Flutter is a mobile app SDK that allows you to develop high-quality native apps for iOS and Android. One of the most exciting features of Flutter is its support for creating custom widgets.
Sliver widgets are a special type of widget that is designed to be used with the SliverList and SliverGrid classes. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to use sliver widgets in your Flutter apps.
In the past, creating a custom user interface in Android involved a lot of effort and know-how. You had to use different Layout classes and ViewGroups to achieve the desired look and feel. But with Flutter, all of that has changed.
Now, with the help of the Sliver widget, you can easily create custom user interfaces in Flutter.
We’ve seen that ListView, ListView.Builder, and the GridView widgets all help us look at a list of things. But as we’ve seen, there is a distinct group of widgets also named sliver widgets. The sliver widgets are actually used to scroll through a list of items, but they also provide us with much more control than the less complicated widgets.
Flutter’s Sliver Widgets are a powerful tool for creating stunning effects in your app. Here’s how to use them to create amazing effects:
Use the SliverList widget to create a list of items that can be scrolled through.
Use the SliverGrid widget to create a grid of items that can be scrolled through.
Use the SliverToBoxAdapter widget to place a single box in the middle of the screen that can be scrolled through.
Use the SliverAppBar widget to create a floating app bar that can be scrolled through.
Use the SliverPersistentHeader widget to create a header that remains at the top of the screen while you scroll through other content.
