I'm using ImageGallerySaver for downloading gif files.
At Android platform, It takes good.
But iOS platform, gif files save as jpg. So, files not animated...
please help me.
My code likes this.
var appDocDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
String savePath = appDocDir.path + "/temp.gif";
await Dio().download(imgUrl, savePath);
final result = await ImageGallerySaver.saveFile(savePath);

Am having bit a problem saving videos and i want to download it for sure if the video is downloaded and can be shown public in gallery or photos in ios.
code so far
final down = await getTemporaryDirectory(); // from path_provider
File saveFile = File(down.path +
"/${mediaUrl.substring(mediaUrl.lastIndexOf("/")).replaceAll("/", "")}");
await DioMethods.d
.download(response["url"].toString(), saveFile.path);
await GallerySaver.saveVideo(saveFile.path).then((value) =>
Loadings.snackBarmessage(
title: mediaUrl
.substring(mediaUrl.lastIndexOf("/"))
.replaceAll("/", ""),
message: "Saved Successfully"));
error logs if the file is .webm
[VERBOSE-2:ui_dart_state.cc(209)] Unhandled Exception: Invalid argument(s): File on path is not a video.
If would like to view the files on your mobile, you can use this gallery_saver plugin to save your video file in Gallery.
final video = await controller.stopVideoRecording();
await GallerySaver.saveVideo(video.path);
In my flutter application I can create a pdf file, then I want to save it in Download folder.
I'm trying to achieve this goal with path_provider package, but I can't.
This is the sample code from flutter's cookbook, If I use it I don't get any error, but I don't find the file either.
final directory = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
File file2 = File("${directory.path}/test.txt");
await file2.writeAsString('TEST ONE');
What's the correct way to do it?
To find the correct path please use ext_storage.
You will need this permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
on Android 10 you need this in your manifest
<application
android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true"
on Android 11 use this instead
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
Remember to ask for them using permission_handler
I leave you my code:
static Future saveInStorage(
String fileName, File file, String extension) async {
await _checkPermission();
String _localPath = (await ExtStorage.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(
ExtStorage.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS))!;
String filePath =
_localPath + "/" + fileName.trim() + "_" + Uuid().v4() + extension;
File fileDef = File(filePath);
await fileDef.create(recursive: true);
Uint8List bytes = await file.readAsBytes();
await fileDef.writeAsBytes(bytes);
}
Android 11 changed a lot of things with its emphasis on scoped storage. Although /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.my.app/files is one of the directory paths given by the path_provider pkg, you won't be able to see files saved in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.my.app/files just using any run-of-the-mill file application (Google Files, Samsung My Files, etc.).
A way to get around this (although it only works on Android) is to specify the "general" downloads folder as shown below.
Directory generalDownloadDir = Directory('/storage/emulated/0/Download');
if you write whatever file you are trying to save to that directory, it will show up in the Downloads folder in any standard file manager application, rather than just the application-specific directory that the path_provider pkg provides.
Below is some test code from an app I'm building where I save a user-generated QR code to the user's device. Just for more clarity.
//this code "wraps" the qr widget into an image format
RenderRepaintBoundary boundary = key.currentContext!
.findRenderObject() as RenderRepaintBoundary;
//captures qr image
var image = await boundary.toImage();
String qrName = qrTextController.text;
ByteData? byteData =
await image.toByteData(format: ImageByteFormat.png);
Uint8List pngBytes = byteData!.buffer.asUint8List();
//general downloads folder (accessible by files app) ANDROID ONLY
Directory generalDownloadDir = Directory('/storage/emulated/0/Download'); //! THIS WORKS for android only !!!!!!
