Package io.flutter.embedding.engine.dart

## Class DartExecutor

- java.lang.Object
- - io.flutter.embedding.engine.dart.DartExecutor

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `BinaryMessenger`

      public class DartExecutor
      extends Object
      implements BinaryMessenger

  Configures, bootstraps, and starts executing Dart code.

  To specify a top-level Dart function to execute, use a `DartExecutor.DartEntrypoint` to tell `DartExecutor` where to find the Dart code to execute, and which Dart function to use as the entrypoint. To execute the entrypoint, pass the `DartExecutor.DartEntrypoint` to `executeDartEntrypoint(DartEntrypoint)`.

  To specify a Dart callback to execute, use a `DartExecutor.DartCallback`. A given Dart callback must be registered with the Dart VM to be invoked by a `DartExecutor`. To execute the callback, pass the `DartExecutor.DartCallback` to `executeDartCallback(DartCallback)`.

  Once started, a `DartExecutor` cannot be stopped. The associated Dart code will execute until it completes, or until the `FlutterEngine` that owns this `DartExecutor` is destroyed.

    - #### onAttachedToJNI

          public void onAttachedToJNI()

      Invoked when the `FlutterEngine` that owns this `DartExecutor` attaches to JNI.

      When attached to JNI, this `DartExecutor` begins handling 2-way communication to/from the Dart execution context. This communication is facilitate via 2 APIs:

      Deprecated.
      Use `getBinaryMessenger()` instead.
      Description copied from interface: `BinaryMessenger`
      Registers a handler to be invoked when the Flutter application sends a message to its host platform.

      Registration overwrites any previous registration for the same channel name. Use a null handler to deregister.

      If no handler has been registered for a particular channel, any incoming message on that channel will be handled silently by sending a null reply.

      Specified by:
        `setMessageHandler` in interface `BinaryMessenger`
      Parameters:
        `channel` - the name `String` of the channel.
        `handler` - a `BinaryMessenger.BinaryMessageHandler` to be invoked on incoming messages, or null.

    - #### setMessageHandler

          @Deprecated

      Deprecated.
      Use `getBinaryMessenger()` instead.
      Description copied from interface: `BinaryMessenger`
      Registers a handler to be invoked when the Flutter application sends a message to its host platform.

      Registration overwrites any previous registration for the same channel name. Use a null handler to deregister.

      If no handler has been registered for a particular channel, any incoming message on that channel will be handled silently by sending a null reply.

      Specified by:
        `setMessageHandler` in interface `BinaryMessenger`
      Parameters:
        `channel` - the name `String` of the channel.
        `handler` - a `BinaryMessenger.BinaryMessageHandler` to be invoked on incoming messages, or null.
        `taskQueue` - a `BinaryMessenger.TaskQueue` that specifies what thread will execute the handler. Specifying null means execute on the platform thread.

    - #### enableBufferingIncomingMessages

          @Deprecated
          public void enableBufferingIncomingMessages()

      Deprecated.
      Use `getBinaryMessenger()` instead.
      Description copied from interface: `BinaryMessenger`
      Enables the ability to queue messages received from Dart.

      This is useful when there are pending channel handler registrations. For example, Dart may be initialized concurrently, and prior to the registration of the channel handlers. This implies that Dart may start sending messages while plugins are being registered.

      Specified by:
        `enableBufferingIncomingMessages` in interface `BinaryMessenger`

    - #### disableBufferingIncomingMessages

          @Deprecated
          public void disableBufferingIncomingMessages()

      Deprecated.
      Use `getBinaryMessenger()` instead.
      Description copied from interface: `BinaryMessenger`
      Disables the ability to queue messages received from Dart.

      This can be used after all pending channel handlers have been registered.

      Specified by:
        `disableBufferingIncomingMessages` in interface `BinaryMessenger`

    - #### getPendingChannelResponseCount

          @UiThread
          public int getPendingChannelResponseCount()

      Returns the number of pending channel callback replies.

      When sending messages to the Flutter application using `BinaryMessenger.send(String, ByteBuffer, io.flutter.plugin.common.BinaryMessenger.BinaryReply)`, developers can optionally specify a reply callback if they expect a reply from the Flutter application.

      This method tracks all the pending callbacks that are waiting for response, and is supposed to be called from the main thread (as other methods). Calling from a different thread could possibly capture an indeterministic internal state, so don't do it.

      Currently, it's mainly useful for a testing framework like Espresso to determine whether all the async channel callbacks are handled and the app is idle.

    - #### getIsolateServiceId

          @Nullable
          public String getIsolateServiceId()

      Returns an identifier for this executor's primary isolate. This identifier can be used in queries to the Dart service protocol.

    - #### setIsolateServiceIdListener

          public void setIsolateServiceIdListener​(@Nullable
                                                  DartExecutor.IsolateServiceIdListener listener)

      Set a listener that will be notified when an isolate identifier is available for this executor's primary isolate.

    - #### notifyLowMemoryWarning

          public void notifyLowMemoryWarning()

      Notify the Dart VM of a low memory event, or that the application is in a state such that now is an appropriate time to free resources, such as going to the background.

      This does not notify a Flutter application about memory pressure. For that, use the `SystemChannel.sendMemoryPressureWarning()`.

      Calling this method may cause jank or latency in the application. Avoid calling it during critical periods like application startup or periods of animation.
