Embed Flutter SDK
Follow this guide in order the first time you integrate. Native microphone setup is required on both Android and iOS — skipping it is the most common source of "the mic dialog never appears" and silent voice failures.
Introduction
The embed_flutter SDK adds a voice AI agent to your app: a floating action button (FAB) backed by LiveKit, navigation-aware visibility, and a user-context channel to your embed backend.
Package: embed_flutter · Version: 0.0.17 · Requires: Flutter ≥ 3.0.0 / Dart ≥ 3.0.0
What you get out of the box
- Realtime voice with the agent through the FAB
- Screen and app context for richer conversations (route tracking via
EmbedNavigatorObserver/EmbedRouteListener, optional explicitSCREEN_STATE) - Event tracking: host-driven analytics and custom payloads via
embedEvent, plus agent lifecycle signals (embedOnAgent) - Server-driven UI for the FAB via
widget_configfrom device registration - Advanced FAB behavior (route flows/groups, show delays + policies, insets, continuity rules): covered in EmbedWidget advanced — read it once you move past a simple
enabledRouteslist
1. Installation
Add the package to your pubspec.yaml:
dependencies:
embed_flutter: ^0.0.17Then fetch:
flutter pub get1.1 Android Setup
Open android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml and add:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MICROPHONE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<!-- WAKE_LOCK keeps the CPU active during voice calls so audio is not interrupted
when the screen turns off. Required by the underlying WebRTC (LiveKit) engine. -->1.2 iOS Setup
Step 1 — Info.plist
Add the microphone usage description to your ios/Runner/Info.plist:
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app needs microphone access for voice calls.</string>Step 2 — Podfile
The SDK requires explicit configuration in your ios/Podfile to enable microphone permission requests. Add the PERMISSION_MICROPHONE=1 macro inside your post_install block:
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
flutter_additional_ios_build_settings(target)
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
'$(inherited)',
## dart: PermissionGroup.microphone
'PERMISSION_MICROPHONE=1',
# ...other permissions...
]
end
end
endWithout the PERMISSION_MICROPHONE=1 macro in the Podfile, the microphone permission dialog will never appear on iOS and the permission will be reported as permanently denied — even if it has not been requested before.
After editing the Podfile, run:
cd ios && pod install && cd ..2. How the SDK Works (Mental Model)
Understanding these three concepts up front makes integration straightforward:
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| EmbedWidget | A full-screen overlay wrapper placed at the very top of your widget tree. It renders the floating AI agent button and manages the live voice session. |
| EmbedNavigatorObserver / EmbedRouteListener | Tells the SDK which screen the user is on so it knows whether to show the agent button. |
| enabledRoutes | A map of route names where the agent button should appear. Only routes listed here will show the agent. |
Order of operations every time:
main()
└─ embedInitialize(apiKey, flowName: 'main') ← before runApp
└─ runApp(
EmbedWidget( ← outermost widget
enabledRoutes: {
'main': ['home', 'product', 'cart'],
},
child: MaterialApp / Router(
navigatorObservers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()], ← required
...
),
),
)
After authentication → embedEvent(USER_DATA, ...) ← activates the agent3. Initialization
Call embedInitialize() before runApp().
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:embed_flutter/embed_flutter.dart';
void main() {
embedInitialize(
'your-api-key',
flowName: 'main', // identifies your agent configuration
embedUrl: 'https://embed.revrag.ai', // optional; defaults to revrag.ai
onResult: (bool success, String? error) {
// Called after the SDK prefetches the UI config from the server.
if (!success) {
print('Embed init failed: $error');
}
},
);
runApp(const MyApp());
}Optional: set app version (sent with every analytics event):
embedSetAppVersion('2.4.1');4. Wrapping Your App with EmbedWidget
EmbedWidget must be the outermost widget — it wraps your MaterialApp / MaterialApp.router / CupertinoApp.
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
// List the routes where the agent button should appear
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['home', 'product_list', 'product_detail', 'cart'],
},
child: MaterialApp(
navigatorObservers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()],
// ... rest of your app
),
);
}
}The agent button appears only on routes listed in enabledRoutes. On all other routes (e.g. splash, login, settings) it is hidden automatically.
