PlatformAndroid

An implementation for the Android platform of the Flutter `quick_actions` plugin.

quick_actions_android #

The Android implementation of quick_actions.

Usage #

This package is endorsed, which means you can simply use quick_actions normally. This package will be automatically included in your app when you do, so you do not need to add it to your pubspec.yaml.

However, if you import this package to use any of its APIs directly, you should add it to your pubspec.yaml as usual.

Usage with launcher activities #

If you have an activity that launches a FlutterActivity (this is MainActivity.java/MainActivity.kt by default), then you might need to modify the launch configuration of that activity to have the back press behavior and task back stack that you expect. Common use cases of having such a launcher activity are in an add to app project or if your Flutter project contains multiple Android activities.

For example, consider the case where you have two different quick actions shortcuts for your app and a launcher activity that launches the FlutterActivity. If the launcher activity uses the singleTop launch mode (as Flutter's default MainActivity.java/MainActivity.kt do by default) and the user

  1. Launches your app from the first shortcut
  2. Moves your app into the background by exiting the app
  3. Re-launches your app from the second shortcut

then the user will see what the first shortcut launched, not what the second shortcut was supposed to launch. To fix this, you may set the launch mode of the launcher activity to singleInstance (see Android documentation for more information on this mode) in your_app/android/app/src/mainAndroidManifest.xml:

<activity
        ...
        android:launchMode="singleInstance">

See this issue for more context on this exact scenario and its solution.

Depending on your use case, you may additionally need to set the proper launch mode Intent flags in the Intent that launches the FlutterActivity to achieve your expected back press behavior and task back stack. For example, if MainActivity.java is the FlutterActivity that your launcher activity launches:

public final class LauncherActivity extends Activity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    Intent mainActivityIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    mainActivityIntent.putExtras(getIntent());

    // Add any additional launch mode Intent flags you need:
    mainActivityIntent.addFlags(...);

    startActivity(mainActivityIntent);
    finish();
  }

  ...
}

See Tasks and the back stack for more documentation about the different launch modes and related Intent flags that Android provides.
