MethodChannel class
A named channel for communicating with platform plugins using asynchronous method calls.
Method calls are encoded into binary before being sent, and binary results
received are decoded into Dart values. The MethodCodec used must be
compatible with the one used by the platform plugin. This can be achieved
by creating a method channel counterpart of this channel on the
platform side. The Dart type of arguments and results is dynamic,
but only values supported by the specified MethodCodec can be used.
The use of unsupported values should be considered programming errors, and
will result in exceptions being thrown. The null value is supported
for all codecs.
The logical identity of the channel is given by its name. Identically named channels will interfere with each other's communication.
All MethodChannels provided by the Flutter framework guarantee FIFO ordering. Applications can assume method calls sent via a built-in MethodChannel are received by the platform plugins in the same order as they're sent.

Methods
-
invokeListMethod<
T> (String method, [dynamic arguments]) → Future< List< T> ?> - An implementation of invokeMethod that can return typed lists.
-
invokeMapMethod<
K, V> (String method, [dynamic arguments]) → Future< Map< K, V> ?> - An implementation of invokeMethod that can return typed maps.
-
invokeMethod<
T> (String method, [dynamic arguments]) → Future< T?> -
Invokes a
methodon this channel with the specifiedarguments. -
noSuchMethod(
Invocation invocation) → dynamic -
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited

setMethodCallHandler(
Future handler(MethodCall call)?) → void - Sets a callback for receiving method calls on this channel.
-
toString(
) → String -
