Image Picker plugin for Flutter

A Flutter plugin for iOS and Android for picking images from the image library, and taking new pictures with the camera.

Note: This plugin is still under development, and some APIs might not be available yet. Feedback welcome and Pull Requests are most welcome!

Installation

First, add image_picker as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

iOS

Add the following keys to your Info.plist file, located in <project root>/ios/Runner/Info.plist:

• NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription - describe why your app needs permission for the photo library. This is called Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description in the visual editor.
• NSCameraUsageDescription - describe why your app needs access to the camera. This is called Privacy - Camera Usage Description in the visual editor.

Android

Add the following permissions to your Android Manifest, located in `/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"/>

You're good to go!

        child: imageFile == null
            ? new Text('No image selected.')
            : new Image.file(imageFile),
      ),
