Banked Flutter SDK Example

Here is an example project on how to integrate the existing native Android and iOS SDKs into a Flutter app. You learn more about Banked SDKs here and Android SDK here.

Android Integration

1. Add the latest gradle dependency into the Android app module build file

To access the dependency you must first create Github personal access token

Once that is done you must add the following repository to your root build.gradle file

allprojects {
repositories {
maven {
name = "GitHubPackages"
url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/banked/banked-android-sdk")
credentials {
username = <enter your username here>
password = <enter your PAT token here>
}
}
}
}

You can then access the artifact from the following

implementation("com.banked:checkout:2.0.4")

2. Add an intent filter into the application manin activity so that the SDK can receive events from the banking providers

</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data
android:host="<host>"
android:scheme="<scheme>" />
</intent-filter>

3. Create a MethodChannel in the dart file to send and receive messages to and from the Android activity.

 static const methodChannel = const MethodChannel('com.example.banked_flutter_sdk_example/banked_sdk');
_MyHomePageState() {
methodChannel.setMethodCallHandler((call) => _processSdkCallback(call));
}

4. Create a function to process incoming messages from the activity.

Future<dynamic> _processSdkCallback(MethodCall call) async {
print("Call - " + call.method);
String newStatus = "Unknown";
if (call.method == "BankedSdkPaymentSuccess") {
newStatus = "Payment Success";
} else if (call.method == "BankedSdkPaymentSuccess") {
newStatus = "Payment Failed";
} else if (call.method == "BankedSdkPaymentAborted") {
newStatus = "Payment Aborted";
}
setState(() {
_sdkStatus = newStatus;
});
}

5. Start the SDK in the dart file as follows.

Future<void> _startBankedSdk() async {
String sdkStatus;
try {
final Map params = <String, dynamic>{
'payment id': "Add your payment ID here",
'continue url': "Add your continue URL here",
};
await methodChannel.invokeMethod('startSdk', params);
sdkStatus = "Waiting for SDK result";
} on PlatformException catch (e) {
sdkStatus = "Failed to get start Banked SDK: '${e.message}'.";
}
setState(() {
_sdkStatus = sdkStatus;
});
}

6. Add the following code to your activity to setup the Banked SDK to initialise, send events to the common dart code and receive events from the dart code and SDK.

private const val CHANNEL = "com.example.banked_flutter_sdk_example/banked_sdk"
private const val BANKED_API_KEY = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
class MainActivity : FlutterFragmentActivity(), OnPaymentSessionListener {
private var methodChannel: MethodChannel? = null
override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
Banked.setOnPaymentSessionListener(this)
Banked.setApiKey(BANKED_API_KEY)
}
override fun onDestroy() {
Banked.setOnPaymentSessionListener(null)
super.onDestroy()
}
override fun onStart() {
super.onStart()
Banked.onStart(this)
}
override fun configureFlutterEngine(flutterEngine: FlutterEngine) {
super.configureFlutterEngine(flutterEngine)
if (methodChannel == null) {
methodChannel = MethodChannel(
flutterEngine.dartExecutor.binaryMessenger,
CHANNEL
)
methodChannel?.setMethodCallHandler { call, result ->
if (call.method == "startSdk") {
val arguments = call.arguments as Map<String, Any>
val paymentId = arguments["payment id"]?.toString() ?: "XXXXXXXX"
val continueUrl = arguments["continue url"]?.toString() ?: "XXXXXXXX"
Banked.startPayment(
this,
paymentId,
continueUrl
)
result.success("SDK Started")
} else {
result.notImplemented()
}
}
}
}
override fun onPaymentFailed(paymentResult: PaymentResult) {
methodChannel?.invokeMethod("BankedSdkPaymentFailed", toParameterMap(paymentResult))
}
override fun onPaymentSuccess(paymentResult: PaymentResult) {
methodChannel?.invokeMethod("BankedSdkPaymentSuccess", toParameterMap(paymentResult))
}
override fun onPaymentAborted() {
methodChannel?.invokeMethod("BankedSdkPaymentAborted", mapOf<String, String>())
}
private fun toParameterMap(paymentResult: PaymentResult): Map<String, String> {
return mapOf(
"paymentId" to paymentResult.paymentId,
"amountFormatted" to paymentResult.amountFormatted,
"providerName" to paymentResult.providerName,
"payeeName" to paymentResult.payeeName
)
}
}

