Use SDKOptions to Set Programmtically HERE Credentials and Cache Path

Question

I want to get the HERE credentials from a web service and not from the android manifest or info.plist as stated in the HERE documentation, but at this point I get an error.

Here Flutter SDK version 4.8.0.0

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:here_sdk/core.dart';
import 'package:here_sdk/core.engine.dart';
import 'package:here_sdk/core.errors.dart';
import 'package:here_sdk/mapview.dart';

void main() {
  SDKOptions sdkOptions = SDKOptions.withAccessKeySecretAndCachePath(
      "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET", "");

  SDKNativeEngine sdkNativeEngine;
  try {
    sdkNativeEngine = SDKNativeEngine(sdkOptions);
    SDKNativeEngine.sharedInstance = sdkNativeEngine;
  } on InstantiationException {
    // Handle exception.
  }
  SdkContext.init(IsolateOrigin.main);
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'HERE SDK for Flutter - Hello Map!',
      home: HereMap(onMapCreated: _onMapCreated),
    );
  }

  void _onMapCreated(HereMapController hereMapController) {
    hereMapController.mapScene.loadSceneForMapScheme(MapScheme.normalDay,
        (MapError? error) {
      if (error != null) {
        print('Map scene not loaded. MapError: ${error.toString()}');
        return;
      }

      const double distanceToEarthInMeters = 8000;
      hereMapController.camera.lookAtPointWithDistance(
          GeoCoordinates(52.530932, 13.384915), distanceToEarthInMeters);
    });
  }
}

An error occurred

• How can I implement LibraryContext.init()?
• Can you share code snippet about that?

Thanks.

Make sure to init the SDKContext before initializing the HERE SDK. I wish this would have been stated in the documentation, but apparently it is not.

So, instead of calling it after creating the SDKNativeEngine, call it like so:

void main() {
  SdkContext.init(IsolateOrigin.main);

  // Clear the cache occupied by a previous instance.
  await SDKNativeEngine.sharedInstance?.dispose();

  SDKOptions sdkOptions = SDKOptions.withAccessKeySecretAndCachePath(
      "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET", "");

  SDKNativeEngine sdkNativeEngine;    
  try {
    sdkNativeEngine = SDKNativeEngine(sdkOptions);
    SDKNativeEngine.sharedInstance = sdkNativeEngine;
  } on InstantiationException {
    // Handle exception.
  }

  runApp(MyApp());
}
