screen_record_detection #

A Flutter plugin that detects screen recording events in real time on both Android and iOS.
Useful for protecting sensitive content, preventing data leakage, and enhancing app security.

✨ Features #

• 🎥 Real-time screen recording detection (via stream)
• 📱 Works on Android and iOS
• ⚡ Simple API — just listen to a stream
• 🔄 Stream updates automatically when recording starts/stops

📦 Installation #

Add this to your pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  screen_record_detection: ^0.0.3

Import it:

import 'package:screen_record_detection/screen_record_detection.dart';

🚀 Usage #

Listening to screen recording events:

final detector = ScreenRecordDetector();

detector.onRecordingStateChanged.listen((isRecording) {
  print("Recording: $isRecording");
});

Stream values:

• true → screen recording is active
• false → no recording is happening

📱 Example #

Below is a complete runnable Flutter example demonstrating how to react to screen recording events using a StreamBuilder.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:screen_record_detection/screen_record_detection.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyApp> createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  final _detector = ScreenRecordDetector();
  late Stream<bool> _recordingStream;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _recordingStream = _detector.onRecordingStateChanged.asBroadcastStream();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Screen Recording Demo')),
        body: StreamBuilder<bool>(
          stream: _recordingStream,
          builder: (context, snapshot) {
            final isRecording = snapshot.data == true;

            return Center(
              child: Text(
                isRecording
                    ? "Screen is being recorded"
                    : "No recording detected",
                style: const TextStyle(fontSize: 16),
              ),
            );
          },
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

🔧 Platform Details #

Android #

• Detects screen recording through native MediaProjection callbacks.
• Works on Android 15+ reliably. Because, android it is new feature.
• Supports both wired and wireless recording methods.

iOS #

• Uses UIScreen.captured to detect capture state.
• Listens for UIScreen.capturedDidChangeNotification.
• Works on all modern iOS versions.

⚠️ Notes #

• Some Android devices may require user permission for screen recording APIs to activate.
• Detection depends on the platform’s available APIs — results may vary on older OS versions.
