new CircleAvatar(
backgroundColor: Colors.black87,
backgroundImage: new NetworkImage(url),
radius: 45.0,
)
I Want to show a local image in CircleAvatar until the NetworkImage fully loads from the internet.
You may want to try a FadeInImage wrapped in a ClipOval. FadeInImage provides a placeholder property you can use while the network image is loading.
Note: ClipOval can be expensive if you do it a lot, so use it sparingly.
