Showing selected image in alert dialog in flutter - flutter

Question

How can i show the selected image in my alert dialog ?
In my app, i added an alert dialog which has the camera button. When user clicks the camera button, another alert dialog asks to select file from gallery. After the user selects image file from gallery, i want to show the image in the alert dialog with the camera button, but the image shows only after reopening the alert dialog.
I have posted my code below. I am new to flutter. Please can someone help me? Thanks in advance.
class Test extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_State createState() => new _State();
}
Future<File> imageFile;
class _State extends State<Test> {
Future<void> _openDailog() async {

Answer 1

That is because you would need to setState() however you can't do that in an alert dialogue as it doesn't have its own state, the workaround for that would be to have the dialogue be its own stateful widget. Please check out this article as it shows how to do that. If you faced problems let me know!
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';
void main() {
runApp(new MaterialApp(
home: new MyHomePage(),
));
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}
class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
int _selectedIndex = 0;
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("StackoverFlow"),
),
body: Container(),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: () async {
await _dialogCall(context);
},
),
);
}
Future<void> _dialogCall(BuildContext context) {
return showDialog(
context: context,
builder: (BuildContext context) {
return MyDialog();
});
}
}
class MyDialog extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyDialogState createState() => new _MyDialogState();
}
class _MyDialogState extends State<MyDialog> {
String imagePath;
Image image;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return AlertDialog(
content: new SingleChildScrollView(
child: new ListBody(
children: <Widget>[
Container(child: image!= null? image:null),
GestureDetector(
child: Row(
children: <Widget>[
Icon(Icons.camera),
SizedBox(width: 5),
Text('Take a picture '),
],
),
onTap: () async {
await getImageFromCamera();
setState(() {
});
}),
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
),
],
),
),
);
}
Future getImageFromCamera() async {
var x = await ImagePicker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.camera);
imagePath = x.path;
image = Image(image: FileImage(x));
}
}

Answer 2

Try this solution with GestureDetector() .it works
onTap:()async{
var image = await ImagePicker.pickImage(
source: ImageSource.gallery).whenComplete((){
setState(() {
});
}
);
setState(() {
_image = image;
});
},
