I'm currently using an AnimatedList in my Flutter app and having problems with the way removed list items are animated out. The animation itself works as expected but once the removed item finishes animating, it just disappears causing the other widgets to jump into its place. I had expected the other items to transition into the place of the removed item ...
I tried wrapping my list items with a ScaleTransition but that didn't help - the other list items still do not react to the removed item until it has finished the animation.
This kind of defies the purpose of AnimatedList, right? Or did I do something wrong? The "Widget of the week" video about AnimatedList clearly shows that list items react to newly inserted items by changing their position ...
Here is my code:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return AnimatedList(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: REGULAR_DIM,
bottom: REGULAR_DIM + kBottomNavigationBarHeight),
initialItemCount: data.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index, animation) {
return MyCustomWidget(
data: data[index],
animation: animation,
disabled: false
);
},
);
}
class MyCustomWidget extends AnimatedWidget {
final MyModel data;
final bool disabled;
MyCustomWidget({
#required this.data,
#required Animation<double> animation,
this.disabled = false
}) : super(listenable: animation);
Animation<double> get animation => listenable;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final content = ... ;
return ScaleTransition(
scale: CurvedAnimation(
parent: animation,
curve: Interval(0, 0.25)
).drive(Tween(begin: 0, end: 1)),
child: FadeTransition(
opacity: animation,
child: SlideTransition(
position: animation.drive(
Tween(begin: Offset(-1, 0), end: Offset(0, 0))
.chain(CurveTween(curve: Curves.easeOutCubic))),
child: content,
),
),
);
}
}
And then somewhere in the MyCustomWidget I invoke this function:
void _remove(BuildContext context) async {
final animatedList = AnimatedList.of(context);
// obtain myModel asynchronously
myModel.removeData(data);
animatedList.removeItem(index, (context, animation) => MyCustomWidget(
data: data,
animation: animation,
disabled: true,
), duration: Duration(milliseconds: 350));
}
The key is to trigger two Transitions one SlideTranstion() and another SizeTransition to eliminate to jump when the item is removed
here is some sample code
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Update AnimatedList data')),
body: BodyWidget(),
),
);
}
}
class BodyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
#override
BodyWidgetState createState() {
return new BodyWidgetState();
}
}
class BodyWidgetState extends State<BodyWidget>
with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
// the GlobalKey is needed to animate the list
final GlobalKey<AnimatedListState> _listKey = GlobalKey(); // backing data
List<String> _data = ['Horse', 'Cow', 'Camel', 'Sheep', 'Goat'];
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Column(
children: <Widget>[
SizedBox(
height: 400,
child: AnimatedList(
key: _listKey,
initialItemCount: _data.length,
itemBuilder: (context, index, animation) {
return _buildItem(
_data[index],
animation,
);
},
),
),
RaisedButton(
child: Text(
'Insert single item',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
),
onPressed: () {
_onButtonPress();
},
),
RaisedButton(
child: Text(
'Remove single item',
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
),
onPressed: () {
_removeSingleItems();
},
),
],
);
}
Widget _buildItem(String item, Animation<double> animation, {direction: 0}) {
return (direction == 0)
? SizeTransition(
sizeFactor: animation,
child: Card(
color: Colors.amber,
child: ListTile(

),
),
),
)
: Stack(

.drive(Tween(begin: Offset(-1, 0), end: Offset(0, 0))),
child: Card(
color: Colors.red,
child: ListTile(
title: Text(

),
),
),
),
],
);
}
void _onButtonPress() {
_insertSingleItem();
}
void _insertSingleItem() {
String item = "Pig";
int insertIndex = 2;
_data.insert(insertIndex, item);
_listKey.currentState.insertItem(insertIndex);
}
void _removeSingleItems() {
int removeIndex = 2;
String removedItem = _data.removeAt(removeIndex);
// This builder is just so that the animation has something
// to work with before it disappears from view since the
// original has already been deleted.
