Linux

This plugin relies on the gnome-screensaver to provide screen state information.

Linux Important Note:

If gnome-screensaver is not installed on your Linux system, please install it before using this plugin. The functionality of the plugin depends on the presence of gnome-screensaver.

sudo apt-get install gnome-screensaver

Getting Started

  1. Add desktop_screenstate to your pubspec.yaml.
  desktop_screenstate: $latest_version
  1. Then you can use DesktopScreenState.instance.isActive to listen window active event.
final ValueListenable<bool> event = DesktopScreenState.instance.isActive;

final bool active = event.value;

event.addListener(() {
  debugPrint("screen is on or off: ${event.value}");
});

  1. You can now utilize DesktopScreenState.instance.state to get the current state of the screen:
final ScreenState state = DesktopScreenState.instance.state;

switch (state) {
  case ScreenState.awaked:
    debugPrint("Screen is on");
    break;
  case ScreenState.sleep:
    debugPrint("Screen is sleep");
    break;
  case ScreenState.locked:
    debugPrint("Screen is locked");
    break;
  case ScreenState.unlocked:
    debugPrint("Screen is unlocked");
    break;
}
The DesktopScreenState instance provides an enum ScreenState with the following possible values:
