Answer 1

The Gradle failure may have been because of AndroidX incompatibilities in this Flutter app.

As mentioned in your trace, this error is because of AndroidX incompatibilities in your app. The image_picker plugin migrated to the latest AndroidX support libraries from version 0.5.0 .

For your app to work, you can either migrate your app to AndroidX , or if your app depends on any other package which has not been migrated to AndroidX yet, you can lock your image_picker plugin version to 0.4.12+1 , which uses the older support libraries.

Add this to your pubspec.yaml to use specific version of this plugin -

image_picker: 0.4.12+1

More about this here .

UPDATE

You can check this answer for an explanation about why migrate to AndroidX. Also, this official blog explains everything regarding AndroidX.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You need to migrate to AndroidX for that particular version of the library to work. Follow the steps in this link to go ahead with the migration.

Answer 3

File _image;   

 final images=ImagePicker();
Future getImage()async {    
var Image=await images.getImage(source: ImageSource.camera); 
 setState(() {   
   _image=File(Image.path); 
});   } 

and when you want to Use the _image which stored the image path:

  Container( 
 height: 180, 
 width: 180,
     child: ClipRRect(child: _image==null?Center(child: Text('Please Upload a pic'),):Image.file(_image,fit: BoxFit.fill,),),

when you initially run the program the _image variable is not containing the image path actually the path is empty or null and the error appears so do _image==null?Center(child: Text('Please Upload a pic'),): it tells flutter if the path is null and not chossed show my manual message you will see Please upload a pic in the container when you choose the image the File(Image.path); will generate an appropriate path and your pic will appear, thankyou,
