FCPListItem does not support imageUrl

[vanlooverenkoen]

Current implementation to set an image to a listItem is using an asset

    if image != nil {
      listItem.setImage(UIImage().fromFlutterAsset(name: image!))
    }

It should be possible to also use a HTTPs link to an image so we don't need to ship every image in assets

Hi @vanlooverenkoen I was able to load list items with image url by doing the following.

1. Open the flutter iOS project in XCODE

2. Open the PODS->Development Pods->flutter_carplay

3. Open the preceding .. unto the last directory, you will find flutter_carplay->Classes->Models -> Lists

4. Navigate to FCPListItem.

5. Find the codes:

6. if image != nil { ...
   7.Replace with :
   ` if image != nil {
   if image!.starts(with: "http"){

        let url = URL(string: image!)
        let stationImage = try? UIImage(withURL: url!)
        
        listItem.setImage(stationImage)
    }else{
        listItem.setImage(UIImage().fromFlutterAsset(name: image!))
    }
   

   }`

7. Inside update, do the same.
   This will intercept all urls beginning with http with custom loader and those beginning with any other format as asset images.
   Thank you.

flutter: Warning database has been locked for 0:00:10.000000. Make sure you always use the transaction object for database operations during a transaction , After loading images from ulr i got this error and the mobile app ui freezes .
