You must get the user's permission on android/ios.

var result = await PhotoManager.requestPermission();
if (result) {
    // success
} else {
    // fail
    /// if result is fail, you can call `PhotoManger.openSetting();`  to open android/ios applicaton's setting to get permission
}

2. you get all of asset list (gallery)

List<AssetPathEntity> list = await PhotoManager.getAssetPathList();

or

List<AssetPathEntity> list = await PhotoManager.getImageAsset();

or

List<AssetPathEntity> list = await PhotoManager.getVideoAsset();

3. get asset list from imagePath

List<AssetEntity> imageList = await data.assetList;

4. use the AssetEntity

AssetEntity entity = imageList[0];

File file = await entity.file; // image file

List<int> fileData = await entity.fullData; // image/video file bytes

Uint8List thumbBytes = await entity.thumbData; // thumb data ,you can use Image.memory(thumbBytes); size is 64px*64px;

Uint8List thumbDataWithSize = await entity.thumbDataWithSize(width,height); //Just like thumbnails, you can specify your own size. unit is px;

AssetType type = entity.type; // the type of asset enum of other,image,video

Duration duration = await entity.duration; //if type is not video, then return null.

Usage

About isCache

If isCache of the getAssetPathList is true, method will return cache data. Invalid if no method with cache = false has been called before.

If the isCache = false method has not been invoked before, the data cannot be returned.

If releaseCache method is called, then cache will be clear, you must call getAssetPathList(isCache:false) before getAssetPathList(isCache:true)

Create AssetEntity with id

the id is AssetEntity.id

AssetEntity asset = await createAssetEntityWithId(id);

When this method is called, the image corresponding to ID has been deleted, and the return value is null.

observer

use addChangeCallback to regiser observe.

PhotoManager.addChangeCallback(changeNotify);
PhotoManager.startChangeNotify();

PhotoManager.removeChangeCallback(changeNotify);
PhotoManager.stopChangeNotify();

If your other android library use the library, and version is not same, then you need edit your android project's build.gradle.

    subprojects {
        project.configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
                if (details.requested.group == 'com.github.bumptech.glide'
                        && details.requested.name.contains('glide')) {
                    details.useVersion "4.9.0"
