let's say I have this
String imageNetworkLink = someUnstableLink;
I want to be able to show that image in my flutter app if it's working, otherwise I want to show an image from my assets.
I tried using Image.asset()
and AssetImage()
and Image.network()
but none of theme accepts a netork link and asset path link
I'm expecting to show either a link from network, if there is a problem, I want to show an image from asset
This is what you are looking for: https://pub.dev/packages/cached_network_image
Usage:
CachedNetworkImage(
imageUrl: "http://some_image_on_the_internet.png",
// Some widget to display while the network widget is loading
//It could be any widget
placeholder: (context, url) => Image.asset(''),
// Some widget to display if the network image was unable to load
// This could be because of loss of internet connection
errorWidget: (context, url, error) => Icon(Icons.error),
),
For your usecase, You may only need to implement imageUrl
which is required and errorWidget
, for when something goes wrong
