This project demonstrates how to embed Flutter within an iOS or Android application. On iOS, the iOS and Flutter components are built with Xcode. On Android, the Android and Flutter components are built with Android Studio or gradle.

Create an ios/Flutter/Generated.xcconfig file with this entry:

• FLUTTER_ROOT=[absolute path to the Flutter SDK]

There are a number of other parameters you can control with this file:

• FLUTTER_APPLICATION_PATH: The path to the directory that contains your pubspec.yaml file relative to your xcodeproj file.
• FLUTTER_BUILD_MODE: Whether to build for debug, profile, or release. Defaults to release.
• FLUTTER_TARGET: The path to your main.dart relative to your pubspec.yaml. Defaults to lib/main.dart.
• FLUTTER_FRAMEWORK_DIR: The absolute path to the directory that contains Flutter.framework. Defaults to the ios-release version of Flutter.framework in the bin/cache directory of the Flutter SDK.

Once you've configured your project, you can open ios/HelloServices.xcodeproj in Xcode and build the project as usual.

Create an android/local.properties file with these entries:

• sdk.dir=[path to the Android SDK]
• flutter.sdk=[path to the Flutter SDK]

There are a number of other parameters you can control with this file:

• flutter.buildMode: Whether to build for debug, profile, or release. Defaults to release.
• flutter.jar: The path to flutter.jar. Defaults to the android-arm-release version of flutter.jar in the bin/cache directory of the Flutter SDK.

See android/app/build.gradle for project specific settings, including:

• source: The path to the directory that contains your pubspec.yaml file relative to your build.gradle file.
• target: The path to your main.dart relative to your pubspec.yaml. Defaults to lib/main.dart.

To build directly with gradle, use the following commands:

• cd android
• gradle wrapper
• ./gradlew build

To build with Android Studio, open the android folder in Android Studio and build the project as usual.

You can push new Dart code to a Flutter app during development without performing a full rebuild of the Android app package.

The flutter refresh tool manages this process. flutter refresh will build a snapshot of an app's Dart code, copy it to an Android device, and send an intent instructing the Android app to load the snapshot.

To try this out:

• Install and run the app on your device
• Edit the Dart code
• flutter refresh --activity a14n.geolocation/.MainActivity

flutter refresh sends an ACTION_RUN intent with an extra containing the device filesystem path where the snapshot was copied. ExampleActivity.java shows how an activity can handle this intent and load the new snapshot into a FlutterView.