//qr image file saved to general downloads folder
File qrJpg = await File('${generalDownloadDir.path}/$qrName.jpg').create();
await qrJpg.writeAsBytes(pngBytes);
Fluttertoast.showToast(msg: ' $qrName QR code was downloaded to ' + generalDownloadDir.path.toString(), gravity: ToastGravity.TOP);
You want getExternalStorageDirectories. You can pass a parameter to specify the downloads specifically:
final directory = (await getExternalStorageDirectories(type: StorageDirectory.downloads)).first!;
File file2 = File("${directory.path}/test.txt");
await file2.writeAsString('TEST ONE');
If you're using null safety you don't need the bang operator:
final directory = (await getExternalStorageDirectories(type: StorageDirectory.downloads)).first;
File file2 = File("${directory.path}/test.txt");
await file2.writeAsString('TEST ONE');
For downloading file in Downloads folder, here are examples:
// Save multiple files
DocumentFileSave.saveMultipleFiles([textBytes, textBytes2], ["text1.txt", "text2.txt"], ["text/plain", "text/plain"]);
//Save single text file
DocumentFileSave.saveFile(textBytes, "my_sample_file.txt", "text/plain");
//Save single pdf file
DocumentFileSave.saveFile(pdfBytes, "my_sample_file.pdf", "appliation/pdf");
//Save single image file
DocumentFileSave.saveFile(imageJPGBytes, "my_sample_file.jpg", "image/jpeg");

Here I want to share image which I get through API. I tried different method for this functionality but I did not get any solution because every solutions have for only one image.
Exactly, I get multiple image from Url and I open any particular image in next page. So, I want to share that image which I opened in another page.
I tried for sharing image but I could not did this. Whenever I try to share that image, Image url share with sharing option on device but I want share image not URl of image How I can accomplish this?
You have to download the image like this:
http.Response response = await http.get(url);
then create an image on the device using the downloaded image like this (Read and Write Files):
final directory = await getTemporaryDirectory();
final path = directory.path;
final file = File('$path/image.png');
file.writeAsBytes(response.bodyBytes);
The getTemporaryDirectory() is in the plugin path_provider. Now, you have the image you'd like to share stored in the temporarily as "image.png" and you can use the share_plus plugin to share the image like this:
Share.shareFiles(['$path/image.png']);
Thanks to #abdulrazak, At first, you have to download the image in a temporary path & then you can share the image as you want. used Dio to download the image & share_plus for sharing
void _shareNetworkImage(String url) async {
Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
final path = '${tempDir.path}/test.jpeg';
await Dio().download(url, path);
Share.shareFiles([path]);
}
You can use the esys_flutter_share plugin.
Install it, and then get dependencies:
dependencies:
esys_flutter_share: ^1.0.2
Import the plugin to your code:
import 'package:esys_flutter_share/esys_flutter_share.dart';
Use the below code:
var request = await HttpClient().getUrl(Uri.parse('https://yourImageURL.jpg'));
var response = await request.close();
Uint8List bytes = await consolidateHttpClientResponseBytes(response);
await Share.file('ESYS AMLOG', 'amlog.jpg', bytes, 'image/jpg');
Looking for a good sample working code for downloading any file from URL in flutter. If its with native downloader then this will be very good. Please help me with sample of code to download any file using native downloader in flutter.
I have used few libraries but didn't turned out well.
For a mobile device, I used the http package to download a file to the applications document directory
First, create a httpClient object
static var httpClient = new HttpClient();
Then you can create a function like this to download the file:
Future<void> _downloadFile({
required String fileName,
}) async {
String url = ...;
var request = await httpClient.getUrl(Uri.parse(url));
var response = await request.close();
var bytes = await consolidateHttpClientResponseBytes(response);
String dir = (await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory())!.path;
File file = new File('$dir/$fileName'); // Note: Filename must contain the extension of the file too, like pdf, jpg etc.
await file.writeAsBytes(bytes);
}
For a flutter web application, I felt the url_launcher package was the easiest to work with.
_launchURL() async {
String url = ...;
if (await canLaunch(url)) {
await launch(url);
print('URL Launcher success');
} else {
throw Exception('Could not launch $url');
}
}
The url_launcher package code works even for a mobile device but it opens a new browser window to download the required file which is not a good user experience so I have used 2 approaches for the same problem.
Hope I have answered your query.
My question is if there is a way to load a .pdf file in app resources like assets when deploying flutter app ? I'd like to display a PDF file using this:
https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/flutter_full_pdf_viewer
but without loading from internet ;)
Copy the asset to a temporary file.
Future<File> copyAsset() async {
Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
String tempPath = tempDir.path;
File tempFile = File('$tempPath/copy.pdf');
ByteData bd = await rootBundle.load('assets/asset.pdf');
await tempFile.writeAsBytes(bd.buffer.asUint8List(), flush: true);
return tempFile;
}
