Cast Future<File> to base64 image with Flutter - image

Question

Hi the flutter code below loads a photo from the camera roll and then displays it, on video, what I have to do is recover the path of the file, to do it I use the code below inside the inserimento function but when I run the code I the following error:
Try correcting the name to the name of an existing getter, or defining
a getter or field named 'path'. print("\n Immagine:
"+imageFile.path);
Flutter Code:
Future<File> imageFile;
//Costruttore
ArticoloEditPage(){
aggiornaValori();
BackButtonInterceptor.add(myInterceptor);
setData(new DateTime.now());
}
//Disabilito il bottone di back su android
bool myInterceptor(bool stopDefaultButtonEvent, RouteInfo info) {
return true;
}
//Funzione di init
void init() {
aggiornaValori();
BackButtonInterceptor.add(myInterceptor);
}
//Funzione che esegue la creazione dell'utente
Future<bool> inserimento(BuildContext context) async {
print("\n Immagine: "+imageFile.path);
// var base64File=await Supporto.castDocumentToBase64(imgPath);
//print("\n Immagine in base64: "+imgPath);
}
pickImageFromGallery(ImageSource source) {
setState(() {
imageFile = ImagePicker.pickImage(source: source);
});
}
Widget showImage() {
return FutureBuilder<File>(
future: imageFile,
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<File> snapshot) {
if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done &&
snapshot.data != null) {
return Image.file(
snapshot.data,
width: 300,
height: 300,
);
} else if (snapshot.error != null) {
return const Text(
'Errore caricamento non riuscito',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
);
} else {
return const Text(
'Nessuna immagine selezionata',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
);
}
},
);
}

Answer 1

you can not get path directly in future method,
so
by
1. this you can print your path.
Future<bool> inserimento(BuildContext context) async {
var pathData=await imageFile;
print("\n Immagine: "+pathData.path);
}
or
2. if you need path in widget
Widget showImage() {
return FutureBuilder<File>(
future: imageFile,
builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot<File> snapshot) {
if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done &&
snapshot.data != null) {
print("Your Path : "+snapshot.data.path);
return Image.file(
snapshot.data,
width: 300,
height: 300,
);
} else if (snapshot.error != null) {
return const Text(
'Errore caricamento non riuscito',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
);
} else {
return const Text(
'Nessuna immagine selezionata',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
);
}
},
);
}
also
3. if you need base64 image.
then
Future<bool> inserimento(BuildContext context) async {
var pathData=await imageFile;
var base64Image = base64Encode(pathData.readAsBytesSync());
print("\n Immagine base64Image: "+base64Image.toString());
}
