A Flutter plugin that allows communication between multiple applications on Tizen using Tizen Message Port.

messageport_tizen

This plugin adds support for communication between Flutter applications on Tizen platform.

Getting Started

First, import the package in dart file.

import 'package:messageport_tizen/messageport_tizen.dart';

Create local port

Use TizenMessagePort.createLocalPort method to create local port.

String portName = 'servicePort';
LocalPort localPort = await TizenMessagePort.createLocalPort(portName);

To register callback when message arrives to the local port, use LocalPort.register() method.

  void onMessage(Object message, [RemotePort remotePort]) {
    print('Message received: ' + message.toString());
  }
  ...
  localPort.register(onMessage);

Use LocalPort.unregister() to unregister port when it is no longer needed.

  localPort.unregister();

Connect to remote port

To connect to already registered port in remote application, use TizenMessagePort.connectToRemotePort() method.

  String portName = 'servicePort';
  String remoteAppId = 'remote.app.id';
  RemotePort remotePort = await TizenMessagePort.connectToRemotePort(remoteAppId, portName);

Send message

To send message to remote applcation use RemotePort.send() method.

  final message = {"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3};
  try{
    await remotePort.send(message);
  } catch (e) {
    print('Could not send message: ${e.toString()}");
  }

Send message with local port

To send message with local port use RemotePort.send() method. Local port received by remote application can be used to send a response.

  final message = "This is a string message";
  try{
    await remotePort.sendWithLocalPort(message, localPort);
  } catch (e) {
    print('Could not send message: ${e.toString()}");
  }