iOS Integration

0. Install Flutter. You can use the official guidelines: https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/macos Or use Homebrew: https://postsrc.com/code-snippets/how-to-install-flutter-on-macos-monterey

1. Use Cocoapods to install the Banked Checkout SDK.

To integrate Banked Checkout SDK into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod ‘Banked’

2. Open the file AppDelegate.swift located under Runner > Runner in the Project navigator.

Add the following code to set up the Banked SDK to initialise, send events to the common dart code and receive events from the dart code and SDK.

import UIKit
import Flutter
import Banked
privateletCHANNEL="com.example.banked_flutter_sdk_example/banked_sdk"privateletBANKED_API_KEY="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"@UIApplicationMain@objcclassAppDelegate:FlutterAppDelegate{overridefunc application(
_ application:UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions:[UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey:Any]?)->Bool{letcontroller:FlutterViewController= window?.rootViewController as!FlutterViewControllerletbankedSDKChannel=FlutterMethodChannel(name: CHANNEL,
binaryMessenger: controller.binaryMessenger)
bankedSDKChannel.setMethodCallHandler({[weak self](call:FlutterMethodCall, result:FlutterResult)->Voidin
// Note: this method is invoked on the UI thread.
guard call.method =="startSdk"else{result(FlutterMethodNotImplemented)return}guardlet arguments = call.arguments as?[String:Any]else{result(FlutterError(code:"NO_ARGUMENTS", message:"Can't extract flutter arguments", details:nil))return}guardlet paymentId =arguments["payment id"]as?Stringelse{result(FlutterError(code:"NO_PAYMENT_ID", message:"PaymentId can't be nil", details:nil))return}guardlet continueUrl =arguments["continue url"]as?Stringelse{result(FlutterError(code:"NO_CONTINUE_URL", message:"Continue url can't be nil", details:nil))return}self?.presentBankedCheckout(result: result, paymetId: paymentId, continueURL: continueUrl)})GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with:self)return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)}privatefunc presentBankedCheckout(result:FlutterResult, paymetId:String, continueURL:String){guardlet viewController =self.window.rootViewController else{result(FlutterError(code:"NO_VIEWCONTROLLER", message:"ViewController can't be nil", details:nil))return}BankedCheckout.shared.setUp(BANKED_API_KEY)BankedCheckout.shared.presentCheckout(viewController, paymentId: paymetId, action:.pay, continueURL: continueURL){(response)inswitch response {case.success:
// Handle Success
print("success")case.failure(let error):
// Handle Error
print("error \(error)")}}}}

3. Ensure BANKED_API_KEY is set to the correct client API key. Contact Banked to get this key.

4. To run the app on a real device, set up Code Signing (Certificates and Mobile provisioning profiles).

5. If you receive the following error:

Error: Could not find included file ‘Generated.xcconfig’ in search paths (in target ‘Runner’)

Run these commands from the root directory:

flutter clean
flutter pub get
cd ios/
pod install

You can also try to update your cocoapods repository by running:

pod repo update

If the error persists, check this website.

6. Make sure you use the latest Banked version. pod install will maintain the version defined in Podfile.lock. Running pod update will download the latest version, given that Podfile does not define a specific version.

It is recommended that from time to time you run

pod outdated

to check which pods are outdated in your project.

7. If you see the error:

error: The sandbox is not in sync with the Podfile.lock. Run 'pod install' or update your CocoaPods installation.

After creating a new project from scracth and trying to use cocoapods, try following these steps.
