Migrate to 2.15.0

|

This guide outlines the breaking changes introduced in SDK version 2.15.0. Required updates may vary depending on your use case.

Additionally, new features and bugfixes have been introduced and are not documented here. For a comprehensive list of changes, please refer to the changelog.

This release brings improvements to the API reference, better error handling and bugfixes.

Removed methods and properties that were not fully implemented​

The setVoiceByPath method of the SdkSettings class has been removed. The Flutter SDK does not fully support applying and using voices. In order to change the voice of the TTS instructions please check the documentation provided by the flutter_tts package.

The smallMode field of the SignpostImageRenderSettings class has been removed as the feature is not fully implemented.

Fixed typos​

Many typos were found and fixed:

  • the EPlayingStatus enum has been renamed to PlayingStatus
  • the UnitOfMearsurementAcceleration enum has been renamed to UnitOfMeasurementAcceleration
  • the hoteMotel value of the SignpostPictogramType enum has been changed to hotelMotel
  • the insideCityAea named parameter of the getOverSpeedThreshold method provided by the AlarmService class has been renamed to insideCityArea

The logsList getter from the RecorderBookmarks class has been replaced by the getLogsList​

Before:

RecorderBookmarks recorderBookmarks = ...
List<String> logs = recorderBookmarks.logsList;

After:

RecorderBookmarks recorderBookmarks = ...
List<String> logs = recorderBookmarks!.getLogsList();

The getLogsList method also allows specifying the sorting order.

Methods were replaced with setters inside the FollowPositionPreferences class​

The setTouchHandlerModifyHorizontalAngleLimits and setTouchHandlerModifyDistanceLimits methods from the FollowPositionPreferences class have been replaced with touchHandlerModifyHorizontalAngleLimits and touchHandlerModifyDistanceLimits setters.

Before:

FollowPositionPreferences preferences = ...
preferences.setTouchHandlerModifyHorizontalAngleLimits(Pair(30.2, 75.0));
preferences.setTouchHandlerModifyDistanceLimits(Pair(30.2, 75.0));

After:

FollowPositionPreferences preferences = ...
preferences.touchHandlerModifyHorizontalAngleLimits = Pair(30.2, 75.0);
preferences.touchHandlerModifyDistanceLimits = Pair(30.2, 75.0);

Methods were replaced with getters inside the Playback class​

The getState, getDuration, getCurrentPosition, getSpeedMultiplier, getMaxSpeedMultiplier, getLogPath, getRoute, getMinSpeedMultiplier methods from the Playback class were replaced by the state, duration, currentPosition, speedMultiplier, maxSpeedMultiplier, logPath, route and minSpeedMultiplier getters

Before:

Playback playback = ...
PlayingStatus status = playback.getState();

After:

Playback playback = ...
PlayingStatus status = playback.state;

Changes regarding content update​

Changes regarding the update method​

Changed the return type of the update method from GemError to ProgressListener?. Added optional onCompleteCallback parameter for listening for the result of the update operation.

The return type of the update method is now ProgressListener? instead of GemError. If the operation could be started then the update method returns a non-null ProgressListener. If the operation could not be started then the update method returns null and provides the GemError via the onCompleteCallback parameter.

The newly added onCompleteCallback gets triggered with the result code at the end of the update operation (after apply is called) or earlier with the failure error if the update fails before apply is called.

Before:

ContentUpdater contentUpdater = ...
GemError error = contentUpdater.update(true);
// Do something with the error...

After:

ContentUpdater contentUpdater = ...
ProgressListener listener = contentUpdater.update(
    true,
    onCompleteCallback: (error) {
        // Do something with the error...
    },
),

Changes regarding the createContentUpdater method​

The createContentUpdater now also returns the error code. Replace the return type from ContentUpdater to Pair<ContentUpdater, GemError>.

  • If the operation fails then the GemError provided is GemError.success and the ContentUpdater is valid.
  • If the operation succeeds then the GemError provided is not GemError.success and the ContentUpdater is invalid.

If a content updater for the specified type already exists then the error code will be GemError.exists

Before:

ContentUpdater contentUpdater = ContentStore.createContentUpdater(ContentType.roadMap);
// Do something with the content updater...

