My Flutter version:

[✓] Flutter (Channel stable, 1.22.5, on Mac OS X 10.14.6 18G6032 darwin-x64, locale en-IN)

my question is how to call result.success from android native to flutter?

Answer 1

result.success can only be called once. The simplest way to send multiple data from native to dart is to reverse the process.

• In dart, setup the method call handler via setMethodCallHandler.
• In Android, call invokeMethod.

Sample:

Dart code

import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

class TestChannel {
  TestChannel._() {
    _platform.setMethodCallHandler(_fromNative);
  }

  static const _platform = const MethodChannel('samples.flutter.dev/test');

  static TestChannel _instance;

  static get instance => _instance ??= TestChannel._();

  Future<bool> callTest() async {
    bool res = false;
    
    try {
      res = await _platform.invokeMethod('myMethod') == 1;
    } on PlatformException catch (e) {
      print('Error = $e');
    }

    print('Is call successful? $res');
    return res;
  }

  Future<void> _fromNative(MethodCall call) async {
    if (call.method == 'callTestResuls') {
      print('callTest result = ${call.arguments}');
    }
  }
}

Native code

package com.example.sample_app

import androidx.annotation.NonNull
import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity
import io.flutter.embedding.engine.FlutterEngine
import io.flutter.plugin.common.MethodChannel

class MainActivity: FlutterActivity() {

    private val CHANNEL = "samples.flutter.dev/test"

    private lateinit var methodChannel: MethodChannel

    override fun configureFlutterEngine(@NonNull flutterEngine: FlutterEngine) {
        super.configureFlutterEngine(flutterEngine)

        methodChannel = MethodChannel(flutterEngine.dartExecutor.binaryMessenger, CHANNEL)
        methodChannel.setMethodCallHandler {
            call, result ->
            if (call.method == "myMethod") {
                result.success(1)
                generateResults()
            }
        }
    }

    private fun generateResults() {
        for (i in 1..10) {
            methodChannel.invokeMethod("callTestResuls", i)
        }
    }

}

Answer 2

flutter plugin code

---

  static Future<String?> get IpAddress_Wifi_tetherorwifi async {
final String? version =
    await _channel.invokeMethod('Wifi_tetherorWifi', {'key': 'true'});
return version;

}

Android kotlin

    methodChannel.setMethodCallHandler {
            call, result ->  if(call.method="SetHotspotEnable") enableDevice.SetHotspotEnable(object :
                EnableDevice.Ihotspot {
                override fun onEnableHotspot(hospot: Pigeon.Hotspot) {
//-------------------> this condition solve the problem
                    if (call.hasArgument("key"))
                        result.success(hospot.toMap());
                }

            })}

Here i am using a callback function so .i am usnig methodchannel not eventchannel.so after success result (may be first time success or error) when ever any second callback i got this error.so what i did that.for this solution i add argument check the argument in the callback.it works . Another method is declare local flag and check
