Can i call platform channel from another app in flutter?

Question

I am developing an app in flutter and I want to use an SDK which isn't available for flutter and they have a sample project which is written in java (android native) and I want to integrate that app to my current flutter app, is that possible to be done with platform channels?

My experience in the android native is very weak so I almost can pick up with that project.

Thanks in advance,

Solution

Yes, you can. It's your own app though, not another one. And it's not necessary, but Android Studio will help you.

You have to modify the /android project of your Flutter project. You need to implement the SDK in question, and copy/paste/refactor the relevant sample code. You can then expose this code to the Flutter side via a method channel. To learn how, read this doc.

Important : Hot Restart will not update native code. You have to recompile everytime you want to apply native code changes.
