Flutter: Unhandled exeption ':app:processDebugResources', problem with open file packages

I managed to add to services in my app (Create Excel file - Create PDF file) In both services I had a problem with open file packages..

Packages I used:

I used many packages for that purpose, but I think there is a problem I didn't catch it by adding scripts in (AndroidManifest.xml) file, build.gradle (project level).

I will show you my code.

By the way, I'm using GetX package, so there is the Controller class:

import 'dart:io';
import 'dart:typed_data';
import 'package:get/get.dart';
import 'package:open_document/open_document.dart';
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';
import 'package:uuid/uuid.dart';
import '../model/bill_model.dart';
import 'package:pdf/pdf.dart';
import 'package:pdf/widgets.dart' as pw;

class BillController extends GetxController {
  static BillController instance = BillController();

  List<String> options = ['Cleaning Tax', 'Running Costs', 'Delay Tax'];

  List<BillModel> taxOptions = [
    BillModel(id: const Uuid().v1(), name: 'Cleaning Tax'),
    BillModel(id: const Uuid().v1(), name: 'Running Costs'),
    BillModel(id: const Uuid().v1(), name: 'Delay Tax'),
  ];

  List<BillModel> selectedOptions = [];

  Future<Uint8List> createPDF() async {
    final pdf = pw.Document();
    pdf.addPage(
      pw.Page(
        build: (context) {
          return pw.Center(
            child: pw.Text('Hello World'),
          );
        },
      ),
    );
    update();
    return pdf.save();
  }

  Future savePdfFile(String fileName, Uint8List byteList) async {
    final output = await getTemporaryDirectory();
    var filePath = '${output.path}/$fileName.pdf';
    final file = File(filePath);
    await file.writeAsBytes(byteList);
    await OpenDocument.openDocument(filePath: filePath);
    update();
  }
}

And here is where I call it in the UI class:

GetBuilder<BillController>(
            builder: (controller) => Padding(
              padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: Dimensions.height80),
              child: AddSaveButton(
                title: 'Create bill',
                fontSize: Dimensions.font24,
                onPress: () async {
                  final data = await controller.createPDF();
                  controller.savePdfFile('invoice_5', data);
                },
              ),
            ),
          ),

I faced this problem:

Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(channel-error, Unable to establish connection on channel., null, null)

and got a solution form this link in StackOverFlow Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(channel-error, Unable to establish connection on channel., null, null)

After that got new problem : app:processDebugResources and got the acceptable answer in StackOverFlow too in this link: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources' in Flutter project

my AndroidManifest.xml file:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.water_collection">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

    <provider
            android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"

                android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
                android:resource="@xml/provider_paths" />
    </provider>

    <application
        android:label="Water collection"
        android:name="${applicationName}"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">

        <activity

            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">

            <meta-data

              android:resource="@style/NormalTheme"
              />
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <!-- Don't delete the meta-data below.
             This is used by the Flutter tool to generate GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="flutterEmbedding"
            android:value="2" />
    </application>
</manifest>

Finally nothing had improved, but still didn't know why?!!

Any help will be appreciated.

Solution

  • Finally after a week of searching, I have got a solution.. All what I did was correct, but the problem was in the "Open file" packages.. All packages I used have problems.

    At the end I use a package called open_file_plus and every thing worked fine.

    I got some information from this URL: Open file by default application flutter
