Converting base64 to image | Not working

So, I want to do a simple thing but for some reasons it is not working. I get a base64 string from the server which I need to convert to an image. When I put that retrieved in the websites like base64guru, it works. However I'm unable to do the same in my flutter app.

Here's what my code looks like:

final decodedBytes = base64Decode(base64String);
var file = File("userPdf.png");
file.writeAsBytesSync(decodedBytes);
return Image.file(file);

When this is executed, I get an error stating :

FileSystemException: Cannot open file, path = 'userPdf.png (OS Error: Read-only file system, errno = 30)

Any idea what I'm doing wrong and how I can do this ?? Any help would be appreciated.

There is a simple way

Image.memory(base64Decode(base64String));

Well, this got resolved when I wrapped SfPdfViewer.memory(bytes) inside a Container. Though, not sure why it wasn't working without a Container.

The whole solution:

Uint8List bytes = base64.decode(pdf);
return Container(
  child: SfPdfViewer.memory(bytes),
);
