How to access phone number of an incoming call in flutter?

I am trying to get a phone number from the incoming call, and for Android, I've been trying to implement this answer, but I've been struggling because the answer is not full, has no example, and is very abstract, which makes it hard for a person without any knowledge about Platform Channel.
What I've tried:
I've implemented pigeon code in a ServiceReceiver, declared a variable that I want to update and pass to the flutter code, however when I receive a call, the app doesn't even ask for any permission, which makes me think that the onReceive() function is not called when the phone receives an incoming call.
Here is the code:
main.dart:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import './output.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
// void onClick() async {
// SearchRequest request = SearchRequest()..query = 'test';
// Api api = Api();
// SearchReply reply = await api.search(request);
// print('reply: ${reply.result}');
// }
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
// This widget is the root of your application.
#override
_MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
static const platform = const MethodChannel('battery.ttsollution.com');
String _phoneNumber = '';
String _batteryLevel = 'Unknown battery level.';
void onClick() async {
SearchRequest request = SearchRequest()..query = 'test';
Api api = Api();
SearchReply reply = await api.search(request);
print('reply: ${reply.result}');
}
Future<void> _getPhoneNumber() async {
String phoneNumber;
try {
final int result = await platform.invokeMethod('getPhoneNumber');
phoneNumber = "Phone number: $result";
} catch (e) {
phoneNumber = "Failed to get the phone number due to: $e";
}
setState(() {
_phoneNumber = phoneNumber;
});
}
Future<void> _getBatteryLevel() async {
String batteryLevel;
try {
final int result = await platform.invokeMethod('getBatteryLevel');
batteryLevel = 'Battery level at $result % .';
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
batteryLevel = "Failed to get battery level: '${e.message}'.";
}
setState(() {
_batteryLevel = batteryLevel;
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
home: Scaffold(
body: Center(
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,

My java code could not search for nearby Bluetooth Devices

I have written a code to list nearby Bluetooth Devices but my code is unable to detect any.
According to my code, the action just starts and end and not print any device in logs when I do String action = intent.getAction(); Log.i("Action",action);
in onRecieve() under BroadCastReciever.
Here is my MainActivity.java :
package com.example.findbluetoothdemo;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothDevice;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.IntentFilter;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView statusTextView;
ListView listView;
Button searchButton;
ArrayList<String> bluetoothDevices = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<String> addresses = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter;
BluetoothAdapter bluetoothAdapter;
private final BroadcastReceiver broadcastReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
Log.i("Action",action);
if (BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED.equals(action)) {
statusTextView.setText("Finished");
searchButton.setEnabled(true);
} else if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
String name = device.getName();
String address = device.getAddress();
String rssi = Integer.toString(intent.getShortExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_RSSI,Short.MIN_VALUE));
Log.i("Device Found","Nmae :"+name+" Address :"+address+" RSSI :"+rssi);
if (!addresses.contains(address)) {
addresses.add(address);
String deviceString = "";
if (name==null || name.equals("")) {
deviceString = address+" - RSSI "+rssi+"dBm";
} else {
deviceString = name+" - RSSI "+rssi+"dBm";
}
bluetoothDevices.add(deviceString);
arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
}
};
public void searchFunction(View view) {
bluetoothDevices.add("ADDING NEW DEVICES...");
statusTextView.setText("Searching...");
searchButton.setEnabled(false);
arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
bluetoothDevices.clear();
addresses.clear();
bluetoothAdapter.startDiscovery();
}
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
statusTextView = findViewById(R.id.statusTextView);
listView = findViewById(R.id.listView);
searchButton = findViewById(R.id.button);
arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,bluetoothDevices);
listView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
bluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter();
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_STATE_CHANGED);
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_STARTED);
intentFilter.addAction(BluetoothAdapter.ACTION_DISCOVERY_FINISHED);
registerReceiver(broadcastReceiver ,intentFilter);
}
}
And here is AndroidManifest.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.findbluetoothdemo">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"></uses-permission>
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="#mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

You need to ask for permission if you haven't done already.
int premissionCehck = context.checkSelfPermission("Manifest.premission.ACCES_FINE_LOCATION");
premissionCehck += context.checkSelfPermission("Manifest.premission.ACCES_FINE_LOCATION");
if (premissionCehck != 0) {
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(activity, new String[]{Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION}, 1001);
}
Take Care, If you already denied permission once, the permission request doesn't appear again, so you need to give it free in your android settings.

