Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

likk_picker is a Flutter package that provides a customizable image picker with integration for both camera and gallery access, inspired by Facebook Messenger's media selection interface. Built on top of the Photo Manager library, it enables users to select and manage images from local storage or capture new ones directly through the device camera. The package supports custom UI components, making it ideal for apps requiring a polished, native-like media selection experience. It simplifies asset retrieval while maintaining flexibility for developers to tailor the picker’s appearance and behavior.

Remove Media Location permission

Android contains ACCESS_MEDIA_LOCATION permission by default.

This permission is introduced in Android Q. If your app doesn't need this permission, you need to add the following node to the Android manifest in your app.

If you found some warning logs with Glide appearing, then the main project needs an implementation of AppGlideModule. See Generated API.

Gallery

  1. Use GalleryViewWrapper to make gallery view collapsible otherwise ignore it.
class PickerDemo extends StatelessWidget {
 late final GalleryController controller;
 
 ...

 @override
 Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   return GalleryViewWrapper(
     controller: controller,
     child: Scaffold(
       body: ...
     ),
   );
 }
}
  1. GalleryController can be used for extra setting and picking media.
  • Using pick() function on controller to pick media.
class PickerDemo extends StatelessWidget {
  late final GalleryController controller;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller = GalleryController(
      gallerySetting: const GallerySetting(
        albumSubtitle: 'Collapsable',
        enableCamera: true,
        maximum: 10,
        requestType: RequestType.all,
      ),
      panelSetting: const PanelSetting(topMargin: 24.0),
    );
  }

  ...

  onPressed : () async {
    final entities = await controller.pick();
  }

  ...
}
  1. Using GalleryViewField similarly as flutter TextField to pick media.

  • onSubmitted – triggered when user done with selection

GalleryViewField(
  selectedEntities: [],
  onChanged: (entity, isRemoved) {
     ...
  },
  onSubmitted: (list) {
     ...
  }
  child: const Icon(Icons.camera),
),
