file_picker

File picker plugin alows you to use a native file explorer to load absolute file path from different types of files.

Installation

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

file_picker: ^0.1.3

Android

Add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" /> to your app AndroidManifest.xml file.

iOS

Since we are using image_picker as a dependency from this plugin to load paths from gallery and camera, we need 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.
  • NSMicrophoneUsageDescription - describe why your app needs access to the microphone, if you intend to record videos. This is called Privacy - Microphone Usage Description in the visual editor.

To-do

  • Load paths from local files & cloud (GDrive, Dropbox, iCloud)
  • Load PDF file path
  • Load path from gallery
  • Load path from camera shot
  • Load a custom format

  void getFilePath() async {
   try {
      String filePath = await FilePicker.getFilePath(type: FileType.PDF);
      if (filePath == '') {
        return;
      }
      print("File path: " + filePath);
      setState((){this._filePath = filePath;});
    } on PlatformException catch (e) {
      print("Error while picking the file: " + e.toString());
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text('File Picker Example'),
      ),
      body: new Center(
        child: _filePath == null
            ? new Text('No file selected.')
            : new Text('Path' + _filePath),
      ),
