Yeah, sounds interesting. Can you share the fork with us so that we can take a look?

Sure it's at https://github.com/BindrUK/jitsi_meet/tree/platform-view (notice the branch name, it's on platform-view, not master yet).

It's a bit of a Frankenstein at the moment, because many issues with wrapping the native view we could only solve by using the native Java files from the Jitsi React Native repo (the iOS part is much simpler, it's just a wrap of JitsiMeetView instance in a FlutterPlatformView). We are in the process of cleaning it up (maybe directly reference the files from the React Native repo as a submodule, so we don't need to copy them, etc.), however, we are already using it in production and so far the only issues we experienced are sometimes in some cases Jitsi prematurely closes the connection. That, however, looks more related to jitsi/jitsi-meet#11012 than an issue with the platform view (and theoretically should be fixed by updating the Jitsi SDK). This was a bug from our side independent of the native view and now fixed in our app.

There is also an issue with platform view on Flutter v3 (the video feeds are "coming out" of the view and overlap Flutter elements), however that is a known issue, which should be fixed by the Flutter team soon: flutter/flutter#103630

Let me know if this makes sense and how to proceed.

Hi, did you get any chance to do this ?

from jitsi_meet_wrapper.

@geiszla Would you mind sharing some screenshots of an example app that shows the platform view in use?

from jitsi_meet_wrapper.

Sure, here's a recording. You can also try our app for free from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bindr.app)

We are using it as a full-screen native view, but it can be changed to any size and used on any part of the page. We have some buttons on it, which also showcases how to overlay elements on it.

have you finished it yet?

I am sorry, but I won't be able to take a look at this in the near future.
Feel free to create a PR, though, because this is actually really awesome.
