FFIgen + JNIgen pedometer
This is a demo for some of our tooling around calling platform APIs directly from dart code. This repository represents a demo of a plugin that leverages FFIgen & JNIgen. There is also an example pedometer app that uses the bindings generated from these tools.
- FFIgen is used to generate bindings for C, Objective-C and Swift APIs
- JNIgen is used to generate bindings for Java and Kotlin APIs
These tools are both experimental and are currently a work in progress. If you find any issues or have feedback, please file it on the corresponding Github repositories.
Re-generating bindings
The bindings that allow the dart code to call the platform code have already been generated here. You can regenerate them by following the steps below.
FFIgen
Configuration for FFIgen is here for the CoreMotion framework. FFIgen currently does not support autogenerating the code to handle callbacks. So, there were a few steps needed to appropriately handle callbacks in Objective-C. You can read more here.
dart run ffigen --config ffigen.yaml
JNIgen
Configuration for JNIgen is here for the HealthConnect API.
cd Example && flutter build apk
cd .. && dart run jnigen --config jnigen.yaml
Running the example app
Note that step counting is only available on physical devices.
iOS
flutter run
- Allow pedometer app access to step counting
Android
- Make sure that Google Fit is installed (to ensure that steps are being counted)
flutter run
- Install Health Connect and grant access to Google Fit and the jni_demo app
Project stucture

src
: Contains the native source code, and a CMakeLists.txt file for building that source code into a dynamic library. -
lib
: Contains the Dart code that defines the API of the plugin, and which calls into the native code usingdart:ffi
. -