Alternatively, to show the agent on every screen except a few:
embedEvent(
EventKeys.CUSTOM_EVENT,
CustomEventPayload(
data: {
'context': 'pricing_screen',
'event': 'option_selected',
'option_id': 'plan_12_months',
'price_per_month': 249,
'currency': 'INR',
},
),
);Available Events
| Event | Purpose | Required | When to Use |
|---|---|---|---|
USER_DATA | Initialize user context and activate EmbedWidget | Required | After user authentication or when user ID is available |
SCREEN_STATE | Provide screen context and navigation info | Optional | When navigating between screens or when screen context changes |
CUSTOM_EVENT | Capture bespoke user interactions | Optional | Whenever you need additional tracking for specific actions |
Basic Usage
Here's a complete example showing how to use the SDK with flow-based activation:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:embed_flutter/embed_flutter.dart';
void main() {
embedInitialize('your-api-key', flowName: 'main');
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['product_list', 'product_detail', 'cart'],
},
child: MaterialApp(
// ✅ Required — tracks route changes
navigatorObservers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()],
initialRoute: '/',
routes: {
'/': (ctx) => const SplashScreen(),
'home': (ctx) => const HomeScreen(),
'product_list': (ctx) => const ProductListScreen(),
'product_detail': (ctx) => const ProductDetailScreen(),
'cart': (ctx) => const CartScreen(),
'checkout': (ctx) => const CheckoutScreen(),
},
),
);
}
}Navigating between routes:
// Push
Navigator.pushNamed(context, 'product_list');
// Push with arguments
Navigator.pushNamed(context, 'product_detail', arguments: {'id': 42});
// Replace (useful for tabs — see section 5.5)
Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, 'cart');EmbedNavigatorObserver intercepts every push, pop, and replace and shows or hides the agent button based on whether the new route is in enabledRoutes.
5.2 MaterialApp with onGenerateRoute
When routes carry parameters you typically use onGenerateRoute. Everything else is identical.
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['welcome', 'personal_info', 'address', 'review'],
},
child: MaterialApp(
navigatorObservers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()], // ✅ required
home: const SplashScreen(),
onGenerateRoute: (settings) {
switch (settings.name) {
case 'welcome':
return MaterialPageRoute(
settings: settings, // ← always pass settings so the observer reads the name
builder: (_) => const WelcomeScreen(),
);
case 'personal_info':
final args = settings.arguments as Map<String, dynamic>?;
return MaterialPageRoute(
settings: settings,
builder: (_) => PersonalInfoScreen(data: args),
);
case 'address':
return MaterialPageRoute(
settings: settings,
builder: (_) => const AddressScreen(),
);
case 'review':
return MaterialPageRoute(
settings: settings,
builder: (_) => const ReviewScreen(),
);
default:
return null;
}
},
),
);
}
}Always pass settings: settings to MaterialPageRoute. Without it the route name is null and the SDK cannot determine whether to show the agent.
5.3 GoRouter
GoRouter uses the name field of each GoRoute for matching. Pass the observer in GoRouter.observers.
import 'package:go_router/go_router.dart';
import 'package:embed_flutter/embed_flutter.dart';
// ── Router definition ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
final _router = GoRouter(
initialLocation: '/splash',
// ✅ Add observer here
observers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()],
routes: [
GoRoute(
path: '/splash',
name: 'splash',
builder: (context, state) => const SplashScreen(),
),
GoRoute(
path: '/home',
name: 'home',
builder: (context, state) => const HomeScreen(),
),
GoRoute(
path: '/product/:id',
name: 'product_detail',
builder: (context, state) {
final id = state.pathParameters['id']!;
return ProductDetailScreen(id: id);
},
),
GoRoute(
path: '/cart',
name: 'cart',
builder: (context, state) => const CartScreen(),
),
GoRoute(
path: '/payment',
name: 'payment',
builder: (context, state) => const PaymentScreen(),
),
],
);
// ── main ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
void main() {
embedInitialize('your-api-key', flowName: 'main');
runApp(const MyApp());
}
// ── App widget ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
// Use the `name:` field from GoRoute — not the path
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['home', 'product_detail', 'cart', 'payment'],
},
child: MaterialApp.router(
routerConfig: _router,
),
);
}
}Navigating with GoRouter:
// By name
context.goNamed('cart');
// By path
context.go('/cart');
// Push (adds to stack)
context.pushNamed('product_detail', pathParameters: {'id': '42'});GoRouter with nameExtractor (path-based matching)
If you prefer to match on URL paths instead of route names, supply a nameExtractor to the observer:
EmbedNavigatorObserver(
nameExtractor: (route) {
final name = route.settings.name ?? '';
if (name.startsWith('/product/')) return 'product_detail';
if (name == '/cart') return 'cart';
return null; // null = SDK ignores this push
},
)Then use those extracted names in enabledRoutes as usual.
