Set the image for switch button in flutter - flutter

Question

How do I set the image for a switch button in flutter using the activeThumbImage property? I am a little confused on how to set the ImageProvider value for this property? Is there any example that I could look at that implements the activeThumbImage property of the Switch widget?

Answer 1

You can use an AssetImage or NetworkImage to get an ImageProvider that is suitable for use as an activeThumbImage. Learn more about asset images in the Adding Assets and Images in Flutter tutorial.
Here is some example code that draws the above Switch:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
MyHomePageState createState() => new MyHomePageState();
}
class MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> with TickerProviderStateMixin {
bool _enabled;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return new Scaffold(
body: new Center(
child: new Switch(
value: _enabled,
onChanged: (bool value) {
setState(() {
_enabled = value;
});
},
activeThumbImage: new NetworkImage('https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-10/pngR9b4lzUy39.png'),
inactiveThumbImage: new NetworkImage('http://wolfrosch.com/_img/works/goodies/icon/vim#2x'),
),
)
);
}
}
void main() {
runApp(new MaterialApp(
title: 'Flutter Demo',
theme: new ThemeData(
primarySwatch: Colors.deepPurple,
),
home: new MyHomePage(),
));
}

Here is my code.
class ToggleButtonScreen extends StatefulWidget {
#override
_ToggleButtonScreenState createState() => _ToggleButtonScreenState();
}
class _ToggleButtonScreenState extends State<ToggleButtonScreen> {
bool _value = false;
#override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
body: SafeArea(
child: Center(
child: Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
image: DecorationImage(
image: _value ? AssetImage("images/cnw.png") : AssetImage("images/cnw.png"),
fit: BoxFit.cover,
),
),
child: Padding(
padding: EdgeInsets.all(AppDimens.EDGE_REGULAR),
child: Column(
children: [
_normalToggleButton(),
],
),
),
),
),
),
);
}
Widget _normalToggleButton () {
return Container(
child: Transform.scale(
scale: 2.0,
child: Switch(
activeColor : Colors.greenAccent,
inactiveThumbColor: Colors.redAccent,
value: _value,
activeThumbImage: AssetImage("images/cnw.png"),
inactiveThumbImage : AssetImage("images/simple_interest.png"),
onChanged: (bool value){
setState(() {
_value = value;
});
},
),
),
);
}
}
