Flutter Development (Day -07):
  • All source code : Click Here
  • Today we are going to talk more about lists and its types.
  • Lists are very important in any field like if we want to return large amount of data we can't assing every single value to a String variable and display it is a tedious task to do , but Flutter makes it easy for us just wrap the list in a ListView widget then it is ready.

    Types of Lists.

    1. Horizontal List
    2. Vertical List
    3. Grid List

Horizontal List:

  • Same as returning the ListView in previous tutorials just add a property scrollDirection:Axis.horizontal.

Vertical List:

  • We already discussed in our previous tutorials.

Grid List:
  • Sometimes you might want to display your items as a grid rather than a normal list of items that come one after the next. For this task, use the GridView widget.

Ex.

import 'Package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:random_color/random_color.dart';

class WorkingWithLists extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _WorkingWithListsState createState() => _WorkingWithListsState();
}

class _WorkingWithListsState extends State<WorkingWithLists> {
  RandomColor randomColor = RandomColor();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Working with Lists"),
        centerTitle: true,
        backgroundColor: RandomColor().randomColor(),
      ),
      body: GridView(
        gridDelegate:
            SliverGridDelegateWithFixedCrossAxisCount(crossAxisCount: 2),
        scrollDirection: Axis.vertical,
        children: <Widget>[
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
          _showGrid(),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }

  Widget _showGrid() {
    return Container(
      margin: const EdgeInsets.all(2.0),
      color: RandomColor().randomColor(),
      child: Center(
        child: Text(
          "Grid",
          style: TextStyle(
              color: Colors.white, fontSize: 30.0, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

  • Here I used some extra stuff like returning a function instead typing again and again same code.
  • Used random_color: ^1.0.3 package to generate random colors.
  • Grid view is also a type of Scrollable widget.It requires a crossAxisCount which is nothing but it returns two 2 columns change the number and scrollDirection and see the magic.
