In breaking change flutter/engine#4487, a typo was fixed in our Android
APIs correcting RequestPermissionResult to RequestPermissionsResult
(note the 's' on Permissions) for consistency with the Android SDK.
Various tombstone comments were left to help guide developers in the
right direction. These comments were slated for removal in March of
2018; at over a year later, we can probably safely remove them.
Decouple PlatformViewsController from FlutterView.
Instead of getting a FlutterView instance, depend on the specific interfaces required by
PlatformViewsController (BinaryMessenger, TextureRegistry, and Context).
This allows using PlatformViewsControlling in the flutter/embedding
code.
* Flush all embedded Android view on hot restart.
Adds an OnEngineRestarted method to PlatformView, this is currently only
implemented for Android where we need to use it for embedded views.
* review comments followup
* rename to OnPreEngineRestart, call before Clone
To keep the scope of this CL as small of possible I'm leaving the actual
implementation of the platform view mechanics to a following CL.
This CL introduces:
* A PlatformViewsController class which will be responsible for creating,
resizing, and disposing platform views.
* A PlatformViewRegistry which is exposed through the PluginRegistry
and allows plugins to register factories for platform views.
Android plugin code will add support for a new platform view type by
implementing PlatformViewFactory, and registering a factory with the
registry, e.g:
```java
registrar.platformViewRegistry().registerViewFactory(
'webview',
new FlutterWebViewFactory()
);
```
On the Dart side, the framework will ask the engine to create new
platform views by sending a create message over the platformviews method
channel with the unique platform view type id, dimensions, and a unique
id allocated by the framework for the new platform view instance.
The platformviews method channel is also used for resizing and disposing
platform views.
