Picture in Picture

In the context of online conferencing increasingly developing, picture in picture is one of the should-have features of online meetings software.

Apply in the code

We will use simple_pip_mode to implement PiP on Android

Installation

  • In the dependencies: section of your pubspec.yaml, add the following line:
simple_pip_mode: <latest_version>
  • Update AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity
  android:name=".MainActivity"
  android:exported="true"
  android:launchMode="singleTop"
  android:theme="@style/LaunchTheme"
  android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|keyboard|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|locale|layoutDirection|fontScale|screenLayout|density|uiMode"
  android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
  android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
  android:supportsPictureInPicture="true" <---- add this line to your activity
></activity>

Setting automatic pip mode

void _onEventChanged(CallbackPayload event) {
    if (event.event != CallbackEvents.meetingEnded) {
       if (Platform.isAndroid) {
           SimplePip().setAutoPipMode();
       }
    }
}

Setup PiP View

Wrap body of MeetingScreen by PipWidget:

if (Platform.isAndroid) {
  return PipWidget(
    pipBuilder: (context) {
      return _buildPipView(context, meeting, callState);
    },
    child: _buildMeetingBody(
      context,
      meeting: meeting,
      callState: callState,
      setting: setting,
    ),
  );
}
