Raise Hand - Flutter

Let us see, how we can use PubSub to implement Raise hand functionality. If you are not familiar with the PubSub mechanism you can follow this guide.

Implementing Raise Hand

We will be creating a button when clicked, we will publish a message it the topic RAISE_HAND

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:videosdk/videosdk.dart';

class NotifyView extends StatefulWidget {
  final Room room;
  ...
}

class _NotifyViewState extends State<NotifyView> {

  final msgTextController = TextEditingController();


  @override
  void initState() {
    ...
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Column(
      children:[
        ElevatedButton(
          onPressed:(){
            widget.room.pubSub
                  .publish(
                    "RAISE_HAND",
                    "Raised Hand",
                    const PubSubPublishOptions(
                        persist: true),
                  );
          },
          child: const Text("Raise Hand"),
        ),
      ],
    );
  }

}

Now let us show an alert to all the speakers showing who raised the hand.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:videosdk/videosdk.dart';

class SpeakerView extends StatefulWidget {
  final Room room;
  ...
}

class _SpeakerViewState extends State<SpeakerView> {

  @override
  void initState() {
    ...

    // Subscribing 'RAISE_HAND' Topic
    widget.meeting.pubSub
      .subscribe("RAISE_HAND", messageHandler);
  }

  //Handler which will be called when new mesasge is
  //These is where we will show the message
  void messageHandler(PubSubMessage message) {
    if(context.mounted && widget.room.localParticipant.mode == Mode.CONFERENCE){
      ScaffoldMessenger.of(context).showSnackBar(SnackBar(
        content: Text(
          "${message.senderName} raised hand",
          overflow: TextOverflow.fade,
        ),
      ));
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Column(
      children:[
        ...
      ]
    );
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    // Unsubscribe
    widget.room.pubSub.unsubscribe("RAISE_HAND", messageHandler);
    super.dispose();
  }

}
