To receive a message, define the onMessage callback in your UnityView widget.

Unity

To send and receive messages, include FlutterUnityPlugin.cs in your project, and use the Messages.Send and Messages.Receive methods.

A Message object has the following members:

• id (int)

A non-negative number representing the source view when receiving a message, and the destination view when sending a message. When sending a message, it can also be set to a negative number, indicating that the message is intended for any existing view.

• data (string)

The actual message.
