How to make a container 'lighten' on hold / on tap in Flutter? - flutter

Question

I am trying to create an app with a scroll view and the objects are clickable like the google news app. Can anyone answer how to animate the container to have a white glow on holding the tile?
Here is the list view builder I have for the app
Container(
padding: EdgeInsets.only(top: 16),
child: ListView.builder(
physics: ClampingScrollPhysics(),
itemCount: article.length,
scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
shrinkWrap: true,
itemBuilder: (context, index) {
return news_tile(
imageurl: article[index].urlToimage,
news_title: article[index].title,
news_desc: article[index].description,
web_url: article[index].url
);
}),
)
and this is the contents of the tile which the list view builder calls
class news_tile extends StatelessWidget {
String imageurl, news_title, news_desc,web_url;
news_tile({this.imageurl, this.news_title, this.news_desc,this.web_url});
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return GestureDetector(
onTap: (){
Navigator.push(context, MaterialPageRoute(
builder: (context) => article_view(
web_url: web_url,
)
));
},
child: Container(
margin: EdgeInsets.only(bottom: 16),
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
ClipRRect(borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(6), child: Image.network(imageurl)),
SizedBox(
height: 8,
),
Text(news_title, style: TextStyle(fontSize: 17,fontWeight: FontWeight.w600)),
SizedBox(
height: 8,
),
Text(news_desc, style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black54))
],
),
),
);
}
}

You could go with the InkWell Widget. It provides a tapping/holding color effect similar to that. Have a look at the official docs here:
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/InkWell-class.html
Note that you need a Material Widget as an ancestor of your InkWell, but the docs explain that more.
Hope it works for you!
Edit: Sorry, since you are working with a Container, Ink is also important for you:
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/Ink-class.html
Check the docs section "The ink splashes aren't visible!" for why that is.
