Image keyboard support #20796
Description
Activity
This came up internally as well as a question. Could we get a comment on the difficulty of this request? It feels like a fairly large one to be able to insert an image to Flutter via IME.
Reacted by Greg PriceIs there any known workarounds? This basically prevents using flutter in any app which has chat functionality for younger audience...

Please is there any update on this?
would be fine to at least have a custom callback for special content on TextField. Not necessary to implement full blown richtext editor ..

Most keyboards have some way to search for GIFs and chat is no fun without all those memes!
Reacted by Toni Wagner, Boehrsi, Robert Virkus, Khristian, Akshay H Mulky, moru0011, AxesandGrinds, Sebastian Roth, Jorge Menjivar, Victor and 9 moreI am also interested in a workaround. Not to be able to use images from the Android and iOS keyboards is a major constraint for any communication app.
Reacted by Khristian, Akshay H Mulky, florianhaar, moru0011, AxesandGrinds, Sebastian Roth, QuentinSc, Jorge Menjivar, Irfan, Edwin Liu and 2 moreI'm designing a chat app. Not having this feature just makes me feel like a fool for even attempting to use flutter for this app. And I have already gotten really far, I've developed most of the app, >70% and I can't send gifs or stickers, this is in fact evil of the flutter team.

Hi guys any solution on this yet? We are really waiting :)

Yes, you need a Linux or macOS system to compile the engine and use it on release mode. Unfortunately Windows cannot compile so you would be out of luck to make a release build.
Really looking forward to this.
Reacted by 4mitabhFrom new feature request scan: @justinmc @GaryQian What is the status of this issue? What is left after flutter-team-archive/engine#35619?
Reacted by 4mitabh and rainbunnyReally waiting for this
Reacted by 4mitabh and ThomasJust an update, with Flutter 3.7, the GIF insertion code is now in the stable engine! All that's left is the merge into the flutter SDK repo here. But this also makes it much easier to manually implement the GIF insertion stuff on the SDK side of things (at least until the PR is merged). No more need to build the engine yourself.
I'll share our merged 3.7 SDK code with GIF insertion here when we've completed the merge. Should be shortly.
Reacted by Matt Hicks, Greg Price and rainbunnyReacted by Sami and Greg PriceHere is the SDK with the GIF insertion code merged into it: https://github.com/BlueBubblesApp/flutter
To use it just follow these instructions:
cdinto your flutter repo code on your host (~/snap/flutter/commonif you're on Linux)- Run:
git remote add upstream [email protected]:BlueBubblesApp/flutter.git - Run:
git pull upstream master
And that should be it. Now you can use the custom GIF insertion code with your text fields by adding a new parameter, like so:
contentInsertionConfiguration: ContentInsertionConfiguration(onContentInserted: (KeyboardInsertedContent content) { # ... your code handling the content })Edit: keep in mind, this is technically not merged into the stable branch of flutter, so it's still subject to changes. That said, I think all the changes that Google has requested, we've fulfilled. So there shouldn't be anything major needing to be changed, and should be compatible with the SDK when it eventually does get merged in.
Also, to reset your flutter install (remove the GIF insertion code), just run
git reset --hard origin/stablein your repo.Reacted by Jonah Walker, Greg Price, 4mitabh and rainbunnyFYI to everyone, this has been merged into Flutter! Shout out to @tneotia for getting it done! #110052 (comment)
Reacted by Justin McCandless, Matt Hicks, Greg Price, 4mitabh, rainbunny, Social Jawn and Tushar SadhwaniWas really looking forward to this, nice to know it is now supported. Is the guidance to just use the master channel to use this feature for now until it is in the stable channel?
Yes, it's in 3.8.0-7.0.pre which is currently only available on master.
3. git pull upstream master
very very thank you. It worked. You really did me a favor.

It is possible to implement Commit Content API using Flutter's TextField or TextFormField or any widget?
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/text/image-keyboard
I am not sure convert this line
layout.addView(createEditTextWithContentMimeTypes(new String[]{"image/gif"}));
from this code example