5.4 GoRouter with ShellRoute (Bottom Tab Navigator)
ShellRoute keeps a persistent shell (e.g. a bottom navigation bar) while swapping child routes. The challenge is that ShellRoute children run inside a nested navigator — the top-level observer does not fire for them.
Solution: Wrap each tab's screen with EmbedRouteListener. This widget notifies the SDK of the current screen whenever the tab is displayed.
import 'package:go_router/go_router.dart';
import 'package:embed_flutter/embed_flutter.dart';
// ── Router ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
final _router = GoRouter(
initialLocation: '/home',
observers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()], // catches pushes outside the shell
routes: [
ShellRoute(
builder: (context, state, child) => AppShell(child: child),
routes: [
GoRoute(
path: '/home',
name: 'home',
builder: (context, state) => const HomeTab(),
),
GoRoute(
path: '/offers',
name: 'offers',
builder: (context, state) => const OffersTab(),
),
GoRoute(
path: '/profile',
name: 'profile',
builder: (context, state) => const ProfileTab(),
),
// Sub-route inside a tab (pushed onto the nested navigator)
GoRoute(
path: '/offers/detail/:id',
name: 'offer_detail',
builder: (context, state) {
final id = state.pathParameters['id']!;
return OfferDetailScreen(id: id);
},
),
],
),
],
);
// ── Shell scaffold ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
class AppShell extends StatelessWidget {
final Widget child;
const AppShell({super.key, required this.child});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final location = GoRouterState.of(context).uri.toString();
int currentIndex = 0;
if (location.startsWith('/offers')) currentIndex = 1;
if (location.startsWith('/profile')) currentIndex = 2;
return Scaffold(
body: child,
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
currentIndex: currentIndex,
onTap: (i) {
switch (i) {
case 0: context.go('/home'); break;
case 1: context.go('/offers'); break;
case 2: context.go('/profile'); break;
}
},
items: const [
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.home), label: 'Home'),
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.local_offer), label: 'Offers'),
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.person), label: 'Profile'),
],
),
);
}
}
// ── Tab screens ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
// Wrap each tab with EmbedRouteListener so the SDK knows which tab is active.
class HomeTab extends StatelessWidget {
const HomeTab({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedRouteListener(
routeName: 'home', // ✅ must match the name in enabledRoutes
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Home')),
body: const Center(child: Text('Home content')),
),
);
}
}
class OffersTab extends StatelessWidget {
const OffersTab({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedRouteListener(
routeName: 'offers', // ✅ agent visible — listed in enabledRoutes
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Offers')),
body: const Center(child: Text('Browse offers')),
),
);
}
}
class ProfileTab extends StatelessWidget {
const ProfileTab({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedRouteListener(
routeName: 'profile', // agent hidden — not listed in enabledRoutes
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Profile')),
body: const Center(child: Text('Your profile')),
),
);
}
}
// ── main ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
void main() {
embedInitialize('your-api-key', flowName: 'main');
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['home', 'offers', 'offer_detail'],
// 'profile' is intentionally excluded — agent hidden there
},
child: MaterialApp.router(routerConfig: _router),
);
}
}Key rules for ShellRoute:
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
Add EmbedNavigatorObserver() to the top-level GoRouter | Catches pushes onto the root navigator (screens outside the shell) |
Wrap each tab's screen with EmbedRouteListener(routeName: '...') | Tells the SDK which tab is currently visible |
The routeName must match what you put in enabledRoutes | Otherwise the SDK cannot determine visibility |
5.5 MaterialApp Bottom TabNavigator (BottomNavigationBar)
When using BottomNavigationBar with a plain MaterialApp, push a new named route for each tab using Navigator.pushReplacementNamed so the route stack stays shallow and the observer fires on every tab switch.
