# open save file dialog
A Flutter plugin for opening and saving files on Android, using native file chooser.
### Dialogs
#### Select a file for saving
Call the async method `saveFileDialog`, where you pass a String for the new file content, and you can pass a String for the named parameter `startingFileName` if you want.
Throws an exception if the content could not be saved.
You get the saved file name as a String(you could get another name if the selected name is already taken by another file and you don't select it for rewriting), or null if no file was selected.
```dart
import 'package:open_save_file_dialogs/open_save_file_dialogs.dart';
...
final _openSaveFileDialogsPlugin = OpenSaveFileDialogs();
...
final newFileName = await _openSaveFileDialogsPlugin.saveFileDialog(content: myTextContent, startingFileName: "test.txt");
```
#### Select a file for opening
Call the async method `openFileDialog`.
You get the selected file content as a String, or null if no file was selected.
Throws an exception if the content could not be read.
```dart
import 'package:open_save_file_dialogs/open_save_file_dialogs.dart';
...
final _openSaveFileDialogsPlugin = OpenSaveFileDialogs();
...
final path = await _openSaveFileDialogsPlugin.openFileDialog();
```
