Is there any way to slowly fade-in and out a floating action button? I have in my list a FAB to offer the user a way to quickly scroll to the top of the list.
So far I've found in various posts how to detect when the list is scrolled to the top or away from the top (https://medium.com/#diegoveloper/flutter-lets-know-the-scrollcontroller-and-scrollnotification-652b2685a4ac), but I fail to find how I can change the alpha value of a widget. Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks

This example is from flutter dev page:
With a AnimatedOpacity you can fade any widget.
Just put you floating action button as child of AnimatedOpacity.
Here is some example:
AnimatedOpacity(
// If the widget is visible, animate to 0.0 (invisible).
// If the widget is hidden, animate to 1.0 (fully visible).
opacity: _visible ? 1.0 : 0.0,
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 500),
// The green box must be a child of the AnimatedOpacity widget.
child: Container(
width: 200.0,
height: 200.0,
color: Colors.green,
),
);
You can find more info and full code here: https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook/animation/opacity-animation

I have a layout where I have a row and inside this row, I have a custom expansion tiles list and a custom widget, which is a rectangle with a fixed width of 5 pixels, the height of the rectangle must be the same, as the expansion tile's height.
To make the rectangle the same height as the expansion panel, I used intrinsic height.
So, the structure is this IntrinsicHeight: Row: [ExpansionPanel, Container]
The problem is that when I use IntrinsicHeight all animations are broken.
Animation in the expansion tile list is working, but the container which contains the row does not resize following the animation, but does it without any intermediate steps.
I have tried to use different types of animation.
Implicit tween animation builder
return TweenAnimationBuilder(
tween: Tween<double>(begin: 0, end: opened ? 1 : 0),
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 600),
builder: (_,double value, __){
return ClipRect(
clipBehavior: Clip.antiAlias,
child: Align(
alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter,
heightFactor: value,
child: value != 0 ? body : null,
),);
}
);
Cross fade animation
return AnimatedCrossFade(
firstChild: body,
secondChild: Container(height: 0,),
duration: Duration(milliseconds: 600),
crossFadeState: opened ? CrossFadeState.showFirst : CrossFadeState.showSecond,
sizeCurve: Curves.ease,
);
Changing animation type didn't fix my problem.
My questions are following:
Is there an option to make an animation of size simultaneously using IntrinsicHeightWidget
If there is not such an option, Is there an option to make a Rectangle widget with the same height as an expansion tile list, but without the IntrinsicHeight widget.
I have captured a video to show how the problem looks like.

I have seen similar problems, but I didn't get success implementing them in my case.

How do you position a custom back button on the exact location where the back button usually would be in an app bar?
Is kToolbarHeight 4px off?
Goal
I fade in the original app bar as the bottom sheet is pushed to the top.
Currently I'm using a Stack widget that positions the back button with kToolbarHeight from the top, but apparently that doesn't really match (It's rather kToolbarHeight - 4px).
I use a custom implementation of a back button, but this problem persists with the original backButton widget too.
Stack(
children: [
Map(...),
const Positioned(
top: kToolbarHeight,
left: 4.0,
child: CustomBackButton(),
),
],
);
Groundwork
I've looked it up in the dev tools and the original source code but couldn't find a reliable constant nor anything helpful.
Try like this:
Give your CustomBackButton() widget the dimensions of a square of kToolbarHeight side.
Inside your Stack, add a SafeArea child, into which you position the CustomBackButton() in the top left corner. That should place it in the right position.
I have an app and I want a 'reveal in animation' where when the screen is initialized, the elements I want look like they are 'moving inside' the screen. I think using AnimatedPositioned would be the correct option but I am not able to do with the code I have right now. My elements are in the following widget hierarchy so please answer accordingly.
Scaffold
- Row
- Padding
- Column
- Container (widget I want to reveal in)
- Container (widget I want to reveal in)
- Padding
- Column
- Container (widget I want to reveal in)
- Container (widget I want to reveal in)
I would suggest to use PositionedTransition, where you can set begin and end. You can try to follow this article. I works like this:
PositionedTransition(
rect: RelativeRectTween(
begin: RelativeRect.fromLTRB(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
end: RelativeRect.fromLTRB(100.0, 100.0, 0.0, 0.0),
).animate(_animationController),
child: Container(width: 100, height: 100, color: Colors.red,),
),
Pls let me know if it helped. Cheers
I'm using AnimatedOpacity to hide some widgets in Stack between various states in my app.
For instance I have Stack with ListView and animating loading indicator (shimmer) below, so that when list is populated the animated background opacity is gradually set to 0.
Stack:
- AnimatedOpacity (
opacity: _populated ? 0.0 : 1.0,
child: AnimatedLoadingWidget,
),
- ListView
Do I understand correctly that the animation in AnimatedLoadingWidget continues and is rendered even if opacity is set to 0.0? Does it have a performance impact on the app?
If you're wondering whether or not the widget is still rendered when an opacity of 0, then no.
Opacity and its animated variant is clever enough to not render the child if the opacity is strictly equal to 0.
But that's not enough. Even with an opacity of 0, your loading widget is still in the widget tree, and its animation continues to play.
To be more specific, with typical:
Opacity(
opacity: 0,
child: const CircularProgressIndicator(),
)
the spinner will not be visible, but it will still endlessly request new frames.
To fix that, we can use TickerMode widget like so:
Opacity(
opacity: 0,
child: TickerMode(
enabled: false,
child: const CircularProgressIndicator(),
),
)
Doing so will "mute" animations played using the animation framework, and as such, the spinner will stop requesting for new frames.
Alternatively, you can use AnimatedCrossFade with a custom layoutBuilder to achieve a similar effect.
I implemented SlideTransition for a widget in flutter, and it slides in as expected. The issue is that before the animation is called, the space where the slider is going to be displayed later is empty.
How can I make the parent to give this space to other widgets in the layout until the moment that a slider comes into view?
I was thinking about giving a slider the initial height of zero, but then the widgets inside the slider would act funny as the height changes in sync with sliding. I wonder if there is a simpler way.
The parent is:
new Scaffold(
appBar: _appBar,
body: new Column(
children: <Widget>[
new Expanded(
child: _body;
}),
),
new SlideTransition(
position: _sliderPosition, //
child: _slider,
),
],
);
And the position is defined as:
_sliderPosition = new MaterialPointArcTween(
begin: const Offset(0.0, 1.0),
end: Offset.zero,
).animate(_animationController);
I solved this issue by replacing _slider with _buildSlider() which returns null until a slider is needed.
This is also better for performance as there is no need to render a slider if it's hidden.
Bumped into the same issue with a SlideTransition taking the full height during a vertical slide. In the end I achieved the slide effect by using a SizeTransition instead, and setting its axisAlignment property accordingly (-1, 0, 1 for top/center/bottom in my case).
