Flutter provides a flexible system to access platform-specific features of Android or IOS.
We can access platform-specific functionality like device information, sensors, battery, device camera, battery level, open browser, etc using flutter platform channels.

Let’s declare platform Channel
|

static const platform = const MethodChannel('com.example.flutter/device_info'); |
Invoke function by passing the function name and arguments.

Future<void> _getDeviceInfo() async { String result; try { platform.invokeMethod('getDeviceInfo',"Pass your payload supported by StandardMethodCodec").then((value) { result = value.toString(); setState(() { deviceInfo = result; }); }); } on PlatformException catch (e) { print("_getDeviceInfo==>${e.message}"); } } |
Let’s Review Complete Flutter code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; import 'package:flutter/services.dart'; void main() { runApp(MyApp()); } class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { // This widget is the root of your application. @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Flutter Demo', theme: ThemeData( primarySwatch: Colors.blue, visualDensity: VisualDensity.adaptivePlatformDensity, ), home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'), ); } } class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget { MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key); final String title; @override _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState(); } class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> { static const platform = const MethodChannel('com.example.flutter/device_info'); String deviceInfo = ""; @override void initState() { _getDeviceInfo(); super.initState(); } Future<void> _getDeviceInfo() async { String result; try { platform.invokeMethod('getDeviceInfo').then((value) { result = value.toString(); setState(() { deviceInfo = result; }); }); } on PlatformException catch (e) { print("_getDeviceInfo==>${e.message}"); } } @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: Text(widget.title), ), body: Center(child: Text(deviceInfo)), ); } } |
I hope this blog will help to access the platform-specific APIs and features.
Happy Learning 🙂
