READ THIS FIRST ‼️

Although the package provides assets selection, it still requires users to build their own methods to handle upload, image compress, etc. If you have any questions about how to build them, please run the example or refer to photo_manager for API usage.

Simple usage

final List<AssetEntity> assets = await AssetPicker.pickAssets(context);

Using custom delegate

final YourAssetPickerProvider provider = yourProvider;
final CustomAssetPickerBuilderDelegate builder = yourBuilder(provider);
final List<YourAssetEntity>? result = await AssetPicker.pickAssetsWithDelegate(
  context,
  provider: provider,
  delegate: builder,
);

You can use the keepScrollOffset feature only with the pickAssetsWithDelegate method. See the Keep scroll offset pick method in the example for how to implement it.

Detailed usage

TL;DR, we've put multiple common usage with the packages into the example.

Regular picking

You can both found List<PickMethod> pickMethods in example/lib/pages/multi_assets_page.dart and example/lib/pages/single_assets_page.dart, which provide methods in multiple picking and single picking mode. Assets will be stored temporary and displayed at the below of the page.

Multiple assets picking

The maximum assets limit is 9 in the multiple picking page, and you can modify it as you wish.

Some methods can only work with multiple mode, such as "WeChat Moment".

Single asset picking

Only one and maximum to one asset can be picked at once.

Custom pickers

You can try custom pickers with the "Custom" page. We only defined a picker that integrates with Directory and File (completely out of the photo_manager scope). You can submit PRs to create your own implementation if you found your implementation might be useful for others. See [Contribute custom implementations][lib/customs/CONTRIBUTING.md] for more details.

Display selected assets

The AssetEntityImageProvider can display the thumb image of images & videos, and the original data of image. Use it like a common ImageProvider.

Image(image: AssetEntityImageProvider(asset, isOriginal: false))

Check the example for how it displays.

Register assets change observe callback

AssetPicker.registerObserve(); // Register callback.
AssetPicker.unregisterObserve(); // Unregister callback.

Customize with your own type or UI

AssetPickerBuilderDelegate, AssetPickerViewerBuilderDelegate, AssetPickerProvider and AssetPickerViewerProvider are all exposed and overridable. You can extend them and use your own type with generic type <A: Asset, P: Path>, then implement abstract methods. See the Custom page in the example which has an implementation based on <File, Directory> types.

Run flutter clean first.

How can I get path from the AssetEntity to integrate with File object, upload or edit?

You don't need it (might be).

You can always request the File object with entity.originFile, if Uint8List then entity.originBytes.

If you still need path after requested the File, get it through file.absolutePath.

How can I change the name of "Recent" or other entities name/properties?

The path entity called "Recent", brought by photo_manager in the path entities list, includes all AssetEntity on your device. "Recent" is a system named entity in most platforms. While we provided ability to customize the text delegate, the name/properties can only be updated with SortPathDelegate. This is the only way that you have access to all path entities, or the only way that we exposed currently.

To change the name of the path entity, extend the CommonSortPathDelegate with your own delegate, then write something like the code below:

/// Create your own sort path delegate.
class CustomSortPathDelegate extends CommonSortPathDelegate {
  const CustomSortPathDelegate();

  @override
  void sort(List<AssetPathEntity> list) {
    ///...///

    // In here you can check every path entities if you want.
    // The only property we recommend to change is [name],
    // And we have no responsibility for issues caused by
    // other properties update.
    for (final AssetPathEntity entity in list) {
      // If the entity `isAll`, that's the "Recent" entity you want.
      if (entity.isAll) {
        entity.name = 'Whatever you want';
      }
    }

    ///...///
  }
}

Pass the delegate through the static call method, then you will get a self-named path entity.

Create AssetEntity from File or Uint8List (rawData)

In order to combine this package with camera shooting or something related, there's a solution about how to create an AssetEntity with File or Uint8List object.

final File file = your_file; // Your file object
final Uint8List byteData = await file.readAsBytes(); // Convert to Uint8List
final AssetEntity imageEntity = await PhotoManager.editor.saveImage(byteData); // Saved in the device then create an AssetEntity

If you don't want to keep the asset in your device, just delete it after you complete with your process (upload, editing, etc).

final List<String> result = await PhotoManager.editor.deleteWithIds([entity.id]);

Glide warning 'Failed to find GeneratedAppGlideModule'

W/Glide   (21133): Failed to find GeneratedAppGlideModule. You should include an annotationProcessor compile dependency on com.github.bumptech.glide:compiler in you application ana a @GlideModule annotated AppGlideModule implementation or LibraryGlideModules will be silently ignored.

Glide needs annotation to keep singleton, prevent conflict between instances and versions, so while the photo manager uses Glide to implement image features, the project which import this should define its own AppGlideModule. See Android section for implementation.

Disable ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION permission

Android contains ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION permission by default. This permission is introduced in Android Q. If your app doesn't need the permission, you need to add the following node to the AndroidManifest.xml in your app:

<uses-permission
  android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION"
  tools:node="remove"
  />
