Add assets to your application.

Open your pubspec.yaml file, you will see a section commented out.

Uncomment the colored section

assets:
- images/a_dot_burr.jpeg
- images/a_dot_ham.jpeg

change to

assets:
- assets/
- assets/images/

In the root folder of your application, create an assets folder, inside the assets folder create another folder called images to hold all the images you going to use in the project. Check the highlighted folder for the assets folder.

/// project structure
assets
images

set image as background

decoration: BoxDecoration(
image: DecorationImage(
image: AssetImage('assets/images/world.jpg'),
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),

Add image from url

Image.network(
url,
height: 200,
),

Example

body: Center(
child: Image.network(
'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1451187580459-43490279c0fa?ixid=MnwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHx8&ixlib=rb-1.2.1&auto=format&fit=crop&w=1352&q=80',
height: 200,
),
)
