A plugin that allows you to pick absolute paths from diferent file types.

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: ^1.0.2

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 cloud files (GDrive, Dropbox, iCloud)
  • Load path from PDF
  • Load path from gallery
  • Load path from camera
  • Load path from video