AnimatedListRemovedItemBuilder builder = (context, animation) {
// A method to build the Card widget.
return _buildItem(removedItem, animation, direction: 1);
};
_listKey.currentState.removeItem(removeIndex, builder);
}
void _updateSingleItem() {
final newValue = 'I like sheep';
final index = 3;
setState(() {
_data[index] = newValue;
});
}
}
enter code here
You need to test the performance with the release version of your app.
class pin extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_PinState createState() => _PinState();
}
class _PinState extends State<pin> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
AnimationController _controller;
Animation<double> _animation;
bool error = false;
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
this._controller = AnimationController(
duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 1000), vsync: this);
this._animation =
Tween(begin: 0.0, end: 1.0).animate(CurvedAnimation(
parent: _controller,
curve: Curves.easeIn,
));
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
if(this.error) {
this.error = false;
_controller.forward();
}
return Container(
child: if (this.error)
Container(
child: FadeTransition(
opacity: _animation,
child: Column(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
children: <Widget>[
Padding(
padding: const EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
child: Image.asset("assets/images/sad_face.png"),
),
],
),
),
),
),
}
}
In the above code FadeTransition() widget is animated when the app is first launched.
and the visibility of FadeTransition() is toggled by the error variable.
but when next time the FadeTransition() widget is visible it is not animated?
what is missing, when toggling FadeTransition() the widget should be animated every time it appears!
the error variable is set from outside using Providers and wherever the error is changed the widget is rebuilt, so no need to use setState()
One thing I noticed is error is always false. There is no code to turn it to true and there are two places where it would be set to false. One of them dependent on if it is true (which it will never be since error = true doesn't exist)
That being said, if you want to make your animation run again, where ever you are toggling this property (usually in a button's onTap method) you have to call setState.
In the setState you can either use
controller.forward(from: 0);
// or
controller.reset(); // stops the animation if in progress
controller.forward();
i have a screen that build using MaterialApp, DefaultTabController, Scaffold and TabBarView.
in this screen, i have body content that retreive a list of element from sqllite using StreamBuilder. i get exact 100 elements ("finite list") to be shown using ListView.
my question, using ListView.builder, How we can jump to certain index when this screen opened ?

i have tried find other solutions but seems not working, for example indexed_list_view that only support infinite list
and it seems flutter still not have feature for this, see this issue
Any Idea ?
You can use https://pub.dev/packages/scrollable_positioned_list. You can pass the initial index to the widget.
ScrollablePositionedList.builder(
initialScrollIndex: 12, //you can pass the desired index here//
itemCount: 500,
itemBuilder: (context, index) => Text('Item $index'),
itemScrollController: itemScrollController,
itemPositionsListener: itemPositionsListener,
);
General Solution:
To store anything which can be represented as a number/string/list of strings, Flutter provides a powerful easy-to-use plugin which stores the values needed to be stored along with a key. So the next time you need you'll need to retrieve or even update that value all that you'll need is that key.
To get started, add the shared_preferences plugin to the pubspec.yaml file,
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
shared_preferences: "<newest version>"
Run flutter pub get from the terminal or if your using IntelliJ just click on Packages get(You'll find it somewhere around the top-right corner of your screen while viewing the pubspec.yaml file)
Once the above command is successfully executed, import the below file in your main.dart or concerned file.
import 'package:shared_preferences/shared_preferences.dart';
Now just attach a ScrollController to your ListView.builder() widget and make sure that the final/last offset is stored along with a specific key using shared_preferences whenever the user leaves the app in any way and is set when the initState of your concerned widget is called.
In order to know to detect changes in the state of our app and to act with accordance to it, we'll be inheriting WidgetsBindingObserver to our class.
Steps to follow:
Extend the WidgetsBindingObserver class along with the State class of your StatefulWidget.
Define a async function resumeController() as a function member of the above class.
Future<void> resumeController() async{
_sharedPreferences = await SharedPreferences.getInstance().then((_sharedPreferences){
if(_sharedPreferences.getKeys().contains("scroll-offset-0")) _scrollController= ScrollController(initialScrollOffset:_sharedPreferences.getDouble("scroll-offset-0"));
else _sharedPreferences.setDouble("scroll-offset-0", 0);
setState((){});
return _sharedPreferences;
});
Declare two variables one to store and pass the scrollcontroller and the other to store and use the instance of SharedPreferences.
ScrollController _scrollController;
SharedPreferences _sharedPreferences;
Call resumeController() and pass your class to the addObserver method of the instance object in WidgetsBinding class.
resumeController();
WidgetsBinding.instance.addObserver(this);
Simply paste this code in the class definition (outside other member functions)
#override
void dispose() {
WidgetsBinding.instance.removeObserver(this);
_scrollController.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
#override
void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) {
if(state==AppLifecycleState.paused || state==AppLifecycleState.inactive || state==AppLifecycleState.suspending)
_sharedPreferences.setDouble("scroll-offset-0", _scrollController.offset);
super.didChangeAppLifecycleState(state);
}
Pass the ScrollController() to the concerned Scrollable.
