I've been doing some research for an upcoming project and would like to render the camera view behind a custom shape/semi-transparent img to act as a guide when taking pictures.
Does anyone know of a flutter camera plugin or tutorial that explains how to do this?
You can use the camera Plugin for flutter by the Flutter team.
https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/camera
and then position your image and you cameraview in a Stack Widget like this:
return new Stack(
alignment: FractionalOffset.center,
children: <Widget>[
new Positioned.fill(
child: new AspectRatio(
aspectRatio: controller.value.aspectRatio,
child: new CameraPreview(controller)),
),
new Positioned.fill(
child: new Opacity(
opacity: 0.3,
child: new Image.network(
'https://picsum.photos/3000/4000',
fit: BoxFit.fill,
),
),
),
],
);
Please visit this repo. This example uses the camera plugin.
new AspectRatio(
aspectRatio: controller.value.aspectRatio,
child: Container(
child: Stack(
children: <Widget>[
CameraPreview(controller),
Align(
alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
child: Container(
width: double.infinity,
height: 120.0,
padding: EdgeInsets.all(20.0),
color: Color.fromRGBO(00, 00, 00, 0.7),
child: Stack(
children: <Widget>[
Align(
alignment: Alignment.center,
child: Material(
color: Colors.transparent,
child: InkWell(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(50.0)),
onTap: () {
_captureImage();
},
child: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
child: Image.asset(
'assets/images/ic_shutter_1.png',
width: 72.0,
height: 72.0,
),
),
),
),
),
Align(
alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
child: Material(
color: Colors.transparent,
child: InkWell(
borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(Radius.circular(50.0)),
onTap: () {
if (!_toggleCamera) {
onCameraSelected(widget.cameras[1]);
setState(() {
_toggleCamera = true;
});
} else {
onCameraSelected(widget.cameras[0]);
setState(() {
_toggleCamera = false;
});
}
},
child: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(4.0),
child: Image.asset(
'assets/images/ic_switch_camera_3.png',
color: Colors.grey[200],
width: 42.0,
height: 42.0,
),
),
),
),
),
],
),
),
),
],
),
),
);
.
You can also now use this plugin : CamerAwesome
Official plugin has a ratio bug that makes overlay having bad ratio. This plugin includes flash, zoom, auto focus... and no initialisation required.
