Black-screen + extra-90°-rotation on Android both came from
AVFoundation vs CameraX behaving differently at the preview output:
- AVFoundation: data-output connection's `videoOrientation`
pre-rotates sample buffers. The Flutter Texture displays them
upright; `device.activeFormat` reports the sensor-native size
synchronously.
- CameraX: the SurfaceProvider hands back a Surface; CameraX
writes raw sensor frames into it. Rotation is a *transform hint*
via Preview.setTargetRotation that consumers must apply
themselves. And the final negotiated resolution isn't known
until the first SurfaceRequest fires — which happens AFTER
bindToLifecycle, AFTER lifecycle.start, async on the camera
executor. So `create` was returning Size(0,0).
Surface extension to bridge the gap:
- UxCameraValue.previewRotationQuarterTurns (int 0/1/2/3).
iOS native always emits 0; Android native emits
`(sensorRotationDegrees / 90) % 4` for the active camera.
[UxCameraPreview] wraps the Texture in a RotatedBox by that many
quarter-turns (applied *before* the front-cam mirror so the
flip lives in screen space, not sensor space).
- UxCameraPreviewSizeChanged event. Android emits this from
PreviewSink.onResize whenever a SurfaceRequest carries a new
resolution; the controller copies it into value.previewSize.
First emission is what unblocks the camera_thumb's SizedBox
from its initial 0x0 = "render nothing" state.
- UxCameraBackend.setDescription's return changed from `Size` to
`({Size previewSize, int previewRotationQuarterTurns})` so
a lens swap can both update the rotation and signal that a new
previewSizeChanged event is incoming.
iOS continues to send previewSize in the create result (the active
format is known synchronously); no previewSizeChanged emission is
needed there. The new field is set to 0 in both create and
setDescription results on iOS.
Phase 1c+1d of the ux.camera plan (see ~/banlu/plans/ux_camera.md).
lib/src/camera/camera.dart — UxCameraController (ValueNotifier),
UxCameraValue, UxCameraDescription,
enums, UxCameraException,
uxAvailableCameras().
lib/src/camera/camera_backend.dart — abstract UxCameraBackend +
UxCameraCreateResult + sealed
UxCameraEvent variants.
lib/src/camera/camera_channel.dart — MethodChannelUxCameraBackend over
ux/camera + ux/camera/events. Per-
handle event demux. Maps
PlatformException → UxCameraException.
lib/src/camera/camera_preview.dart — UxCameraPreview: Texture-backed,
Hero-flightable preview widget.
lib/src/testing/fake_camera.dart — FakeUxCameraBackend with per-method
call lists + emitXxx event injection.
Exported from package:ux/testing.dart.
test/camera/camera_controller_test — 16 tests covering init/dispose,
orientation events, takePicture
(explicit + UxSensor fallback),
startVideoRecording / stop,
flip, flash, lock/unlock,
multi-instance, error propagation.
test/camera/camera_channel_test — 10 tests pinning the wire format
for every method + PlatformException
mapping.
Orientation snapshot for capture is computed Dart-side and passed in as an
explicit arg to takePicture / startVideoRecording (default falls back to
UxSensor.orientation at call time). Native never queries UIDevice itself
for the snapshot — Dart-side fakes drive orientation deterministically.
Native plugin code lands in Phase 2+; today every channel call throws
MissingPluginException at runtime, which is fine — the controller is only
mounted from the camera page once Phase 5 cuts over. The test backend
already exercises the full controller surface.
Three new pieces, all composable through the existing Log API
(`Log.configure(sink: ConsoleSink() + HttpSink(...))`) — no new
facade, no install side-effects.
HttpSink (lib/src/log_http.dart)
- Extends LogSink. Batches records and POSTs them as a JSON array
to a configurable endpoint with bearer auth.
- Defaults: batchSize=25, flushInterval=2s, queueCapacity=2000,
initialBackoff=1s capped at maxBackoff=30s.
- Drops oldest on queue overflow (single console warning).
- Retries 5xx and network errors with exponential backoff; drops
on 4xx with a single console warning.
- Pluggable `HttpSender` typedef for tests; default uses
dart:io.HttpClient.
CrashPlugin (ios/Classes/CrashPlugin.swift,
android/src/main/kotlin/.../CrashPlugin.kt)
- Installs uncaught-exception handlers
(NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler / Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler),
chains to the prior handler so the platform's default kill path
still runs.
- Writes one JSON file per crash to <cacheDir>/ux_crashes/<uuid>.json.
iOS captures NSException.name/reason/userInfo + call-stack symbols
and return addresses. Android captures thread name, exception
class, message, full stack (including cause chain).
- Caps the directory at 50 files; drops oldest by mtime on overflow.
- Exposes method channel `ux/crash` with drainPending / ackCrash /
triggerTestCrash. Registered in UxPlugin on both platforms.
UxCrash.drainAndReport (lib/src/crash.dart)
- Pulls persisted crash records on boot, re-emits each via Log.f
(tag `ux.crash`) so they flow out through whatever sink chain
the app installed, then acks each id.
- Tolerates MissingPluginException silently; PlatformException is
logged as a single warn without throwing.
Tests:
- log_http_test.dart: payload shape, batching, retry doubling on 5xx,
drop on 4xx, queue overflow ordering, non-encodable field
stringification, real loopback HTTP round-trip with the default
sender.
- log_http_e2e_test.dart: opt-in real-server round-trip gated by
--dart-define=E2E_LOG_ENDPOINT/E2E_LOG_TOKEN.
- crash_test.dart: drain + re-emit + ack across iOS and Android
shapes, MissingPluginException tolerance, PlatformException
warn-not-throw.
Flutter's Clipboard API only exposes text shapes. Banlu's chat composer
needs image bytes from the system clipboard for desktop paste, so add
a UxClipboard facade backed by per-platform native plugins:
* iOS: prefer raw PNG/JPEG bytes off the pasteboard, fall back to
re-encoding `UIPasteboard.image` as PNG.
* macOS: prefer NSPasteboard `.png`, fall back to TIFF transcoded
through NSBitmapImageRep so screenshots / Preview hand-offs still
work.
* Android: read primary ClipData's first item URI and stream the bytes
through ContentResolver — don't trust the clip description's MIME,
copy whatever the resolver returns.
Returns null (never throws) when the clipboard has no image — callers
treat null as "fall through to text paste".