// ── main.dart ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
void main() {
embedInitialize('your-api-key', flowName: 'main');
runApp(const MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
const MyApp({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
// Agent appears only on the Plans and Exclusive tabs
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['plans_tab', 'exclusive_tab'],
},
child: MaterialApp(
navigatorObservers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()], // ✅ required
home: const HomeTab(),
onGenerateRoute: (settings) {
switch (settings.name) {
case 'home_tab':
return MaterialPageRoute(settings: settings, builder: (_) => const HomeTab());
case 'plans_tab':
return MaterialPageRoute(settings: settings, builder: (_) => const PlansTab());
case 'exclusive_tab':
return MaterialPageRoute(settings: settings, builder: (_) => const ExclusiveTab());
case 'profile_tab':
return MaterialPageRoute(settings: settings, builder: (_) => const ProfileTab());
default:
return null;
}
},
),
);
}
}
// ── Shared bottom nav scaffold ────────────────────────────────────────────────
class AppNavBar extends StatelessWidget {
final Widget child;
final int currentIndex;
const AppNavBar({super.key, required this.child, required this.currentIndex});
static const _routes = ['home_tab', 'plans_tab', 'exclusive_tab', 'profile_tab'];
void _onTap(BuildContext context, int index) {
if (index == currentIndex) return;
// pushReplacementNamed so the back button doesn't cycle through tab history
// and EmbedNavigatorObserver fires didReplace → SDK updates its route state
Navigator.pushReplacementNamed(context, _routes[index]);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: child,
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
currentIndex: currentIndex,
type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed,
selectedItemColor: Colors.blue[700],
unselectedItemColor: Colors.grey[600],
onTap: (i) => _onTap(context, i),
items: const [
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.home), label: 'Home'),
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.description), label: 'Plans'),
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.star), label: 'Exclusive'),
BottomNavigationBarItem(icon: Icon(Icons.person), label: 'Profile'),
],
),
);
}
}
// ── Tab screens ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
class HomeTab extends StatelessWidget {
const HomeTab({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return AppNavBar(
currentIndex: 0,
// Agent hidden — 'home_tab' is not in enabledRoutes
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Home')),
body: const Center(child: Text('Home content')),
),
);
}
}
class PlansTab extends StatelessWidget {
const PlansTab({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return AppNavBar(
currentIndex: 1,
// ✅ Agent visible — 'plans_tab' is in enabledRoutes
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Plans')),
body: const Center(child: Text('Browse plans')),
),
);
}
}
class ExclusiveTab extends StatelessWidget {
const ExclusiveTab({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return AppNavBar(
currentIndex: 2,
// ✅ Agent visible — 'exclusive_tab' is in enabledRoutes
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Exclusive')),
body: const Center(child: Text('Exclusive deals')),
),
);
}
}
class ProfileTab extends StatelessWidget {
const ProfileTab({super.key});
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return AppNavBar(
currentIndex: 3,
// Agent hidden — 'profile_tab' is not in enabledRoutes
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Profile')),
body: const Center(child: Text('Your profile')),
),
);
}
}How it works:
Navigator.pushReplacementNamedfiresdidReplaceonEmbedNavigatorObserver, which updates the current route in the SDK.- The SDK checks the new route name against
enabledRoutesand shows or hides the agent button — no extra code needed.
6. Sending Events
6.1 USER_DATA (Required)
This is the only required event. Send it after you have a logged-in user ID. It activates voice features and associates all future analytics with that user.
embedEvent(
EventKeys.USER_DATA,
UserEventPayload(
app_user_id: 'user_12345', // required — your unique user identifier
data: {
'name': 'Priya Sharma', // optional extra fields sent to the agent
'email': 'priya@example.com',
'plan': 'premium',
},
),
);When to call it:
| Scenario | When to call |
|---|---|
| Auth flow | Immediately after signIn() / token refresh succeeds |
| No auth (demo apps) | In initState of your first meaningful screen |
The SDK queues this event internally if the server config hasn't loaded yet and flushes it automatically — you do not need to wait or retry.
6.2 SCREEN_STATE (Optional)
Sends additional context about the current screen to the agent. Useful when you want the agent to know which step of a multi-step form the user is on, or when multiple routes share one screen widget.
embedEvent(
EventKeys.SCREEN_STATE,
ScreenEventPayload(
screen: 'loan_application_step_2',
data: {
'step': 2,
'total_steps': 5,
'category': 'home_loan',
},
),
);Call it in initState or whenever meaningful context changes (e.g. a stepper advances).
