Usage 📖

Localizations

When you're picking assets, the package will obtain the Locale? from your BuildContext, and return the corresponding text delegate of the current language. Make sure you have a valid Locale in your widget tree that can be accessed from the BuildContext. Otherwise, the default Chinese delegate will be used.

Embedded text delegates languages are:

  • 简体中文 (default)
  • English
  • העברית
  • Deutsche
  • Локализация
  • 日本語
  • مة العربية
  • Délégué
  • Tiếng Việt
  • Türkçe Yerelleştirme

If you want to use a custom/fixed text delegate, pass it through the AssetPickerConfig.textDelegate.

Simple usage

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

Use AssetPickerConfig for more picking behaviors.

final List<AssetEntity>? result = await AssetPicker.pickAssets(
  context,
  pickerConfig: const AssetPickerConfig(),
);

Fields in AssetPickerConfig:

Name Type Description Default
selectedAssets List<AssetEntity>? Selected assets. Prevent duplicate selection. null
maxAssets int Maximum asset that the picker can pick. 9
pageSize int? Number of assets per page. Must be a multiple of gridCount. 80
gridThumbnailSize ThumbnailSize Thumbnail size for the grid's item. ThumbnailSize.square(200)
pathThumbnailSize ThumbnailSize Thumbnail size for the path selector. ThumbnailSize.square(80)
previewThumbnailSize ThumbnailSize? Preview thumbnail size in the viewer. null
requestType RequestType Request type for picker. RequestType.common
specialPickerType SpecialPickerType? Provides the option to integrate a custom picker type. null
keepScrollOffset bool Whether the picker should save the scroll offset between pushes and pops. null
sortPathDelegate SortPathDelegate<AssetPathEntity>? Path entities sort delegate for the picker, sort paths as you want. CommonSortPathDelegate
sortPathsByModifiedDate bool Whether to allow sort delegates to sort paths with FilterOptionGroup.containsPathModified. false
filterOptions PMFilter? Allow users to customize assets filter options. null
gridCount int Grid count in picker. 4
themeColor Color? Main theme color for the picker. Color(0xff00bc56)
pickerTheme ThemeData? Theme data provider for the picker and the viewer. null
textDelegate AssetPickerTextDelegate? Text delegate for the picker, for customize the texts. AssetPickerTextDelegate()
specialItemPosition SpecialItemPosition Allow users set a special item in the picker with several positions. SpecialItemPosition.none
specialItemBuilder SpecialItemBuilder? The widget builder for the special item. null
loadingIndicatorBuilder IndicatorBuilder? Indicates the loading status for the builder. null
selectPredicate AssetSelectPredicate Predicate whether an asset can be selected or unselected. null
shouldRevertGrid bool? Whether the assets grid should revert. null
limitedPermissionOverlayPredicate LimitedPermissionOverlayPredicate? Predicate whether the limited permission overlay should be displayed. null
pathNameBuilder PathNameBuilder<AssetPathEntity>? Build customized path (album) name with the given path entity. null
assetsChangeCallback AssetsChangeCallback<AssetPathEntity>? The callback that will be called when the system notifies assets changes. null
assetsChangeRefreshPredicate AssetsChangeRefreshPredicate<AssetPathEntity>? Whether assets changing should call refresh with the given call and the current selected path. null
shouldAutoPlayPreview bool Whether the preview should auto play. false
  • When maxAssets equals to 1 (a.k.a. single picking mode), use SpecialPickerType.noPreview will immediately select asset clicked (pressed) by the user and popped.
  • limitedPermissionOverlayPredicate lives without persistence, if you want to ignore the limited preview after restart, you'll need to integrate with your own saving methods.

Detailed usage

We've put multiple common usage with the packages in the example. You can both found List<PickMethod> pickMethods in here and here, which provide methods in multiple picking and single picking mode. Assets will be stored temporary and displayed at the below of the page.

