SliverFillRemaining class

A sliver that contains a single box child that fills the remaining space in the viewport.

To learn more about slivers, see CustomScrollView.slivers.

SliverFillRemaining will size its child to fill the viewport in the cross axis. The extent of the sliver and its child's size in the main axis is computed conditionally, described in further detail below.

Typically this will be the last sliver in a viewport, since (by definition) there is never any room for anything beyond this sliver.

Main Axis Extent

When SliverFillRemaining has a scrollable child

The hasScrollBody flag indicates whether the sliver's child has a scrollable body. This value is never null, and defaults to true. A common example of this use is a NestedScrollView. In this case, the sliver will size its child to fill the maximum available extent. SliverFillRemaining will not constrain the scrollable area, as it could potentially have an infinite depth. This is also true for use cases such as a ScrollView when ScrollView.shrinkWrap is true.

When SliverFillRemaining does not have a scrollable child

When hasScrollBody is set to false, the child's size is taken into account when considering the extent to which it should fill the space. The extent to which the preceding slivers have been scrolled is also taken into account in deciding how to layout this sliver.

SliverFillRemaining will size its child to fill the viewport in the main axis if that space is larger than the child's extent, and the amount of space that has been scrolled beforehand has not exceeded the main axis extent of the viewport.

In this sample the SliverFillRemaining sizes its child to fill the remaining extent of the viewport in both axes. The icon is centered in the sliver, and would be in any computed extent for the sliver.

SliverFillRemaining will defer to the size of its child if the child's size exceeds the remaining space in the viewport.

In this sample the SliverFillRemaining defers to the size of its child because the child's extent exceeds that of the remaining extent of the viewport's main axis.

flutter create --sample=widgets.SliverFillRemaining.2 mysample

SliverFillRemaining will defer to the size of its child if the SliverConstraints.precedingScrollExtent exceeded the length of the viewport's main axis.

In this sample the SliverFillRemaining defers to the size of its child because the SliverConstraints.precedingScrollExtent has gone beyond that of the viewport's main axis.

For ScrollPhysics that allow overscroll, such as BouncingScrollPhysics, setting the fillOverscroll flag to true allows the size of the child to stretch, filling the overscroll area. It does this regardless of the path chosen to provide the child's size.

In this sample the SliverFillRemaining's child stretches to fill the overscroll area when fillOverscroll is true. This sample also features a button that is pinned to the bottom of the sliver, regardless of size or overscroll behavior. Try switching fillOverscroll to see the difference.

This sample only shows the overscroll behavior on devices that support overscroll.

Constructors

SliverFillRemaining({Key? key, Widget? child, bool hasScrollBody = true, bool fillOverscroll = false}): Creates a sliver that fills the remaining space in the viewport.
const

Properties

child → Widget?: Box child widget that fills the remaining space in the viewport.
final
fillOverscroll → bool: Indicates whether the child should stretch to fill the overscroll area created by certain scroll physics, such as iOS' default scroll physics. This flag is only relevant when hasScrollBody is false.
final
hashCode → int: The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
hasScrollBody → bool: Indicates whether the child has a scrollable body, this value cannot be null.
final
key → Key?: Controls how one widget replaces another widget in the tree.
finalinherited
runtimeType → Type: A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
