A new Flutter plugin was created while using the framework to develop cross-platform apps at MobiDev
This project is a starting point for a Flutter plug-in package, a specialized package that includes platform-specific implementation code for Android and/or iOS.
For help getting started with Flutter, view our online documentation, which offers tutorials, samples, guidance on mobile development, and a full API reference.
A Flutter plugin that allows to share images to instagram or facebook
To use this plugin :
- Add the dependency to your pubspec.yaml file.
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
md_insta_fb_share:
ShareStatus {
success, // asset successfully sent to the share app (share app may not have persmissions which may throw an error inside share app)
appCanNotBeOpenedError, // share app can not be opened for some reason (app will be opened on store)
imageNotFoundError, // can not find asset
galleryAccessError, // can not save image in image gallery (requires for insta feed share)
unknownError // unknown error
}

Sharing Facebook feed requires available internet connection, nothing will happen if not. You can use internet_connection_checker library. It checks exactly if internet access is available.
Example
if(await InternetConnectionChecker().hasConnection) {
MdInstaFbShare.shareFBFeed(file.path);
}else{
<!--your actions-->
}
