Question

I am new to flutter, i am building an app where i need to convert the file(image) generated after using image_picker package to asset image to use in the app.
example code as follows, which creates file(Image)
final Function onSelectImage;
ImageInput(this.onSelectImage);
File _storedImage;
Future<void> _takePicture() async {
final imageFile = await ImagePicker.pickImage(
source: ImageSource.camera,
maxWidth: 600,
);
if (imageFile == null) {
return;
}
setState(() {
_storedImage = imageFile;
});
final appDir = await syspaths.getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
final fileName = path.basename(imageFile.path);
final savedImage = await imageFile.copy('${appDir.path}/$fileName');
widget.onSelectImage(savedImage);
}

You can create an image variable which you can rever to and update when you selected the image.
See the following code:
final Function onSelectImage;
ImageInput(this.onSelectImage);
File _storedImage;
Image _tempImage;
Future<void> _takePicture() async {
final imageFile = await ImagePicker.pickImage(
source: ImageSource.camera,
maxWidth: 600,
);
if (imageFile == null) {
return;
}
setState(() {
_storedImage = imageFile;
});
final appDir = await syspaths.getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
final fileName = path.basename(imageFile.path);
final savedImage = await imageFile.copy('${appDir.path}/$fileName');
widget.onSelectImage(savedImage);
setState(() {
_tempImage = imageFile;
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return _tempImage == null ? Container(child:null) : Image(image: _tempImage);
}
