Project description

api.video's Flutter uploader uploads videos to api.video using delegated upload token or API Key.

It allows you to upload videos in two ways:

• standard upload: to send a whole video file in one go
• progressive upload: to send a video file by chunks, without needing to know the final size of the video file

Getting started

Installation

Run the following command at the root of your project:

flutter pub add video_uploader

This will add the following lines to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  video_uploader: ^1.3.0

Android

Permissions

Permissions android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO (for API 33+) or android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (for API < 33) will be requested by this library at runtime.

The uploader comes with a notification to show the progress. So if your application targets Android 33+, you might request android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission at runtime.

When targeting Android API Level 34+, you must declare the service type in your application's manifest file. In your AndroidManifest.xml file, add the following lines in the <application> tag:

<service 
    android:name="androidx.work.impl.foreground.SystemForegroundService"
    android:exported="false" 
    android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync" />

Notifications

To customize the notification to your own brand, you can change the icon, color or channel name by overwriting the following resources in your own application resources:

• the icon: R.drawable.ic_upload_notification
• the color: R.color.upload_notification_color
• the channel name: R.string.upload_notification_channel_name

Code sample

import 'package:video_uploader/video_uploader.dart';

var video = await ApiVideoUploader.uploadWithUploadToken("YOUR_UPLOAD_TOKEN", "path/to/my-video.mp4");