After:

Pair<ContentUpdater, GemError> result = ContentStore.createContentUpdater(ContentType.roadMap);

if (result.second == GemError.success) {
    ContentUpdater contentUpdater = result.first;
    // Do something with the content updater...
} else {
    print("Creating the content updater failed with error code ${result.second}.");
}

The updateItem property of the ContentStoreItem class is now nullable​

Changed the return type from ContentStoreItem to ContentStoreItem?. The value null is returned when the operation fails (e.g. there is no update in progress for the given item).

Before:

ContentStoreItem item = ...;
ContentStoreItem updateItem = item.updateItem;
// Do something with the update item

After:

ContentStoreItem item = ...;
ContentStoreItem? updateItem = item.updateItem;
if (updateItem != null){
    // Do something with the update item
} else {
    print("Operation failed");
}

The step method from the Playback class now returns void instead of GemError​

The step method from the Playback class has been fixed. It can be used to step through logs containing video recordings frame by frame. The return type has changed from GemError to void. In this way the method is now aligned with how it works in the other SDKs provided by Magic Lane.

The error can be retrieved via the ApiErrorService class. See the Usage guidelines details for more information.

Before:

Playback playback = ...
GemError error = playback.step();

After:

Playback playback = ...
playback.step();

The recorderConfiguration setter from the Recorder class has been replaced with the setRecorderConfiguration method​

In this way the error code for the operation is also returned.

Before:

Recorder recorder = ...
RecorderConfiguration config = ...

recorder.recorderConfiguration = recorderConfig;

After:

Recorder recorder = ...
RecorderConfiguration config = ...

GemError error = recorder.setRecorderConfiguration(recorderConfig);
if (error == GemError.success)
    print("Operation succeeded.");
else
    print("Operation failed.");

Some methods from the Weather return TaskHandler? instead of TaskHandler. Result value from the onCompleteCallback callback is no longer nullable​

Affected methods are getDailyForecast, getHourlyForecast, getCurrent, getForecast. This is similar to the change introduced in the 2.11.0 release regarding calculateRoute, search and other methods.

The value null is returned when the operation could not be started. When the operation can be started a valid ProgressListener is returned. The locationForecasts parameter of the onCompleteCallback callback is no longer nullable. The type changed from List<LocationForecast>? to List<LocationForecast>. An empty list is returned if the operation fails instead of null.

If the operation fails the onCompleteCallback callback is called with error and empty list of results. Before this update the onCompleteCallback callback was called with error and null list of results. On success the onCompleteCallback callback is called with GemError.success and non-empty list of results as before.

Before:

WeatherService.getCurrent(
    coords: [coordinates],
    onCompleteCallback: (GemError error, List<LocationForecast>? result) {
        if (result == null){
            print("Operation failed");
        } else {
            // Perform operations with result...    
        }
    },
);

After:

WeatherService.getCurrent(
    coords: [coordinates],
    onCompleteCallback: (GemError error, List<LocationForecast> result) {
        if (result.isEmpty){
            print("Operation failed");
        } else {
            // Perform operations with result...    
        }
    },
);

Some optional parameters are no longer nullable. Default values have been provided​

These are the affected methods and parameters:

  • type of the zoom parameter of the createLandmarkStore method of the LandmarkStoreService class from int? to int. A default value of -1 has also been provided
  • type of the overwrite parameter of the add method of the RouteBookmarks class from bool? to bool. A default value of false has also been provided
  • type of the removeLmkContent parameter of the removeCategory method of the LandmarkStore class from bool? to bool. A default value of false has also been provided

If null is provided explicitly, it can be safely omitted.

Before:

final store = LandmarkStoreService.createLandmarkStore('LandmarkName', zoom: null);

After:

final store = LandmarkStoreService.createLandmarkStore('LandmarkName');

Changes to the RenderSettings hierarchy. It is now a generic template.​

The RenderSettings class is now a generic template. The options property changed type from Set<dynamic> to Set<T>.

This influences the following extending classes:

  • The type of the options property from the RouteRenderSettings class changed from Set<dynamic> to Set<RouteRenderOptions>.
  • The type of the options property from the HighlightRenderSettings class changed from Set<dynamic> to Set<HighlightOptions>

This change should not usually affect your code unless the polymorphic behavior of the classes is used.