Display selected assets

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

AssetEntityImage(asset, isOriginal: false);

Or:

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

Register assets change observe callback

// Register callback.
AssetPicker.registerObserve();

// Unregister callback.
AssetPicker.unregisterObserve();

Upload an AssetEntity with a form data

There are multiple ways to upload an AssetEntity with I/O related methods. Be aware, I/O related methods will consume performance (typically time and memory), they should not be called frequently.

With http

http package: https://pub.dev/packages/http

The http package uses MultipartFile to handle files in requests.

Pseudo code:

import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

Future<void> upload() async {
  final entity = await obtainYourEntity();
  final uri = Uri.https('example.com', 'create');
  final request = http.MultipartRequest('POST', uri)
    ..fields['test_field'] = 'test_value'
    ..files.add(await multipartFileFromAssetEntity(entity));
  final response = await request.send();
  if (response.statusCode == 200) {
    print('Uploaded!');
  }
}

Future<http.MultipartFile> multipartFileFromAssetEntity(AssetEntity entity) async {
  http.MultipartFile mf;
  // Using the file path.
  final file = await entity.file;
  if (file == null) {
    throw StateError('Unable to obtain file of the entity ${entity.id}.');
  }
  mf = await http.MultipartFile.fromPath('test_file', file.path);
  // Using the bytes.
  final bytes = await entity.originBytes;
  if (bytes == null) {
    throw StateError('Unable to obtain bytes of the entity ${entity.id}.');
  }
  mf = http.MultipartFile.fromBytes('test_file', bytes);
  return mf;
}
With dio

dio package: https://pub.dev/packages/dio

The dio package also uses MultipartFile to handle files in requests.

Pseudo code:

import 'package:dio/dio.dart' as dio;

Future<void> upload() async {
  final entity = await obtainYourEntity();
  final uri = Uri.https('example.com', 'create');
  final response = dio.Dio().requestUri(
    uri,
    data: dio.FormData.fromMap({
      'test_field': 'test_value',
      'test_file': await multipartFileFromAssetEntity(entity),
    }),
  );
  print('Uploaded!');
}

Future<dio.MultipartFile> multipartFileFromAssetEntity(AssetEntity entity) async {
  dio.MultipartFile mf;
  // Using the file path.
  final file = await entity.file;
  if (file == null) {
    throw StateError('Unable to obtain file of the entity ${entity.id}.');
  }
  mf = await dio.MultipartFile.fromFile(file.path);
  // Using the bytes.
  final bytes = await entity.originBytes;
  if (bytes == null) {
    throw StateError('Unable to obtain bytes of the entity ${entity.id}.');
  }
  mf = dio.MultipartFile.fromBytes(bytes);
  return mf;
}

Custom pickers

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.

To know about how to fully customize themes, widgets or layouts. See how to customize delegates in the custom pickers page in the example.

You can submit PRs to create your own implementation if you found your implementation might be useful for others. See Contribute custom implementations for more details.

Frequently asked question ❔

Changing the default album name (Recent to others)

Recent is the fix album name for the ALL assets on Android since the all assets' album is not an actual album, it only represents all media data records.

To solve that on Android, use pathNameBuilder, for example:

AssetPickerConfig(
  pathNameBuilder: (AssetPathEntity path) => switch (path) {
    final p when p.isAll => '最近',
    // You can apply similar conditions to other common paths.
    _ => path.name,
  },
)

Other albums or albums on other platforms (iOS/macOS) will follow the configured system localization and supported localizations. pathNameBuilder is available for all albums.

See photo_manager#561 for more details.

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 String path = file.path;
final AssetEntity fileEntity = await PhotoManager.editor.saveImageWithPath(
  path,
  title: basename(path),
); // Saved in the device then create an AssetEntity

final Uint8List data = your_data; // Your `Uint8List` object
final AssetEntity imageEntity = await PhotoManager.editor.saveImage(
  file.path,
  title: 'title_with_extension.jpg',
); // Saved in the device then create an AssetEntity

Notice: If you don't want to keep the file in your device, use File for operations as much as possible. Deleting an AssetEntity might cause system popups show:

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

See photo_manager#from-raw-data and photo_manager#delete-entities for more details.

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 Glide Generated API docs for implementation.
