Flutter - Webview with dropdown in the appbar - drop-down-menu

I am trying to have a dropdown menu in a screen rendered by this webview library. The problem is that the rect drawn by this webview overlaps everything, as the picture below shows:
return new WebviewScaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
title: new Theme(
child: new DropdownButton(
isExpanded: true,
items: <String>['Foo', 'Bar'].map((String value) {
return new DropdownMenuItem<String>(
value: value,
child: new Text(
value,
overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
),
);
}).toList(),
onChanged: (_) {}),
data: new ThemeData.dark(),
),
url: new Uri.dataFromString("<h1>test</h1> <p>this is a test</p>",
mimeType: 'text/html',
parameters: {'charset': 'utf-8'}).toString(),
);
});
Then, I went further and I did this :
final flutterWebviewPlugin = new FlutterWebviewPlugin();
String url = "https://www.google.com";
double _height = 100.0;
GlobalKey _keyRed = GlobalKey();
Rect rect;
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
flutterWebviewPlugin.launch(url, rect: rect);
}
void handlepress() {
setState(() {
RenderBox renderBoxRed = _keyRed.currentContext.findRenderObject();
_height = renderBoxRed.size.height;
print("height $_height");
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
final mediaQuery = MediaQuery.of(context);
rect = new Rect.fromLTWH(
0.0, _height, mediaQuery.size.width, mediaQuery.size.height);
flutterWebviewPlugin.resize(rect);
return new AppBar(
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
title: new Theme(
child: new drop.DropdownButton(
key: _keyRed,
handler: handlepress,
isExpanded: true,
items: <String>['Foo', 'Bar'].map((String value) {
return new drop.DropdownMenuItem<String>(
value: value,
child: new Text(
value,
overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis,
),
);
}).toList(),
onChanged: (_) => handlepress()),
data: new ThemeData.dark(),
),
leading: new IconButton(
icon: new Icon(
Icons.keyboard_arrow_left,
color: Colors.black,
size: 40.0,
),
onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(),
),
elevation: 0.0,
);
}
With this second code, drop.DropdownButton is my class that override DropDownButton in order to pass my Callback to onTap (click on the header of the dropdown). This code has effects on the rect rendered by the webview, but still do not work properly.
I also tried to hide the rect when the dropdown menu is extended, then show it again when it is collapsed. But there is not way I could find to detect these events.

In your build method, you already have a boolean _smsCodeDisabled to identify whether the otp field need to show or not. You can use the same boolean to hide the login field and button. The logic should be something like:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return _smsCodeDisabled ? _getLoginWidget() : _getOtpWidget();
}
Widget _getLoginWidget() {
// Return Login field and button
}
Widget _getOtpWidget() {
// Return otp field and button
}
Or If you need to only hide the login button, use the following logic:
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
// other code
// Login button logic
_smsCodeDisabled ? RaisedButton(...) : Container();
);
}

Flutter AnimatedList still janky?

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,

}
}
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(
title: Text(
item,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
),
),
),
)
: Stack(

color: Colors.transparent,
child: ListTile(
title: Text(
item,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
),
),
),
),
Align(
alignment: Alignment.topCenter,
heightFactor: 0,
child: SlideTransition(
position: animation
.drive(Tween(begin: Offset(-1, 0), end: Offset(0, 0))),
child: Card(
color: Colors.red,
child: ListTile(
title: Text(
item,
style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20),
),
),
),
),
),
],
);
}
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;
});
}
}

Flutter: How to put button on each image like (x) to cancel selected image

I am using multi_image_picker 4.6.1 in my application but I faced little problem. How to organize images on specific place on the page and put cancel button on each selected image so user can cancel or remove selected image one by one like in picture here. Thanks in advance
here is the code i am using
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:async';
import 'package:multi_image_picker/multi_image_picker.dart';
void main() => runApp(new MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_MyAppState createState() => new _MyAppState();
}
class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
List<Asset> images = List<Asset>();
String _error = 'No Error Dectected';
#override
void initState() {
super.initState();
}
Widget buildGridView() {
return GridView.count(
crossAxisCount: 3,
children: List.generate(images.length, (index) {
Asset asset = images[index];
return AssetThumb(
asset: asset,
width: 300,
height: 300,
);
}),
);
}
Future<void> loadAssets() async {
List<Asset> resultList = List<Asset>();
String error = 'No Error Dectected';
try {
resultList = await MultiImagePicker.pickImages(
maxImages: 300,
enableCamera: true,
selectedAssets: images,
cupertinoOptions: CupertinoOptions(takePhotoIcon: "chat"),
materialOptions: MaterialOptions(
actionBarColor: "#abcdef",
actionBarTitle: "Example App",
allViewTitle: "All Photos",
useDetailsView: false,
selectCircleStrokeColor: "#000000",
),
);
} on Exception catch (e) {
error = e.toString();
}
// If the widget was removed from the tree while the asynchronous platform
// message was in flight, we want to discard the reply rather than calling
// setState to update our non-existent appearance.
if (!mounted) return;
setState(() {
images = resultList;
_error = error;
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
home: new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title: const Text('Plugin example app'),
),
body: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Center(child: Text('Error: $_error')),
RaisedButton(
child: Text("Pick images"),
onPressed: loadAssets,
),
Expanded(
child: buildGridView(),
)
],
),
),
);
}
}
Another way to fix using Stack
Stack(
children: <Widget>[
AssetThumb(
asset: asset,
width: 300,
height: 300,
),
Positioned(
right: -2,
top: -9,
child: IconButton(
icon: Icon(
Icons.cancel,
color: Colors.black.withOpacity(0.5),
size: 18,
),
onPressed: () => setState(() {
images.removeAt(index);
})))
],
);
You can try using Stack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liEGSeD3Zt8&vl=en
return Stack(
children: <Widget>[
AssetThumb(
asset: asset,
width: 300,
height: 300,
),
Positioned(
top: 0,
right: 0,
child: GestureDetector(
onTap: (){
print('delete image from List');
setState((){
print('set new state of images');
})
},
child: Icon(
Icons.delete,
),
),
),
],
);

}
}
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,
);

How should I customize DropdownButtons and DropdownMenuItems in Flutter?

