I am trying to create a TabBar which has a gradient underline like in the image below.
I tried to use a BoxDecoration as suggested by earlier posts but it does not exactly display as i want it to.
TabBar(
labelColor: Theme.of(context).primaryColor,
indicator: BoxDecoration(
gradient: LinearGradient(
colors: const [Color(0xFF10C7E0), Color(0xFF00D5C3)],
),
),
tabs: ...,
),
When i try that, what i get is
Someone pointed out that this post is a duplicate of how-to-give-a-gradient-line-in-tab-bar-indicator which was posted 10 months ago. BUT the method illustrated there NO longer works. Yes, i tried it.
what's wrong with this option? (based on code from link)
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
void main() => runApp(MyApp());
class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return MaterialApp(
debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
home: DefaultTabController(
length: 2,
child: Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(
title: Text('All', style: TextStyle(color: const Color(0xff596173))),
backgroundColor: Colors.white,
centerTitle: true,
bottom: TabBar(
labelColor: const Color(0xff525c6e),
unselectedLabelColor: const Color(0xffacb3bf),
indicatorPadding: EdgeInsets.all(0.0),
indicatorWeight: 4.0,
labelPadding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 0.0, right: 0.0),
indicator: ShapeDecoration(
shape: UnderlineInputBorder(
borderSide: BorderSide(color: Colors.transparent, width: 0, style: BorderStyle.solid)),
gradient: LinearGradient(colors: [Color(0xff0081ff), Color(0xff01ff80)])),
tabs: <Widget>[
Container(
height: 40,
alignment: Alignment.center,
color: Colors.white,
child: Text("Visual"),
),
Container(
height: 40,
alignment: Alignment.center,
color: Colors.white,
child: Text("Tabular"),
),
],
),
),
body: Container(color: Colors.grey[200]),
),
),
);
}
}
Try to replace it with something like this:
indicator: Container( alignment: Alignment.bottomCenter, child: Container( height: 8.0 decoration: BoxDecoration(...) )

You can create your own indicator by modifying the default UnderlineTabIndicator
.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
class CustomUnderlineTabIndicator extends Decoration {
/// Create an underline style selected tab indicator.
///
/// The [borderSide] and [insets] arguments must not be null.
const CustomUnderlineTabIndicator({
this.gradient,
this.insets = EdgeInsets.zero,
this.borderSide = const BorderSide(width: 2.0, color: Colors.white),
});
/// The color and weight of the horizontal line drawn below the selected tab.
final BorderSide borderSide;
final Gradient? gradient;
/// Locates the selected tab's underline relative to the tab's boundary.
///
/// The [TabBar.indicatorSize] property can be used to define the tab
/// indicator's bounds in terms of its (centered) tab widget with
/// [TabBarIndicatorSize.label], or the entire tab with
/// [TabBarIndicatorSize.tab].
final EdgeInsetsGeometry insets;
@override
Decoration? lerpFrom(Decoration? a, double t) {
if (a is CustomUnderlineTabIndicator) {
return CustomUnderlineTabIndicator(
gradient: Gradient.lerp(a.gradient, gradient, t),
borderSide: BorderSide.lerp(a.borderSide, borderSide, t),
insets: EdgeInsetsGeometry.lerp(a.insets, insets, t)!,
);
}
return super.lerpFrom(a, t);
}
@override
Decoration? lerpTo(Decoration? b, double t) {
if (b is CustomUnderlineTabIndicator) {
return CustomUnderlineTabIndicator(
gradient: Gradient.lerp(gradient, b.gradient, t),
borderSide: BorderSide.lerp(borderSide, b.borderSide, t),
insets: EdgeInsetsGeometry.lerp(insets, b.insets, t)!,
);
}
return super.lerpTo(b, t);
}
@override
BoxPainter createBoxPainter([VoidCallback? onChanged]) {
return _CustomUnderlinePainter(this, onChanged);
}
Rect _indicatorRectFor(Rect rect, TextDirection textDirection) {
final Rect indicator = insets.resolve(textDirection).deflateRect(rect);
return Rect.fromLTWH(
indicator.left,
indicator.bottom - borderSide.width,
indicator.width,
borderSide.width,
);
}
@override
Path getClipPath(Rect rect, TextDirection textDirection) {
return Path()..addRect(_indicatorRectFor(rect, textDirection));
}
}
class _CustomUnderlinePainter extends BoxPainter {
_CustomUnderlinePainter(this.decoration, VoidCallback? onChanged)
: super(onChanged);
final CustomUnderlineTabIndicator decoration;
@override
void paint(Canvas canvas, Offset offset, ImageConfiguration configuration) {
assert(configuration.size != null);
final Rect rect = offset & configuration.size!;
final TextDirection textDirection = configuration.textDirection!;
final Rect indicator = decoration
._indicatorRectFor(rect, textDirection)
.deflate(decoration.borderSide.width / 2.0);
final Paint paint = decoration.borderSide.toPaint()
..strokeCap = StrokeCap.square;
paint.shader =
decoration.gradient?.createShader(rect, textDirection: textDirection);
canvas.drawLine(indicator.bottomLeft, indicator.bottomRight, paint);
}
}
Just copied UnderlineTabIndicator
and added a gradient to it.
