Geolocation & Camera Plugins

Modern mobile apps often need to interact with device hardware like the camera or GPS. Flutter makes this easy using plugins.

Plugins are special packages that bridge Flutter (Dart) code with platform-specific (Android/iOS) native code. They let your app access device functionalities.

In this lesson, we'll integrate geolocation services and camera access into a Flutter app using popular, well-established plugins.

To get the device's location, we'll use the geolocator plugin. It provides a simple API to access GPS, Wi-Fi, and cellular data for location information.

First, add the geolocator dependency to your pubspec.yaml file:

Then run flutter pub get in your terminal.
