Youtube_player_flutter: conflict with webview_flutter

[3ace]

when I include both webview_flutter and youtube_player_flutter, application would crash upon starts with the following warning and error

I had to remove webview_flutter to be able to run the application.

I only tested this problem on iOS using simulator.

[GeertJohan]

A related problem occurs on android, where the following exception is thrown and the application exits before first frame render.
E/AndroidRuntime( 6955): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{my.app/my.app.MainActivity}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Plugin key io.flutter.plugins.webviewflutter.WebViewFlutterPlugin is already in use

[sarbagyastha]

Sorry for late response 😐, but this plugin has in-built webview plugin, so no need to add webview plugin separately.

[GeertJohan]

@sarbagyastha But my app also uses the webview directly. Can it use the forked version, will that be kept up-to-date with the latest version of webview_flutter? Can the changes in this plugin's fork of webview_flutter be merged upstream so it no longer requires the fork?

I'm using webview_flutter: ^0.3.6 in my app but when having both of them it gives the above error. and when I remove the webview_flutter: ^0.3.6 it gives error because my app needs it.

[sarbagyastha]

@GeertJohan yes the forked version will be kept up-to-date for major updates and performance improvements. Yes, it could be merged but takes a long time to get merge, there are currently many pending webview_flutter PRs in project tracking.

[sarbagyastha]

@Xoshbin , will be updating the plugin tonight, where access to in-built webview will be exported.

[Xoshbin]

@sarbagyastha Thanks I will wait for it then :)

[sarbagyastha]

Version 1.1.1 addresses the issue.

[Xoshbin]

It's not working for me yet, I did remove the webview from dependencies it still gives error, and when I add it it still gives the same error above.

[sarbagyastha]

did you perform full build ?
Also try running flutter clean

[Xoshbin]

Yes I did a full build, and flutter clean with and without the webview_flutter

[sarbagyastha]

Also, If you're using Android Studio, please try invalidating cache. Or perform gradlew clean.
This might be due to leftover of webview_flutter plugin.

[Xoshbin]

Do I have to keep the webview_flutter in the dependancies or remove it?

[Xoshbin]

I did that too, still not working!

[3ace]

I'm able to use the built in WebView using this import statement

import 'package:ytview/ytview.dart';

I think this should be mentioned in the Readme file

[sarbagyastha]

@Xoshbin @3ace You'll need to remove webview_flutter. And with the latest update
import 'package:youtube_player_flutter/youtube_player_flutter.dart';
includes WebView widget.
It's mentioned in Note section of readme.

[Xoshbin]

@sarbagyastha Thanks it's working now.

[adrianvintu]

Can you please make a big note about this in the readme?

And also add the import as specified by @3ace ?

import 'package:ytview/ytview.dart';

This was a very difficult issue to debug.

Maybe actually add a link to this page in the readme?

I find that the existing text is not very clear, especially for someone new to Flutter.

Existing text:
_The plugin causes conflict with webview_flutter plugin as this plugin already contains webview as its dependency. So there is no need of separately adding webview_flutter. You can use WebView from the plugin itself._

Proposal text:

Conflict with webview

You may get an exception like:
program type already present: io.flutter.plugins.webviewflutter
or
Plugin key io.flutter.plugins.webviewflutter.WebViewFlutterPlugin is already in use

The plugin causes conflict with webview_flutter plugin as this plugin already contains webview as its dependency. So there is no need of separately adding webview_flutter. You can use WebView from the plugin itself.

This means:

1. you delete/comment out

dependencies:
  webview_flutter: ^0.3.0

1. you use import 'package:ytview/ytview.dart';
   

   3. optionally, see this ticket for more information

How does this text sound to you?

Thank you for the great work, by the way!

[yamarkz]

thanks! Great work :smile_cat:

[ziggycrane]

When I import
import 'package:youtube_player_flutter/youtube_player_flutter.dart';
and remove "webview_flutter: 0.3.19+7", install all the packages and even flutter clean - it does not work.

It throws an error that - The method "WebView" is not defined.

[srinivasanrsp]

YouTube player plugin uses another plugin webview_media and that uses webview_flutter plugin, so use following import the error should be gone

import 'package:webview_media/webview_flutter.dart'

[jameskaguo777]

import 'package:webview_media/webview_flutter.dart'

This is the most correct Answer.

[NtemKenyor]

I had the same issue using webview_flutter and youtube_player_flutter. I used the solution by @srinivasanrsp. It works.

1) Remove the webview_flutter package from the pubspec.yaml file
2) Use import 'package:webview_media/webview_flutter.dart';

This works just fine.