Working Example:
class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyWidgetState createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}
class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> with WidgetsBindingObserver{
//[...]
ScrollController _scrollController;
SharedPreferences _sharedPreferences;
Future<void> resumeController() async{
_sharedPreferences = await SharedPreferences.getInstance().then((_sharedPreferences){
if(_sharedPreferences.getKeys().contains("scroll-offset-0")) _scrollController= ScrollController(initialScrollOffset:_sharedPreferences.getDouble("scroll-offset-0"));
else _sharedPreferences.setDouble("scroll-offset-0", 0);
setState((){});
return _sharedPreferences;
});
}
#override
void initState() {
resumeController();
WidgetsBinding.instance.addObserver(this);
super.initState();
}
#override
void dispose() {
WidgetsBinding.instance.removeObserver(this);
_scrollController.dispose();
super.dispose();
}
#override
void didChangeAppLifecycleState(AppLifecycleState state) {
if(state==AppLifecycleState.paused || state==AppLifecycleState.inactive || state==AppLifecycleState.suspending)
_sharedPreferences.setDouble("scroll-offset-0", _scrollController.offset);
super.didChangeAppLifecycleState(state);
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
home: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Smart Scroll View"),
),
body: ListView.builder(
itemCount: 50,
controller: _scrollController,
itemBuilder: (c,i)=>
Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 24,vertical: 16),
child: Text((i+1).toString()),
),
),
),
);
}
}
Solution without knowing the size of your widgets
the Solution I found without knowing the size of your widget is displaying a reverse 'sublist' from the index to the end, then scroll to the top of your 'sublist' and reset the entire list. As it is a reverse list the item will be add at the top of the list and you will stay at your position (the index).
the problem is that you can't use a listView.builder because you will need to change the size of the list
example
class _ListViewIndexState extends State<ListViewIndex> {
ScrollController _scrollController;
List<Widget> _displayedList;
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
_scrollController = ScrollController();
_displayedList = widget.items.sublist(0, widget.items.length - widget.index);
if (SchedulerBinding.instance.schedulerPhase == SchedulerPhase.persistentCallbacks) {
SchedulerBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) {
//here the sublist is already build
completeList();
});
}
}
completeList() {
//to go to the last item(in first position)
_scrollController.jumpTo(_scrollController.position.maxScrollExtent);
//reset the list to the full list
setState(() {
_displayedList = widget.items;
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Stack(
children: <Widget>[
ListView(
controller: _scrollController,
reverse: true,
children: _displayedList,
),
]
);
}
}
The https://pub.dev/packages/indexed_list_view package could maybe help you out for this. Use something like this:
IndexedListView.builder(
controller: indexScrollController,
itemBuilder: itemBuilder
);
indexScrollController.jumpToIndex(10000);
I'll present another approach, which supports list lazy loading unlike #Shinbly 's method, and also support tiles in list to resize without recalculating the correct offset of the ListView nor saving any persistent information like "#Nephew of Stackoverflow" does.
The essential key to this approach is to utilize CustomScrollView, the CustomScrollView.center property.
