Is there any better way to convert network image to byteData? I am trying to convert network image from firebase url to byteData and here is my code:
Future<Uint8List> _loadNetworkImage() async {
try {
final response = await http.get(imageUrl);
return response.bodyBytes;
} catch (_) {
throw "Couldn't resolve network Image.";
}
}
Currently it takes almost 20+ seconds for a 7mb photo to be converted.
Here is how I ended up doing it.
Future<Uint8List?> _loadNetworkImage(String path) async {
final completer = Completer<ImageInfo>();
var img = NetworkImage(path);
img.resolve(const ImageConfiguration()).addListener(
ImageStreamListener((info, _) => completer.complete(info)));
final imageInfo = await completer.future;
final byteData =
await imageInfo.image.toByteData(format: ui.ImageByteFormat.png);
return byteData?.buffer.asUint8List();
}
