native_screenshot

Description:

native screenshot

native_screenshot #
This plugin aims to be a simple one that implements taking screenshot natively to capture scenes like camera preview or AR views. This cannot be done easily in plain Flutter, at least I cannot make it work using RenderRepaintBoundary and similar techniques.
The main difference with another packages is that they shows a share dialog. This plugin saves the image and returns the path to it. On Android also launch an updating request (internally) to reload the media library.

Also you need to add a property to application tag to fix an issue with permissions writing to EXTERNAL_STORAGE:

copied to clipboard
to your info.plist file inside ios/Runner directory, the application will crash.
Use #
Import the library:
import 'package:native_screenshot/native_screenshot.dart';

and take a screenshot:
String path = await NativeScreenshot.takeScreenshot()

In error case the function returns null and the screenshot path if success.