6.3 CUSTOM_EVENT (Optional)
Captures any interaction you want to relay to the agent — button taps, option selections, modal opens, etc.
embedEvent(
EventKeys.CUSTOM_EVENT,
CustomEventPayload(
data: {
'context': 'plan_selection',
'action': 'plan_selected',
'plan_id': 'gold_12m',
'price': 1499,
'currency': 'INR',
},
),
);6.4 ANALYTICS_DATA (Optional)
Like CUSTOM_EVENT but requires a named event identifier. Use this for conversion events, funnel steps, or any event you need to categorise by a fixed name on the backend.
embedEvent(
EventKeys.ANALYTICS_DATA,
AnalyticsDataEventPayload(
event_name: 'payment_completed',
data: {
'amount': 4999,
'currency': 'INR',
'payment_method': 'upi',
'transaction_id': 'txn_abc123',
},
),
);Event reference table:
| Event | Class | event_name required? | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
USER_DATA | UserEventPayload | — | Identifying the user and activating the agent |
SCREEN_STATE | ScreenEventPayload | — | Providing screen or step context to the agent |
CUSTOM_EVENT | CustomEventPayload | No | Ad-hoc interactions and selections |
ANALYTICS_DATA | AnalyticsDataEventPayload | Yes | Named funnel and conversion events |
7. EmbedWidget Parameters Reference
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
child | Widget | — | Required. Your MaterialApp / MaterialApp.router |
showEmbedWidget | bool | true | Master visibility toggle — set to false to hide the agent everywhere |
enabledRoutes | Map<String, List<String>> | {} | Route names where the agent button should appear |
showOnAllRoutes | bool | false | Show on every route. Use with disabledRoutes to exclude specific screens |
disabledRoutes | List<String> | [] | Routes where the agent is always hidden (takes priority over showOnAllRoutes) |
routeMatchMode | RouteMatchMode | exact | How route names are compared — see section 7.1 |
apiKey | String? | from embedInitialize | Override API key directly on the widget |
embedUrl | String? | from embedInitialize | Override server base URL |
rightPadding | double? | server config | FAB distance from the right edge in logical pixels |
bottomPadding | double? | server config | FAB distance from the bottom edge in logical pixels |
onPermissionStatusChanged | void Function(bool)? | — | Called after the mic permission dialog — true = granted, false = denied |
For per-flow visibility props — embedButtonDelayMs, groupDelays,
groupContinuity, and groupInsets — see EmbedWidget advanced.
7.1 Route Match Modes
By default route names must match exactly. Use routeMatchMode to relax this:
EmbedWidget(
routeMatchMode: RouteMatchMode.startsWith,
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['/product'], // matches /product, /product/detail, /product/42, etc.
},
child: ...,
)| Mode | Behaviour | Example pattern | Matches |
|---|---|---|---|
RouteMatchMode.exact | Exact string match (default) | 'cart' | only 'cart' |
RouteMatchMode.startsWith | Route starts with the pattern | '/product' | /product, /product/detail, /product/42 |
RouteMatchMode.contains | Route contains the pattern anywhere | 'product' | 'product_list', 'new_product', '/v2/product/3' |
Leading slashes are normalised — 'home' and '/home' are treated identically.
8. Advanced: Widget Visibility and Positioning
This section covers the common cases — custom position, show-on-all, and the mic callback. For route flows/groups, per-flow show delays + policies, continuity, and per-flow insets, see the companion guide:
Custom FAB Position
Override the default floating button position with rightPadding and bottomPadding:
EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['home', 'plans', 'cart'],
},
rightPadding: 20.0, // 20px from the right edge
bottomPadding: 100.0, // 100px from the bottom edge
child: MaterialApp(
navigatorObservers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()],
home: const HomeScreen(),
),
)Show on All Routes with Exclusions
When you want the agent everywhere except a handful of screens:
EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
showOnAllRoutes: true,
disabledRoutes: const ['splash', 'login', 'otp_verification'],
child: ...,
)Microphone Permission Callback
Handle the case where the user denies microphone access when starting a call:
final _messengerKey = GlobalKey<ScaffoldMessengerState>();
EmbedWidget(
showEmbedWidget: true,
enabledRoutes: const {
'main': ['home', 'dashboard'],
},
onPermissionStatusChanged: (bool granted) {
if (!granted) {
_messengerKey.currentState?.showSnackBar(
const SnackBar(
content: Text(
'Microphone access is required for voice calls. Please enable it in Settings.',
),
),
);
}
},
child: MaterialApp(
scaffoldMessengerKey: _messengerKey,
navigatorObservers: [EmbedNavigatorObserver()],
home: const HomeScreen(),
),
)When is onPermissionStatusChanged called?
