Then run:

Usage

Initialization

Before using the NowPlayingView functionality, you need to initialize it with the necessary event handlers:

NowPlayingView.instance.initialize(
  onPlay: () {
    // Handle play event
  },
  onPause: () {
    // Handle pause event
  },
  onNextTrack: () {
    // Handle next track event
  },
  onPreviousTrack: () {
    // Handle previous track event
  },
  onSeek: (time) {
    // Handle seek event
  },
);

Updating Now Playing Information

You can update the Now Playing information at any time using the updateNowPlayingViewInfo method:

await NowPlayingView.instance.updateNowPlayingViewInfo(
  title: 'Song Title',
  artist: 'Artist Name',
  duration: 180.0, // Total duration in seconds
  currentTime: 45.0, // Current playback position in seconds
  playbackRate: 1.0, // Playback rate (1.0 for normal speed)
  imageUrl: 'https://example.com/album_cover.jpg',
);

Notes

  • This plugin currently supports iOS only. Android support may be added in future versions.
  • Make sure to call initialize() before using any other methods of the NowPlayingView instance.
  • The imageUrl parameter in updateNowPlayingViewInfo should be a valid URL to an image file.
