You can use package https://pub.dev/packages/path_provider
And write your file to tempPath
or appDocPath
Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
String tempPath = tempDir.path;
Directory appDocDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
String appDocPath = appDocDir.path;
For Android , In AndroidManifest.xml
, you can add permission
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

I'm pretty new to dart/flutter, so let me know if there is anything I can clarify. I'm trying to download a file, but when I try to access it, I get the error
FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path = './data.csv' (OS Error: Read-only file system, errno = 30)
What am I doing wrong, and how can I fix this?
downloadTextFile() { HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.getUrl(Uri.parse('I put the link I used here, but it is sort of long')) .then((HttpClientRequest request) { return request.close(); }) .then((HttpClientResponse response) { response.pipe(new File('./data.csv').openWrite()); }); readFileByLines(); } void readFileByLines() { File file = new File('./data.csv'); List<String> lines = file.readAsLinesSync(); lines.forEach((l) => print(l)); }