Here's an example based on the example code from Flutter document (widgets.CustomScrollView.2):
class _MyStatefulWidgetState extends State<MyStatefulWidget> {
List<int> top = [];
List<int> bottom = [0];
List<int> test = List.generate(10, (i) => -5 + i);
bool positionSwitcher = true;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
positionSwitcher = !positionSwitcher;
final jumpIndex = positionSwitcher ? 1 : 9;
Key centerKey = ValueKey('bottom-sliver-list');
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('Press Jump!! to jump between'),
leading: IconButton(
icon: const Icon(Icons.add),
onPressed: () {
setState(() {
top.add(-top.length - 1);
bottom.add(bottom.length);
});
},
),
),
body: Column(
children: [
Row(
mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceBetween,
children: [
RaisedButton(
child: Text('Jump!!'),
onPressed: () => setState(() {}),
),
Text(positionSwitcher ? 'At top' : 'At bottom'),
],
),
Expanded(
child: CustomScrollView(
center: centerKey,
slivers: <Widget>[
SliverList(
delegate: SliverChildBuilderDelegate(
(BuildContext context, int i) {
final index = jumpIndex - 1 - i;
return Container(
alignment: Alignment.center,
color: Colors.blue[200 + test[index] % 4 * 100],
height: 100 + test[index] % 4 * 20.0,
child: Text('Item: ${test[index]}'),
);
},
childCount: jumpIndex,
),
),
SliverList(
key: centerKey,
delegate: SliverChildBuilderDelegate(
(BuildContext context, int i) {
final index = i + jumpIndex;
return Container(
alignment: Alignment.center,
color: i == 0
? Colors.red
: Colors.blue[200 + test[index] % 4 * 100],
height: 100 + test[index] % 4 * 20.0,
child: Text('Item: ${test[index]}'),
);
},
childCount: test.length - jumpIndex,
),
),
],
),
)
],
),
);
}
}
Explanation:
We use single list as data source for both SliverList
During each rebuild, we use center key to reposition the second SliverList inside ViewPort
Carefully manage the conversion from SliverList index to data source list index
Notice how the scroll view build the first SliverList by passing an index starting from bottom of this SliverList (i.e. index 0 suggests last item in the first list sliver)
Give the CustomeScrollView a proper key to decide whether to "re-position" or not
Working Example:
import 'dart:math';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:scroll_to_index/scroll_to_index.dart';
class ScrollToIndexDemo extends StatefulWidget {
const ScrollToIndexDemo({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
#override
_ScrollToIndexDemoState createState() => _ScrollToIndexDemoState();
}
class _ScrollToIndexDemoState extends State<ScrollToIndexDemo> {
late AutoScrollController controller = AutoScrollController();
var rng = Random();
ValueNotifier<int> scrollIndex = ValueNotifier(0);
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: ValueListenableBuilder(
valueListenable: scrollIndex,
builder: (context, index, child) {
return Text('Scroll Demo - $index');
},
),
),
body: ListView.builder(
itemCount: 100,
controller: controller,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
return Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(8),
child: AutoScrollTag(
key: ValueKey(index),
controller: controller,
index: index,
highlightColor: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.1),
child: Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
alignment: Alignment.center,
color: Colors.grey[300],
height: 100,
child: Text(
'index: $index',
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black),
),
),
),
);
},
),
floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
onPressed: () async {
scrollIndex.value = rng.nextInt(100);
await controller.scrollToIndex(scrollIndex.value, preferPosition: AutoScrollPosition.begin);
},
tooltip: 'Increment',
child: Center(
child: Text(
'Next',
textAlign: TextAlign.center,
),
),
),
);
}
}
You can use the flutter_scrollview_observer lib to implement your desired functionality without invasivity
Create and use instance of ScrollController normally.
ScrollController scrollController = ScrollController();
ListView _buildListView() {
return ListView.builder(
controller: scrollController,
...
);
}
Create an instance of ListObserverController pass it to ListViewObserver
ListObserverController observerController = ListObserverController(controller: scrollController);
ListViewObserver(
controller: observerController,
child: _buildListView(),
...
)
Now you can scroll to the specified index position
// Jump to the specified index position without animation.
observerController.jumpTo(index: 1)
// Jump to the specified index position with animation.
observerController.animateTo(
index: 1,
duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 250),
curve: Curves.ease,
);
I want to animate my container height after launching the application (after the widget tree is rendered and shown on screen). For example, animate height from 86 to 210.
What I have tried:
class MyAppState extends State<HomePage> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
double appBarHeight = 86.0;
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
WidgetsBinding.instance
.addPostFrameCallback((_) => animate());
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: Stack(
children: <Widget>[
AnimatedContainer(
curve: Curves.fastOutSlowIn,
child: Container(
color: Colors.red,
),
height: appBarHeight,
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 400),
),
Align(
alignment: Alignment.bottomRight,
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(right: 16.0, bottom: 16.0),
child: FloatingActionButton(
child: Icon(Icons.brush),
onPressed: () {
animate();
},
),
))
],
),
);
}
void animate(){
setState(() {
if (appBarHeight == 210.0) appBarHeight = 86.0;
else appBarHeight = 210.0;
});
}
}
But it does not work, because widget is animated before appearing on screen. I see white screen while app is launching and then my widget appears on screen with a final height.
In Android for this purpose we can use addOnLayoutChangeListener().
Is there an analogue of addOnLayoutChangeListener() in Flatter?
As you mentioned, looks like it's an issue on Android, I tested on iOS and the animation runs at the beginning.
You can try this workaround :
_startAnimation(_) async {
await Future.delayed(Duration(milliseconds: 200));
animate();
}
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback(_startAnimation);
}
