[FIXED] How to convert CameraController's XFile to Image type in Flutter?

Issue

Flutter's CameraController has a takePicture() method for taking picture from the camera which gives type of Future<XFile>, so I need to convert it to Image type from package:image/image.dart package to manually crop it with another method.

How to convert it?

Solution

This is my found solution:

import 'dart:io';
import 'package:image/image.dart' as img;

...

CameraController _controller;

...

final xFile = await _controller.takePicture();
final path = xFile.path;
final bytes = await File(path).readAsBytes();
final img.Image image = img.decodeImage(bytes);
