Folio Reader Android In Flutter

We’ll integrate the native Folio Reader Android SDK in a Flutter project using the Method Channel.

For the purpose of implementing various functionality in your Flutter project, Flutter offers various dependencies. However, some libraries might not be offered by Flutter or might not be of the same caliber as native SDKs. Therefore, we incorporate native SDKs into the Flutter project.

Flutter offers a variety of libraries for opening epub files, this one meets my needs.

Additionally, you may read more about Mobikul’s Flutter app development services.

Let’s now look at how to incorporate native SDK into a Flutter app.

Create New Flutter App name – Flutter With Folio Reader.

Main.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: true,
      title: 'Folio Reader With Flutter',
      theme: ThemeData(
        colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple),
        useMaterial3: true,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(),
    );
  }
}

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

void main() {

runApp(const MyApp());

}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {

const MyApp({super.key});

@override

Widget build(BuildContext context) {

return MaterialApp(

debugShowCheckedModeBanner: true,

title: 'Folio Reader With Flutter',

theme: ThemeData(

colorScheme: ColorScheme.fromSeed(seedColor: Colors.deepPurple),

useMaterial3: true,

home: const MyHomePage(),

);

}

HomePage.dart

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {

  //Method Channel
  var methodChannel = const MethodChannel("folio_reader_sdk");

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        backgroundColor: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.inversePrimary,
        title: const Text("Folio Reader with Flutter"),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: TextButton(
          onPressed: _openSdk,
          child: const Text("Open Folio Reader"),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  void _openSdk() async {
    try {
      await methodChannel.invokeMethod("openFolioSDK", "");
    } on PlatformException catch (e) {
       debugPrint("Failed to Invoke: '${e.message}'.");
    }
  }

}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {

const MyHomePage({super.key});

@override

State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();

}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {

//Method Channel

var methodChannel = const MethodChannel("folio_reader_sdk");

@override

Widget build(BuildContext context) {

return Scaffold(

appBar: AppBar(

backgroundColor: Theme.of(context).colorScheme.inversePrimary,

title: const Text("Folio Reader with Flutter"),

body: Center(

child: TextButton(

onPressed: _openSdk,

child: const Text("Open Folio Reader"),

);

}

void _openSdk() async {

try {

await methodChannel.invokeMethod("openFolioSDK", "");

} on PlatformException catch (e) {

debugPrint("Failed to Invoke: '${e.message}'.");

}

Why Do We Require Method Channel?

One of the biggest challenges for mobile cross-platform frameworks is how to achieve native performance
how to help developers create different kinds of features for different devices and platforms with as little effort as possible.
In doing so, we need to keep in mind that UX should remain the same but with unique components that are specific for each particular platform (Android and iOS).

To Know about Method Channel read this blog.

We have added an ebook for extension .epub in our flutter project assets. Now, we will pass this ebook path in our method as an argument & will use this on our android side.

We have fetched the path of the asset in android & used it to open our book using the Folio Reader Android In Flutter using android webview.

That’s all for this Article 🎊 .

Conclusion

We’ve Integrated Folio Reader Android In Flutter In this blog, we’ve learned how to call native SDK In Flutter.

Thanks for reading this blog. You can also check other blogs from here for more knowledge.

Hi Parveen!
I have followed all the steps you mentioned, but I am still facing some Gradle errors. Could you please share the source code of this project?

Hi Chitraarasu ,
Thank you for your patience. Unfortunately, it is not possible to share the source code with you. The ‘Gradle errors’ you mentioned are related to the app’s end and occur in the Android build.gradle files. However, we would be more than happy to assist you in fixing the issue. Please let us know the specific details, and we’ll do our best to help.

Hi Parveen!

Thanks for this article. I have been following through the setting up process but I am lost from where you say we should add settings to folioreader/build.gradle. Also I do not understand the section where you say flutter main activity here: “MainActivity of Flutter project”. Do i create MainActivity class and if so, where do I put it in my flutter project?

Thanks for taking time to read and reply!

Thanks Tiberius,Flutter doesn’t provide the MainActivity, It comes under the Android folder in the project.Path : android –> app –> src –> main –> kotlin –> YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME –> MainActivity.You need to add the folio-reader SDK folder to your Android folder in the project and then add it in the settings.gradle file of the project. As I have shown in the blog screenshot.

NOTE: Before starting all this I suggest please check the Android folder structure. It’ll help you a lot in integrating the SDK.

Let me know for any more queries. Happy to help.
