flutter_sound_lite 5.0.0

Flutter plugin that relates to sound like audio and recorder.

Flutter Sound

This plugin provides simple recorder and player functionalities for both `android` and `ios` platforms.

Features

• Play and Record sounds or music with various codecs. (See the supported codecs here)
• Play local or remote files specified by their URL.
• The App playback can be controled from the device lock screen or from an Apple watch
• Handle playback stream from native (To sync exact time with bridging). [Not sure to understand what it means!]

Flutter Sound branches

We actually maintain two branches for Flutter Sound :

• The V4 branch (the version ^4.0.0)
• The master branch (actually the version ^5.0.0)

We do not expect that everybody will switch today from 4.x.x to 5.x.x.

V4 is our stable branch, and will be maintained as long as everybody will not have switch to V5 : in other words V4 is our LTS version (Long Term Support).

Migration Guides

• To migrate to 4.x.x from 3.x.x you must do some minor changes in your configurations files.
• To migrate to 5.x.x from 4.x.x you must do a few changes in your App.

Here is a guide for Flutter Sound installation

Flutter Sound API

Flutter Sound is composed with 4 modules :

• FlutterSoundPlayer, wich deal with everything about playbacks

• FlutterSoundHelper, which offers some convenients tools
• FlutterSoundUI, which offer some Widget ready to be used out of the box

To use Flutter Sound you just do :

import 'package:flutter_sound/flutter_sound.dart';

This will export all the necessaries dart interfaces.

Examples (Demo Apps)

Flutter Sound comes with two Demo/Examples :

• Demo1 app is a small demonstration of what we can do with Flutter Sound. This Demo App is a kind of exerciser which try to implement the major Flutter Sound features. This Demo does not use the Flutter Sound UI Widgets
• Demo2 app is an example of what can be done using the Flutter Sound UI Widgets
