To use the flutterbackgroundservice plugin to send an HTTP request, you can follow these steps:
flutter pub get
import 'package:flutter_background_service/flutter_background_service.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;
Future<void> sendHttpRequest() async {
final response = await http.get(Uri.parse('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1'));
if (response.statusCode == 200) {
print(response.body);
} else {
print('Request failed with status: ${response.statusCode}.');
}
}
main
function of your app, set up the background task using the flutter_background_service
plugin:void main() {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
FlutterBackgroundService.initialize(onStart);
runApp(MyApp());
}
void onStart() {
BackgroundService().sendData({'action': 'start'});
Timer.periodic(Duration(seconds: 10), (Timer t) {
BackgroundService().sendData({'action': 'ping'});
});
sendHttpRequest();
BackgroundService().stop();
}
In the onStart
function, call the sendHttpRequest
function which will send the HTTP request when the background task is started.
Finally, run the app and start the background task. The HTTP request will be sent in the background, and the response will be printed to the console.