- After the user taps the agent button and the permission dialog is shown.
- Before the call connection is established.
true= permission granted, the call will proceed.false= permission denied or permanently denied.
9. Advanced: Listening to SDK Events
Subscribe to events emitted by the agent from anywhere in your app.
Agent lifecycle events
import 'package:embed_flutter/embed_flutter.dart';
class MyScreen extends StatefulWidget { ... }
class _MyScreenState extends State<MyScreen> {
late final String _handle;
@override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_handle = embedOnAgent((event) {
final type = event['type'] as String;
switch (type) {
case SdkEventName.agentConversationStarted:
print('Voice call started');
break;
case SdkEventName.agentConversationEnded:
print('Voice call ended');
break;
case SdkEventName.microphonePermissionAllowed:
print('Mic granted');
break;
case SdkEventName.microphonePermissionDenied:
print('Mic denied');
break;
}
});
}
@override
void dispose() {
embedOffAgent(_handle); // always unsubscribe to avoid memory leaks
super.dispose();
}
}Available SdkEventName constants:
| Constant | Value | Fired when |
|---|---|---|
SdkEventName.agentVisible | 'agent_visible' | Agent FAB appears on screen |
SdkEventName.agentConversationStarted | 'agent_conversation_started' | User starts a voice call |
SdkEventName.agentConversationEnded | 'agent_conversation_ended' | Voice call ends |
SdkEventName.popupMessageVisible | 'popup_message_visible' | Inactivity popup is shown |
SdkEventName.agentTapTopOpen | 'agent_tap_top_open' | Agent widget expanded |
SdkEventName.agentTapTopClose | 'agent_tap_top_close' | Agent widget collapsed |
SdkEventName.genToolTriggered | 'gen_tool_triggered' | Agent uses an AI tool |
SdkEventName.microphonePermissionAllowed | 'microphone_permission_allowed' | Mic permission granted |
SdkEventName.microphonePermissionDenied | 'microphone_permission_denied' | Mic permission denied |

}12. Troubleshooting
Agent button not visible
| Check | Fix |
|---|---|
showEmbedWidget is false | Set it to true |
Route name is not listed in enabledRoutes | Add it under the 'main' key |
EmbedNavigatorObserver is missing | Add it to navigatorObservers on MaterialApp or observers on GoRouter |
USER_DATA event not sent | The agent requires user identity. Call embedEvent(USER_DATA, ...) after login. |
| Invalid API key | Verify the key passed to embedInitialize |
| Network error on startup | Check the onResult callback in embedInitialize for the error message |
Agent not showing on a specific tab (ShellRoute / BottomNavigationBar)
| Check | Fix |
|---|---|
Tab screen not wrapped with EmbedRouteListener | Wrap each tab body with EmbedRouteListener(routeName: '...') |
pushReplacementNamed not used for tab switches (MaterialApp) | Switch to pushReplacementNamed so didReplace fires on EmbedNavigatorObserver |
Tab route name not in enabledRoutes | Add it to the 'main' list |
routeName in EmbedRouteListener doesn't match enabledRoutes | Both must be identical strings |
iOS microphone permission never requested
| Check | Fix |
|---|---|
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription missing from Info.plist | Add the key with a usage description string |
PERMISSION_MICROPHONE=1 missing from Podfile | Add the macro inside post_install and run pod install |
GoRouter routes not tracked
| Check | Fix |
|---|---|
| Observer missing | Add EmbedNavigatorObserver() to GoRouter.observers |
Using path strings in enabledRoutes instead of route names | Use the name: field value of GoRoute, not the path: string |
nameExtractor needed | If GoRoute name values differ from what you want to match, supply a custom nameExtractor |
Clearing SDK data on logout
Future<void> onLogout() async {
await embedClearStorageCache();
// Navigate to login screen
