I am using Agora for a one-to-one video chat purpose in Flutter. User1 has an app to go online and user2 has another app to go online. After both of them go online, they can do video chat with one another. Both apps have almost similar codebase.
I have a screen or activity (say screen1) where an alert dialog is shown on tapping a button (say button1). On tapping the Continue button in the alert dialog, the dialog disappears and the user is taken to the screen (say screen2) where the video chat takes place. But after going to the video chat screen successfully, if the user taps on the back button on the mobile set then s/he is taken to screen1 and after tapping on button1, if the user taps on the Continue button in the popped up alert dialog, the user is again taken to screen2 but this time the local video (i.e. video of the user using the app) keeps loading for ever. Obviously I want the local video to load as it did for the first time.
I am gonna put my code here in such a way that you can easily run that.
Following code is for user1. For user2, no alert box is there in the app. Same code from user1 is used for user2 app, except the value of remoteUid is set to be 2 for user2 while this value is set to be 1 for user1. These are just two values identifying 2 users.
For user1:

In order to get the app ID and token, login to Agora site. After logging in, go to the 'Project Management' section to see the projects already created there. Under the Functions column, click on the key symbol and you will be taken to a page where you can generate a temporary token. On that page, give the channel name input the value 'InstaClass' as I have used this name in my code.
How to make the video chat work smoothly after the first time it works well ?
CodePudding user response：
I think the problem is that when pressing back button you are just being taken to the previous screen and the call session is not being end. You can try by leaving the channel when pressing back button like :
_engine.leaveChannel();
End Call button sample
ElevatedButton(
onPressed: () {
_rtcEngine.leaveChannel();
Navigator.pop(context);
},
style: ButtonStyle(
shape: MaterialStateProperty.all(CircleBorder()),
backgroundColor: MaterialStateProperty.all(Colors.red),
padding: MaterialStateProperty.all(
EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(15, 15, 15, 12)),
),
child: Icon(
Icons.phone,

Back Button override using WillPopScope
return WillPopScope(
onWillPop: () async {
_rtcEngine.leaveChannel();
return true;
