I want to recieve geo location using webview of site but in flutter dart app using javascript

Question

JavaScript Code:

var x = document.getElementById("x");

    document.getElementById('button').onclick = function() 
    {
        function showPosition(position) 
        {
            console.log("in showPosition");
            x.innerHTML = "Latitude: " + position.coords.latitude +
                "<br>Longitude: " + position.coords.longitude;
        }
        alert("button was clicked");
        console.log("sdfghj");
        if (navigator.geolocation) 
        {

            navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(showPosition);
            console.log("in if ");



        }else 
        {
            x.innerHTML = "Geolocation is not supported by this browser.";
            console.log("in else ");

        }

    }

But the permission request popup never opens. Flutter Code:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:webview_flutter/webview_flutter.dart';

class WebViewStack extends StatefulWidget {
  const WebViewStack({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  State<WebViewStack> createState() => _WebViewStackState();
}


void main() {
  runApp(
    const MaterialApp(
      home: WebViewStack(),
    ),
  );
}

class _WebViewStackState extends State<WebViewStack> {
  var loadingPercentage = 0;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Stack(
      children: [
        WebView(

          javascriptMode: JavascriptMode.unrestricted,
          initialUrl: 'example.com',
        ),
       
      ],
    );
  }
}

But on web, it's working Fine. What is the correct way to access a user's location from within a WebView?

I am working on a project that needs to get user's current location using HTML 5 geolocation. But I need to know why WebView is not showing my current location. What I've to do to show the map and current location in WebView??

If your question is about missing permissions, you should use a plugin like Permission Handler - https://pub.dev/packages/permission_handler Read through the Readme and you are done. :)