Android App doesn't show location

I was looking for the solution to my problem the whole day now, but I couldn't find out. I'm absolutely new to java/android studio/app programming and probably it's just a very small thing that I don't see.
I just want my App to show the current location of the device. Nothing more.
When running the App on the emulator, no error is shown and the App starts.
Then I open the extended controls and push the "SEND"-button in "Location".
Now I would expect my App to show the current location, but nothing happens. The TextViews "textLat", "textLong" and "textAlt" are staying empty.
I have absolutely no Idea what my fault is. I wrote that code with the help of different tutorials. I also tried it on my real device.
I would be very grateful for any help! Thanks alot!
package com.example.findlocation_test2;
import android.Manifest;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.pm.PackageManager;
import android.location.Location;
import android.location.LocationListener;
import android.location.LocationManager;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.support.v4.app.ActivityCompat;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
TextView textLat;
TextView textLong;
TextView textAlt;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
textLat = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textLat);
textLong = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textLong);
textAlt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textAlt);
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener ll = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
if(location != null) {
double dLat = location.getLatitude();
double dLong = location.getLongitude();
double dAlt = location.getAltitude();
textLat.setText(Double.toString(dLat));
textLong.setText(Double.toString(dLong));
textAlt.setText(Double.toString(dAlt));
}
else {
textLat.setText("Fehler");
textLong.setText("Fehler");
textAlt.setText("Fehler");
}
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "GPS wurde akiviert",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "GPS wurde deaktiviert",
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
};
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
// TODO: Consider calling
// ActivityCompat#requestPermissions
// here to request the missing permissions, and then overriding
// public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions,

// for ActivityCompat#requestPermissions for more details.
return;
}
lm.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 100, 0, ll);
}
}
And in the manifest I added the permissions:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Geocoder IntentService is not being called

I understand this questions has been asked many times, for each question that has already been asked, the implementation is different from mine. The method I used create and call the intentService for a geocoder, was used from the android dev tutorial site.
https://developer.android.com/training/location/display-address.html.
I have gone over the the tutorial 3 times over to make sure I wasn't missing anything, but it is clear that I am.
Here is my manifest file, I have added the location and internet permissions.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<service
android:name=".FetchAddressIntentService"
android:exported="false"/>
</activity>

{
if(errorMessage.isEmpty()){

//join them and send them to the thread
for(int i = 0; i < address.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++){

}
Log.i(TAG, getString(R.string.address_found));
deliverResultToReceiver(Constants.SUCCESS_RESULT,
TextUtils.join(System.getProperty("line.seperator"), addressFragments));
}
}
}
EDIT: I have tried rewriting the geocoder following the instructions from the android dev site again, but no success.
EDIT2: I noticed in the manifest I declared the service, within the application declaration, instead of outside, I made the change but to no avail, any insights will be appreciated

How to call an activity's methods from a separate class

So I've been playing around with Android M style permissions and I have a working demo so long as I do everything from within the MainActivity. I felt that it looked to cumbersome and wanted to split that in to multiple files so it looked a little cleaner and could be more easily maintained.
The problem is by moving the permissions checking into its own file, I am having trouble now getting my permissions checker to go back to MainActivity and launch the demo() method. Where I need to call back to main activities demo method is on line 73 and line 114 of the PermissionsChecker.java
NOTE: I followed this tutorial on Android Permissions
I have found this question as well as these questions here & here. I realize this is dangerously close to a duplicate of the last two, they got me close but I haven't quite been able to get it. If someone can break it down a little more for me, I am still fairly new to Java and Android.

Initially in the last code block on lines 73 and 114 I had tried something to the effect of "MainActivity.demo();" where "demo();" is the method I wish to call.

You can make your class ask for your activity as a parameter, save it on a variable and call it's method whenever you want (assuming that your class and activity run on the same thread).
public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity
{
public void myFunction() {/* ... */}
}
public class MyClass
{
MyActivity activity;
//This could be the constructor
public void someFunction(MyActivity gActivity)
{
activity = gActivity;
}
public void anotherFunction()
{
//From activity you can get everything you want like context
//resources and anything else
activity.myFunction();
}
}
Another way you could do it is by creating an interface which saves a function (on your activity) and passes that interface as argument to your class and calls it whenever you want, but that's slightly more complicated, the first method is better in my opinion.
