native_screenshot 0.0.2+1

A simple plugin to take screenshots using native code (iOS & Android).

native_screenshot

This plugin aims to be a simple one that implements taking screenshot natively to capture scenes like camera preview or AR views. This cannot be done easily in plain Flutter, at least I cannot make it work using RenderRepaintBoundary and similar techniques.

The main difference with another packages is that they shows a share dialog. This plugin saves the image and returns the path to it. On Android also launch an updating request (internally) to reload the media library.

Instalation

Add

native_screenshot: ^0.0.1

to your pubspec.yaml file.

Android

You must add

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

to your AndroidManifest.xml inside android/src/main/ directory.

Use

Import the library:

import 'package:native_screenshot/native_screenshot.dart';

and take a screenshot:

String path = NativeScreenshot.takeScreenshot()

In error case the function returns null and the screenshot path if success.
