In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a gradient app bar in a flutter.

Final Output

Before starting anything, In every code, we need a page to contain our whole source code. So let’s start…

import "package:flutter/material.dart";

class AppBar extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_AppBarState createState() => _AppBarState();
}

class _AppBarState extends State<AppBar> {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text("Flutter Demo Appbar"),
),
body: Text("XXXXXXX"));
}
}

We have used the AppBar in our code above, just a simple one. It will show an app bar with a title. It is easy to use. It usually uses with the appBar parameter of the Scaffold.

Now the quetion arises is it possible to convert a simple appbar in gradient appbar ??

Yes, it is possible, let’s see

Here in the appbar there is simple property which is flexibleSpace. In that flexible` Space we can use a widget. So now we simply use a Container and give a gradient layout using linear or any other gradient method.

appBar: AppBar(
centerTitle: true,
title: Text(widget.title),
flexibleSpace: Container(
decoration: BoxDecoration(
gradient: LinearGradient(
begin: Alignment.topLeft,
end: Alignment.bottomRight,
colors: <Color>[
Colors.red,
Colors.blue
])
),
),
),
In this above code, we use gradient method for color and that’s solve
