Saving a Video into gallery using path_provider package - flutter

Question

I have been Working on a small project where users can download WhatsApp status directly into their gallery. I made two tabs. one tab for WhatsApp Images and another for Videos. I could successfully download images into the gallery. now, I am facing a problem while downloading a Video into the gallery. I used path provider to download the video into the gallery. the Video gets downloaded in storage\emulated\0\android\data\com.JeevanCrasta.stikkers\files\videos\
I want to download those videos in the storage\emulated\0\Stikkr\videosdirectory. And those videos should be visible in the gallery. now those videos get downloaded in a different directory and are not visible in the gallary.
this is the code where videos get downloaded while the button is pressed :
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
backgroundColor: Colors.teal,
child: Icon(Icons.download_sharp),
onPressed: () async {
_onLoading(true, "");
File originalVideoFile = File(widget.videoFile);
Directory directory = await getExternalStorageDirectory();
if (Directory("${directory.path.toString()}/Stikkr").existsSync()) {
Directory("${directory.path.toString()}/Stikkr")
.createSync(recursive: true);
}
String path = directory.path;
String curDate = DateTime.now().toString();
String newFileName = "$path/Stikkr/Videos/VIDEO-$curDate.mp4";
// print(newFileName);
await originalVideoFile.copy(newFileName);
_onLoading(false,
"If Video not available in gallary\n\nYou can find all videos at");
},
),

Answer 1

You can use package https://pub.dev/packages/gallery_saver
1 Saves images and videos from network, it has to contain http/https prefix.
2 Save temporary file to external storage
Both images and videos will be visible in Android Gallery and iOS Photos.
In your case, file has downloaded, so you can pass newFileName and use
GallerySaver.saveVideo(newFileName).then((String path) {
setState(() {
secondButtonText = 'video saved!';
});
});
