'Flutter app with BLE and geolocation updates in foreground and backgroud
I have to build a flutter app that:
- receive data from a BLE device
- add geolocation info
My major concern is on how to keep receiving both data even when the user receives a call, switch to a different app or the screen simply turns off. I have to build a service in native code (Swift, Kotlin) that keeps the flutter app always running? Is there a way to keep flutter always in the foreground and show only toast notifications?
The flutter package geolocation seems to work even in background simple using:
StreamSubscription<LocationResult> subscription = Geolocation.locationUpdates(
accuracy: LocationAccuracy.best,
displacementFilter: 10.0, // in meters
inBackground: true, // by default, location updates will pause when app is inactive (in background). Set to `true` to continue updates in background.
)
.listen((result) {
if(result.isSuccessful) {
// todo with result
}
});
// cancelling subscription will also stop the ongoing location request
subscription.cancel();
But how to keep receiving BLE data?
