Question

I want to get image base64 from cahcedNetworkImageProvider widget without redownload it to share it in my App. or if there's a way to share image as a URL and could be saved to the device in flutter

Answer 1

used flutter_cache_manager plugin to get cached data through this function

  var file = await DefaultCacheManager().getSingleFile(url);

and works fine for cached images and if URL is new will download it then get back with file object
