Error: downloads_path_provider in flutter

Question

I m using This package to get download path in android which work well. By using this Package I get /storage/emulated/0/Download which I want.

Problem: When I ran flutter run --release it throws an error.

Launching lib\main.dart on SM J700F in release mode...
Running Gradle task 'assembleRelease'...

The built failed likely due to AndroidX incompatibilities in a plugin. The tool is about to try using Jetfier to solve the incompatibility.

if This can't be solved then suggest being how to get this path /storage/emulated/0/Download or another way around.

Update: I just saw Repo of Downloads_path_provider which says

This plugin has lots of inconsistencies and should no longer be used. Feel free to fork and tweak it.

what should I use to get this path /storage/emulated/0/Download . Thanks.

Answer 1

instead use the ext_storage plugin:

ExtStorage.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(ExtStorage.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS);

I had the same issue and worked for me.

Answer 2

You have to use the official package provided by the flutter known as path_provide and use the getDownloadsDirectory() method to get the path.
