bool hasPermission = await photoGallery.hasPermission();

// Request permission if not granted
if (!hasPermission) {
  hasPermission = await photoGallery.requestPermission();
}

Get All Albums

List<Album> albums = await photoGallery.getAlbums();

// Access album properties
for (var album in albums) {
  print('Album ID: ${album.id}');
  print('Album Name: ${album.name}');
  print('Media Count: ${album.count}');
  print('Media Type: ${album.type}'); // image or video
}

Get Media Files from an Album

// Get all images from an album
List<Media> images = await photoGallery.getMediaInAlbum(
  albumId,
  type: MediaType.image,
);

// Get all videos from an album
List<Media> videos = await photoGallery.getMediaInAlbum(
  albumId,
  type: MediaType.video,
);

// Access media properties
for (var media in images) {
  print('Media ID: ${media.id}');
  print('File Name: ${media.name}');
  print('Date Added: ${media.dateAdded}');
  print('Width: ${media.width}');
  print('Height: ${media.height}');
  
  // For videos only
  if (media is VideoMedia) {
    print('Duration: ${media.duration}');
  }
}

Generate Thumbnails

// Get thumbnail for an image
Thumbnail imageThumbnail = await photoGallery.getThumbnail(
  mediaId,
  type: MediaType.image,
);

Thumbnail videoThumbnail = await photoGallery.getThumbnail(
  mediaId,
  type: MediaType.video,
);

  final photoGallery = PhotoGalleryPro();
  
  // Request permissions

      print('Permission denied');
      return;
    }
  }

      type: MediaType.image,
    );
