },
    );
  }
}
