Wallpaper Manager

A Flutter plugin for changing the Home Screen, Lock Screen (or both) Wallpaper(s) on Android devices.

Pub

Usage

Installation

In the pubspec.yaml of your flutter project, add the following dependency:

dependencies:
  ...
  wallpaper_manager: "^1.0.10"

In your library add the following import:

import 'package:wallpaper_manager/wallpaper_manager.dart';

Example

Basic Usage

Since this is not a Widget, you have to create WallpaperManager constructors from inside an async function, which is a Future that returns a String output specifying success/failure.

String path = "/path/to/file/on/disk";
int location = WallpaperManager.HOME_SCREEN; // or location = WallpaperManager.LOCK_SCREEN;
final String result = await WallpaperManager.setWallpaperFromFile(path, location);

Basic Usage with error handling

You might want to wrap it in a try/catch since platform messages (plug-ins like these) may fail

String path = "/path/to/file/on/disk";
int location = WallpaperManager.HOME_SCREEN; // or location = WallpaperManager.LOCK_SCREEN;
String result;
try {
  result = await WallpaperManager.setWallpaperFromFile(path, location);
} on PlatformException {
  result = 'Failed to get wallpaper.';
}

Loading from a URL (with CacheManager, the image is saved to app files as well)

If you're loading a Wallpaper from a URL, you should save it to the disk first, then use the path of the saved image file. Add flutter_cache_manager or any other dependency you'd like:

dependencies:
  ...
  flutter_cache_manager: "^1.1.3"

And in dart code

String url = "";
int location = WallpaperManager.HOME_SCREEN; // or location = WallpaperManager.LOCK_SCREEN;
String result;
var file = await DefaultCacheManager().getSingleFile(url);
final String result = await WallpaperManager.setWallpaperFromFile(file.path, location);

Loading from a Flutter asset

If you're loading a Wallpaper from an asset, you need to make sure it is indexed in the pubspec.yaml file first

dependencies:
  ...
  flutter:
    ...
    assets:
    - assets/tmp1.jpeg

And in dart code

String assetPath = "assets/tmp1.jpg";
int location = WallpaperManager.HOME_SCREEN; // or location = WallpaperManager.LOCK_SCREEN;
String result;
final String result = await WallpaperManager.setWallpaperFromAsset(assetPath, location);

Notes

  • iOS does not support changing Wallpapers from third-party apps (Source)
  • Xiaomi/MIUI does not support changing Lock Screen Wallpapers directly from the Android API (Source). You might want to look at creating a Lock Screen Launcher app instead.

Known Issues

Todos

  • Write tests
  • Add rect values for optionally cropping the image
  • Add variable for re-using Wallpaper from phone's settings
  • Write more tests
