CupertinoScrollbar class Null safety

An iOS style scrollbar.

To add a scrollbar to a ScrollView, simply wrap the scroll view widget in a CupertinoScrollbar widget.

A scrollbar thumb indicates which portion of a ScrollView is actually visible.

By default, the thumb will fade in and out as the child scroll view scrolls. When thumbVisibility is true, the scrollbar thumb will remain visible without the fade animation. This requires that the ScrollController associated with the Scrollable widget is provided to controller, or that the PrimaryScrollController is being used by that Scrollable widget.

If the scrollbar is wrapped around multiple ScrollViews, it only responds to the nearest ScrollView and shows the corresponding scrollbar thumb by default. The notificationPredicate allows the ability to customize which ScrollNotifications the Scrollbar should listen to.

If the child ScrollView is infinitely long, the RawScrollbar will not be painted. In this case, the scrollbar cannot accurately represent the relative location of the visible area, or calculate the accurate delta to apply when dragging on the thumb or tapping on the track.

Interaction

Scrollbars are interactive and can use the PrimaryScrollController if a controller is not set. Interactive Scrollbar thumbs can be dragged along the main axis of the ScrollView to change the ScrollPosition. Tapping along the track exclusive of the thumb will trigger a ScrollIncrementType.page based on the relative position to the thumb.

When using the PrimaryScrollController, it must not be attached to more than one ScrollPosition. ScrollViews that have not been provided a ScrollController and have a ScrollView.scrollDirection of Axis.vertical will automatically attach their ScrollPosition to the PrimaryScrollController. Provide a unique ScrollController to each Scrollable in this case to prevent having multiple ScrollPositions attached to the PrimaryScrollController.

This sample shows an app with two scrollables in the same route. Since by default, there is one PrimaryScrollController per route, and they both have a scroll direction of Axis.vertical, they would both try to attach to that controller. The Scrollbar cannot support multiple positions attached to the same controller, so one ListView, and its Scrollbar have been provided a unique ScrollController.

Alternatively, a new PrimaryScrollController could be created above one of the ListViews.

flutter create --sample=material.RawScrollbar.1 mysample

Automatic Scrollbars on Desktop Platforms

Scrollbars are added to most Scrollable widgets by default on TargetPlatformVariant.desktop platforms. This is done through ScrollBehavior.buildScrollbar as part of an app's ScrollConfiguration. Scrollables that do not use the PrimaryScrollController or have a ScrollController provided to them will receive a unique ScrollController for use with the Scrollbar. In this case, only one Scrollable can be using the PrimaryScrollController, unless interactive is false. To prevent Axis.vertical Scrollables from using the PrimaryScrollController, set ScrollView.primary to false. Scrollable widgets that do not have automatically applied Scrollbars include

When dragging a CupertinoScrollbar thumb, the thickness and radius will animate from thickness and radius to thicknessWhileDragging and radiusWhileDragging, respectively.

This sample shows a CupertinoScrollbar that fades in and out of view as scrolling occurs. The scrollbar will fade into view as the user scrolls, and fade out when scrolling stops. The thickness of the scrollbar will animate from 6 pixels to the thicknessWhileDragging of 10 when it is dragged by the user. The radius of the scrollbar thumb corners will animate from 34 to the radiusWhileDragging of 0 when the scrollbar is being dragged by the user.

To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=cupertino.CupertinoScrollbar.1 mysample

When thumbVisibility is true, the scrollbar thumb will remain visible without the fade animation. This requires that a ScrollController is provided to controller, or that the PrimaryScrollController is available. isAlwaysShown is deprecated in favor of thumbVisibility.
