If you use MSIX to package your application, you need to add protocol_activation configuration in msix_config:
msix_config:
protocol_activation: myprotocol
See this issue for details: YehudaKremer/msix#187
import 'package:protocol_handler/protocol_handler.dart';
void main() async {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
await protocolHandler.register('myprotocol');
runApp(MyApp());
}
Listening events
class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
const HomePage({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
@override
State<HomePage> createState() => _HomePageState();
}
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> with ProtocolListener {
@override
void initState() {
protocolHandler.addListener(this);
super.initState();
}
@override
void dispose() {
protocolHandler.removeListener(this);
super.dispose();
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
}
@override
void onProtocolUrlReceived(String url) {
String log = 'Url received: $url)';
print(log);
}
}
