Display images from the internet
How to display images from the internet.
Displaying images is fundamental for most mobile apps. Flutter provides theImage widget to display different types of images.
To work with images from a URL, use theImage.network() constructor.
Image.network('https://picsum.photos/250?image=9'),Bonus: animated gifs
# One useful thing about theImage widget: It supports animated gifs.
Image.network('https://docs.flutter.dev/assets/images/dash/dash-fainting.gif',);Image fade in with placeholders
# The defaultImage.network constructor doesn't handle more advanced functionality, such as fading images in after loading. To accomplish this task, check outFade in images with a placeholder.
Interactive example
#import 'package:flutter/material.dart';void main() => runApp(const MyApp());class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { const MyApp({super.key}); @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { var title = 'Web Images'; return MaterialApp( title: title, home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar(title: Text(title)), body: Image.network('https://picsum.photos/250?image=9'), ), ); }}Unless stated otherwise, the documentation on this site reflects Flutter 3.38.6.