The default DropdownButton with DropdownMenuItems returns a light-grey dropdown. How should I customize the dropdown (e.g. background color, dropdown width)? I can change the style property in both DropdownButton and DropdownMenuItem, like this:
return new DropdownButton(
value: ...,
items: ...,
onChanged: ...,
style: new TextStyle(
color: Colors.white,
),
);
but this doesn't change the dropdown's background color.
Should I copy DropdownMenu and extend it? Does Flutter plan to add customization for this widget in the near future?
You can accomplish this by wrapping the DropdownButton in a Theme widget and overriding the canvasColor.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() {
runApp(new MyApp());
}
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new MaterialApp(
home: new MyHomePage(),
);
}
}
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
State createState() => new MyHomePageState();
}
class MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
int _value = 42;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
body: new Center(
child: new Theme(
data: Theme.of(context).copyWith(
canvasColor: Colors.blue.shade200,
),
child: new DropdownButton(
value: _value,
items: <DropdownMenuItem<int>>[
new DropdownMenuItem(
child: new Text('Foo'),
value: 0,
),
new DropdownMenuItem(
child: new Text('Bar'),
value: 42,
),
],
onChanged: (int value) {
setState(() {
_value = value;
});
},
),
),
),
);
}
}
I was able to change the background for the Dropdown by wrapping it in a Container with the color property set.
Before:
After:
Here's the code:
Define these values in the widget state:
final items = ['One', 'Two', 'Three', 'Four'];
String selectedValue = 'Four';
then use this code
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 10, vertical: 5),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.white, borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10)),
// dropdown below..
child: DropdownButton<String>(
value: selectedValue,
onChanged: (String newValue) =>
setState(() => selectedValue = newValue),
items: items
.map<DropdownMenuItem<String>>(
(String value) => DropdownMenuItem<String>(
value: value,
child: Text(value),
))
.toList(),
// add extra sugar..
icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_drop_down),
iconSize: 42,
underline: SizedBox(),
),
);
As Collin said, your DropdownMenuItem will follow your ThemeData class. Not only its backgroundColor will match the canvasColor in your ThemeData class, but also it will follow the same TextStyle.
So, for a quick example:
new ThemeData(
fontFamily: "Encode Sans", //my custom font
canvasColor: _turquoise, //my custom color
//other theme data)
Furthermore, if you want to control the width of the menu, you can feed its child property a new Container and add the desired width, check the following GIF, I started with width: 100.0 then hot reloaded after changing it to 200.0, notice how the width was manipulated, just make sure you use a suitable width so that you do not get overflow problems later on when you use the menu within a more complex layout.
class TestPage extends StatelessWidget {
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
appBar: new AppBar(
title:new Text ("Test"),
),
body: new Center(
child: new DropdownButton(items: new List.generate(20, (int index){
return new DropdownMenuItem(child: new Container(
child: new Text ("Item#$index"),
width: 200.0, //200.0 to 100.0
));
})
, onChanged: null)
),
);
}
}
If you want the DropdownButton to fill the space that it is in, use the property isExpanded and set it to true
DropdownButton<String>(
isExpanded: true,
)
You can do something very simple in the latest version of Flutter.
The DropdownButton class has an inbuilt variable called 'dropdownColor' which can be assigned any color you need directly, without changing any 'ThemeData'. Automatically changes the color of the dropdown menu items as well.
Use this for color
DropdownButtonFormField(
items: null,
onChanged: null,
dropdownColor: Colors.red,
),
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/DropdownButton/style.html will help you to figure out some stylings.
DropdownButton(
dropdownColor: Colors.grey,
value: this.repeatType,
onChanged: (String? value) {
print(value);
setState(() {
this.repeatType = value!;
});
},
selectedItemBuilder: (BuildContext context) {
return this.repeatTypes.map((String value) {
return Text(
this.repeatType,
style: const TextStyle(color: Colors.white),
);
}).toList();
},
items: this
.repeatTypes
.map((item) => DropdownMenuItem(
child: Text(
item,
style: TextStyle(color: Colors.green),
),
value: item,
))
.toList())
You can wrap it with container like this:
Container(
margin: const EdgeInsets.all(15.0),
padding: const EdgeInsets.only(left: 10.0, right: 10.0),
decoration: BoxDecoration(
color: Colors.white,
border: Border.all(color: Colors.white)
),
child: DropdownButton(
dropdownColor: Colors.white,
style: TextStyle(
color: Colors.black,
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
),
value: 'ar',
items: [
DropdownMenuItem(child: Text('English'), value: 'en'),
DropdownMenuItem(child: Text('العربية'), value: 'ar'),
],
),
)
The output:
It's so simple now,
Just use the dropdownColor property inside the DropdownButton widget like this:
DropdownButton(
dropdownColor: Colors.red, // here you change the background color
value: 'Your value',
items: [ ],
)
you can use the dropdown_button2 package.
You can use the dropdownDecoration property to customize the dropdown menu appearance. This is the best package I found to fully customize a DropdownButton
