floating's Issues

Resume current state error

I have a video player, i want to continue the video when i minimize the app, but the state is changed when minimize and the videoPlayer() widget is rebuild and the video is restart, how can i fix it?

PiPSwitcher(
      childWhenEnabled: videoPlayer(),
      childWhenDisabled: Scaffold(body: Column(
      children: [
            videoPlayer(),
            videoList(),
      ],
    ),
);

How to turn off PIP?

This library is great, but I have a problem.

When I use floating.enable, every time I switch the app or minimize the app, there will be a picture in picture. Is there any way to turn off the picture in picture function? I only found the enable method, not the disable method.

Is there is any way to override icons when pip is enabled?

How to avoid re-rendering of widgets when it switches to PiP mode and vice-versa?

Actually the code you see here is rendering a map.

This Widget HereMap() and its functional argument _onMapCreated is very computational expensive, when I switches to PiP mode then childWhenEnabled is called and its re-rending the entire widget (A lot of computations). Can we somehow make it static or something? Just wanna avoid the re-rendering part, Pls help!!!

IllegalStateException when trying to enter PiP mode from SplitScreen

I am running Flutter version 3.7.11 and the newest version of the floating package. Moreover, I use the following code to enter Pip Mode:

@override
  void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState lifecycleState) {
    if (_pipIsSupported) { // only true if '!kIsWeb && Platform.isAndroid'
      if (lifecycleState == AppLifecycleState.inactive) {
        // Only enable PiP if the timer is currently running
        if (state.mode != ModeRegister.IDLE) {
          _floating.enable();
        }
      }
    }
  }

However, I run into issues in the following two situation:

1. On a phone (Pixel 6 Emulator on API level 33):

• Open the app
• Enter App Overview
• Click on the App icon and then on 'Split top'

2. On a tablet (10.1 WXGA Emulator on API lebel 33):

• Open the app in split screen mode
• Use the central divider to put the other app into fullscreen

In both of these cases I get the following exception:

E/flutter ( 6443): [ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(error, Activity must be resumed to enter picture-in-picture, null, java.lang.IllegalStateException: Activity must be resumed to enter picture-in-picture

Any chance that this can be fixed?

[Proposal] for Event Listener Feature

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for creating this amazing package.
I was wondering if there's any chance you could add an event listener to the package?
like onPipDisabled onPipEnabled
I think it would be super helpful.

Thanks again for all your hard work on this, it's greatly appreciated!

When clicking on home button its throwing error, I want the functionality like Google maps, like when you click home button it shows the smaller map

add button actions to pip view

Am trying to add button in pip view. But PiP view is not allowing the button interaction.

dispose doesn't work

Hello, I use floating in a specific page. When the page dispose, I execute floating.dispose() too. But
I will find the floating window doesn't closed, it still show on my phone.
Is there any advice?
Thank you very much.

Arguments for PictureInPictureParams

Thanks for the nice plugin.

Just like the aspect ratio, could you please add arguments when enabling PiP, to be passed to the PictureInPictureParams builder? I'm specifically interested in source rect hint.
