Flutter How to show gallery images in grid view

Question

I tried everything to show gallery images in grid view in a flutter. But I couldn't find any appropriate method.

Solution

What your trying to achieve is pretty complex(folder location,reading the files stored there, identifying the once you would like to display...)

There are two options:

Use this plugin if your not making an app specifically to access photos stored in the users phone without having your own UI

https://pub.dev/packages/image_picker

If your developing an app specifically for accessing photos stored in the user's phone (with own UI)

The below links might help you:

https://pub.dev/packages/image_gallery

https://pub.dev/packages/photo_view

There is even a widget for displaying mutliple widgets in the form of a grid called as GridView.

I would recommend breaking your problem into parts and then ask each of them individually in the form of multiple questions because your basically in a way asking an entire model for an app which would require a lot of explanation.

I have to add images from the gallery. Images are not in my assets.

Oops, sorry my bad. Did you try to make the list with this plugin ? pub.dartlang.org/packages/flutter_multiple_image_picker

The problem with image_gallery is, that it is exceeding memory, because it's loading ALL Images at once! No broadcasting or streaming of MethodChannel! I definetly don't recommend it!
