You can save an image from the internet to a local directory using Flutter by using the dio
package to download the image and the path_provider
package to get the local app directory. Here's an example of how to do it:
First, add the dio
and path_provider
packages to your pubspec.yaml
file:
dependencies:
dio: ^4.0.0
path_provider: ^2.0.1
Then import them in your Dart file:
import 'package:dio/dio.dart';
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart';
import 'dart:io';
Next, use the following code to download the image and save it to a local directory:
void saveImage(String imageUrl) async {
try {
Dio dio = Dio();
Directory appDocDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
String savePath = appDocDir.path + "/image.jpg";
await dio.download(imageUrl, savePath);
print("Image saved to local directory");
} catch (e) {
print(e.toString());
}
}
Replace imageUrl
with the URL of the image you want to download. The getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()
method gets the directory where your app can store files. savePath
is the path to the file where the image will be saved. Finally, the dio.download()
method downloads the image from the URL and saves it to the local directory.
Note that you need to add the android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission to your AndroidManifest.xml
file if you want to save the image to external storage.
