Description:

audio picker

audio_picker #
A Flutter plugin for Android and iOS to pick local Audio files. This supports choosing Audio files from the Music App in iOS, and from the File Explorer in Android.
Introduction #
This plugin opens a picker to get the absolute path of Audio files from your phone.
If you ever wanted to play songs in your app, or upload audio files to your server, this plugin helps you get the absolute path of the audio file that you select.
Android #
Add the following line in your AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
copied to clipboard
iOS #
Add the following line in your Info.plist
<key>NSAppleMusicUsageDescription</key>
<string>Explain why your app uses music</string>
copied to clipboard
In the case of iOS, it exports the audio file that you choose from the Music App.
Usage #
var path = await AudioPicker.pickAudio();
copied to clipboard
That's it ! You now have the absolute path of the audio file that you selected.


Note : In the case of iOS, since we are retrieving the file from the Music App, the export operation may take a few seconds to complete. Hence it's advisable to show a loading indicator to the user while the await call executes.
Also note that DRM protected files won't return a path, and instead will return null as the path.
