Flutter - SelectedItemColor in bottomNavigationBar not working - flutter

Question

I need to display a BottomNavigationBar with the same width in each item and a yelowish color in the selected but the property seems that's not working
Here's the code
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed,
showUnselectedLabels: true,
selectedItemColor: Color(0xffffd156),
backgroundColor: Color(0xff22273d).withOpacity(1),
currentIndex: _currentIndex,
onTap: (int index) {
_currentIndex = index;
setState(() {
_currentIndex = index;
});
print(_currentIndex);
if(porraIsActive=="Active" && userPorra && _currentIndex ==1){
Navigator.pushNamed(context, '/vistaPorra');
_currentIndex = 0;
}
},
items: getBottomBar()
)
And Each Item is stored in a List
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: SvgPicture.asset("images/home_24_px.svg",
),
title: Text("Inicio", style: GoogleFonts.openSans(fontSize: 10, color:Color(0xff99ffffff)),
),
backgroundColor: Color(0xff22273d).withOpacity(1),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: SvgPicture.asset("images/soccer_24_px.svg",),
title: Text("La porra", style: GoogleFonts.openSans(fontSize: 10, color:Color(0xff99ffffff)),),
backgroundColor: Color(0xff22273d).withOpacity(1),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: SvgPicture.asset("images/calendar_24_px.svg",),
title: Text("Calendario", style: GoogleFonts.openSans(fontSize: 10, color:Color(0xff99ffffff)),),
backgroundColor: Color(0xff22273d).withOpacity(1),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: SvgPicture.asset("images/classification_24_px.svg",),
title: Text("Clasificacion", style: GoogleFonts.openSans(fontSize: 10, color:Color(0xff99ffffff)),),
backgroundColor: Color(0xff22273d).withOpacity(1),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: SvgPicture.asset("images/more_horiz_24_px.svg",),
title: Text("Más", style: GoogleFonts.openSans(fontSize: 10, color:Color(0xff99ffffff)),),
backgroundColor: Color(0xff22273d).withOpacity(1),
),
];

You should placed the bottom navigation items as an array of BottomNavigationBarItem
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
items: const <BottomNavigationBarItem>[
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.home),
title: Text('Home'),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.business),
title: Text('Business'),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.school),
title: Text('School'),
),
],
currentIndex: _selectedIndex,
selectedItemColor: Colors.amber[800],
onTap: _onItemTapped,
),
Here is the complete code for three bottom navigation bar from Flutter website.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
/// This Widget is the main application widget.
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
static const String _title = 'Flutter Code Sample';
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
title: _title,
home: MyStatefulWidget(),
);
}
}
class MyStatefulWidget extends StatefulWidget {
MyStatefulWidget({Key key}) : super(key: key);
#override
_MyStatefulWidgetState createState() => _MyStatefulWidgetState();
}
class _MyStatefulWidgetState extends State<MyStatefulWidget> {
int _selectedIndex = 0;
static const TextStyle optionStyle =
TextStyle(fontSize: 30, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold);
static const List<Widget> _widgetOptions = <Widget>[
Text(
'Index 0: Home',
style: optionStyle,
),
Text(
'Index 1: Business',
style: optionStyle,
),
Text(
'Index 2: School',
style: optionStyle,
),
];
void _onItemTapped(int index) {
setState(() {
_selectedIndex = index;
});
}
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: const Text('BottomNavigationBar Sample'),
),
body: Center(
child: _widgetOptions.elementAt(_selectedIndex),
),
bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
items: const <BottomNavigationBarItem>[
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.home),
title: Text('Home'),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.business),
title: Text('Business'),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.school),
title: Text('School'),
),
],
currentIndex: _selectedIndex,
selectedItemColor: Colors.amber[800],
onTap: _onItemTapped,
),
);
}
}

Seems like it will help you,
getBottomBar(){
List items = <BottomNavigationBarItem>[
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.home),
title: Text('Home'),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.business),
title: Text('Business'),
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.school),
title: Text('School'),
),
];
return items;
}

Here i am changing the color to green. Just try it
items: const <BottomNavigationBarItem>[
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.home),
label: 'First',
),
BottomNavigationBarItem(
icon: Icon(Icons.exit_to_app),
label: 'Second',
),
],
selectedItemColor: Colors.green,
