sqlite3_flutter_libs 0.5.26

Flutter plugin to include native sqlite3 libraries with your app

sqlite3_flutter_libs

This package intentionally contains no Dart code. Flutter apps depending on this package will contain native sqlite3 libraries on Android, iOS, macOS, Linux and Windows.

For more details on how to actually use this package in a Flutter app, see sqlite3.

The sqlite3 version compiled with this package uses the recommended compile-time options. Additionally, it ships the fts5 module by default (the json1 module is part of the default build in recent sqlite3 versions). No other modules are included in these builds.

Notes on Android

Included platforms

Note that, on Android, this library will bundle sqlite3 for all of the following platforms:

• arm64-v8a
• armeabi-v7a
• x86
• x86_64

If you don't intend to release to 32-bit x86 devices, you'll need to apply a filter in your build.gradle:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ndk {
            abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a', 'x86_64'
        }
    }
}

Problems on Android 6

There appears to be a problem when loading native libraries on Android 6 (see this issue). If you're seeing those crashes, you could try setting android.bundle.enableUncompressedNativeLibs=false in your gradle.properties file. Be aware that this increases the size of your application when installed.

Alternatively, you can use the applyWorkaroundToOpenSqlite3OnOldAndroidVersions method from this library. It will try to open sqlite3 in Java, which seems to work more reliably. After sqlite3 has been loaded from Java, we can open it in Dart too. The method should be called before using sqlite3 (either directly or indirectly through say a NativeDatabase from package:drift).

As applyWorkaroundToOpenSqlite3OnOldAndroidVersions uses platform channels, there may be issues when using it on a background isolate. We recommend awaiting it in the main isolate, before spawning a background isolate that might use the database.

Providing a temporary path

If you have complex queries failing with a SQLITE_IOERR_GETTEMPPATH 6410 error, you could try to explicitly set the temporary path used by sqlite3. This comment contains a snippet to do just that.
