Download file from url, save to phones storage

Question

I\'m working on a project, that requires me to download a file from URL, once a button is tapped, and store it to phone storage (probably downloads folder).

Any idea

Answer 1

static var httpClient = new HttpClient();
Future _downloadFile(String url, String filename) async {
  var request = await httpClient.getUrl(Uri.parse(url));
  var response = await request.close();
  var bytes = await consolidateHttpClientResponseBytes(response);
  String dir = (await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()).path;
  File file = new File('$dir/$filename');
  await file.writeAsBytes(bytes);
  return file;
}
