Native Audio

An audio plugin for Flutter which makes use of the native Android and iOS audio players, handling playback, notifications and external controls (such as bluetooth).

Getting Started

This plugin works on both Android and iOS, however the following setup is required for each platform.

Android

Prerequisite

• Flutter Project MinSDK 21
• Flutter Project AndroidX

1. Application

Create or modify the Application class as follows:

import io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry
import io.flutter.plugins.GeneratedPluginRegistrant
import com.danielgauci.native_audio.NativeAudioPlugin

class Application : FlutterApplication(), PluginRegistry.PluginRegistrantCallback {

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        NativeAudioPlugin.setPluginRegistrantCallback(this)
    }

    override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry) {
        GeneratedPluginRegistrant.registerWith(registry)
    }
}

This must be reflected in the application's AndroidManifest.xml. E.g.:

    <application
        android:name=".Application"
        ...

Note: Not calling NativeAudioPlugin.setPluginRegistrant will result in an exception being thrown when audio is played.

2. Service & Permissions

Add the following lines to your AndroidManifest.xml to register the background service for geofencing:

<receiver android:name="androidx.media.session.MediaButtonReceiver">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
        <action android:name="android.media.browse.MediaBrowserService" />
    </intent-filter>
</service>

As well as the following lines to setup the permissions required:
