Usage

First you need to add the plugin to your project.

iOS

You need to add those strings to your Info.plist file in order the plugin to work:

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>Example usage description</string>
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Example usage description</string>

Android

You need to request those permissions in AndroidManifest.xml in order the plugin to work:

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

For example code usage, please see here

Enable Camera in the Gallery

If you wish you can enable the camera in the gallery, so the user can not only chosse photos, but take them as well with the camera.

To do so you need to, create this file in android/app/src/main/res/xml/file_paths_public.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
    <external-path
        name="multiimagepicker_files"
        path="Pictures"/>
</paths>

And then add file provider in your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, before the </application> closing tag:

  <provider
    android:name="android.support.v4.content.FileProvider"
    android:authorities="YOUR_PACKAGE_NAME_HERE.fileprovider"
    android:exported="false"
    android:grantUriPermissions="true">
      <meta-data
        android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
        android:resource="@xml/file_paths_public"></meta-data>
  </provider>

That's it. When you invike the image picker you can then have to set enableCamera to true, as it is disabled by default:

  resultList = await MultiImagePicker.pickImages(
    maxImages: 300,
    enableCamera: true,
  );
