[Flutter] How to load images with image.file

I can't seem to simply load an image from the hard drive to the screen. Image.network seems straightforward. But I can't figure out how to use Image or Image.file. Image seems to require a stream, so I don't think that is what I am looking for.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:io';

void main() => runApp(new MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
File file = new File("Someimage.jpeg");
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
home: new Image.file(file), //doesn't work, but no errors
);
}
}


I added Someimage to the pubspec.yaml file, but that doesn't work either:

assets:
- Someimage.jpeg


Can someone give me an example of how this is done? Thanks.
